Overview

Pilot Fountain Pen Retractable Black Matte Capless (Nib: EF).

The Capless line opened in 1963 and in 1966 the design took the Okochi Memorial Technology Prize for the invention and for getting it into production. It writes with a Pilot nib in 18k gold rhodium plated, filled by cartridge / converter and a click-action retractable mechanism, with no cap. For reference, with a body 13 mm in diameter. Pilot product with official factory warranty.

Pilot's capless fountain pens feature a retractable system that provides fluidity and comfort when writing. Its 18k rhodium-plated gold nib is hidden inside the body of the pen and therefore cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is operated and retracts with a simple click, proving that innovation still has a place in writing instruments. Available in many colors!

Questions & Answers

Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?

All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.

What filling system does it use?

It is filled by cartridge / converter; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.

Does the nib dry out when there is no cap to close?

No. A shutter inside the head stays closed under spring pressure and the nib pushes it open on the way out, so the nib sits in a sealed chamber whenever it is retracted.

How is the lacquer cared for?

Wipe it with a soft slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents and abrasive products.

Is the colour uniform across the whole production?

Yes, the lacquer is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.

What warranty does it carry?

It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.

La entrega del producto fue perfecta. El producto se presentó bien empaquetado. En cuanto a la pluma en tengo que devir que es justo lo que buscaba, sobre todo, porque uso las agendas Hobonichi que tienen una cuadrícula miy pequeña y este tamaño es perfecto.

This pen is everything I thought it would be - and more. Such a smooth writing experience and enjoyable feel for longer writing sessions. I love that it doesn’t have a cap so you can click and go when you need. It’s a perfect addition to your every day pens - while still being a luxurious treat. Shipping was incredibly fast and efficient! I’ll be back for more

Great pen and excellent service

I have always wondered how I would get on with this pen so I bought a Jinhau 10. I really liked it, apart from the fine nib so I placed an order for a genuine Pilot Capless with Iguana.

The Pilot arrived in about 5 days, excellent service.

The pen is brilliant for note taking. I think that's what it is designed for. Also comfortable for longer writing sessions. I ordered it with a Broad nib, which is nice, smooth and the usual Pilot gold nib feel.

I have ordered a Pilot gold nib section in stub to use in the Jinhau.

First purchase from Iguana and I will be using them again

Hello Anthony,

We're so glad your Pilot Capless is the perfect companion for notes and long writing sessions—that smooth Broad nib really is something special!

Thank you for choosing us for your first purchase—we’ll make sure your next one is just as enjoyable.

Angenehm zu schreiben und praktisch

Diese Füllfeder ist jeden Cent wert - praktisch, elegant-modern und schreibt ausgesprochen angenehm (Feder B). Etwas schwerer als Pilot Decimo, aber liegt sehr angenehm in der Hand. Flotte Lieferung und gut verpackt. Jederzeit wieder!

Herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Feedback! Es freut uns besonders, dass Sie die Feder (Größe B) als so angenehm im Schreiben empfinden und das moderne Design überzeugt. Dass das Paket schnell und sicher bei Ihnen ankam, ist für uns eine schöne Bestätigung. Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen!

Super Füllfederhalter

Dieser Füller ist super. Schreibt gut, liegt gut in der Hand und trocknet auch nicht gleich aus, wenn er ein Weilchen nicht benutzt wird. Händler hat schnell geliefert und war auch noch ein wenig günstiger als Andere. Sehr empfehlenswert. Danke

Enamorada

Amo esta pluma. Desde que probé este modelo, la stripes con punta F, me cautivó. Ahora junto con esta en punta EF tengo el dúo perfecto. Es como mantequilla cuando escribes. La facilidad de tenerla disponible para usar prácticamente al momento con solo accionar el botón trasero. Lo elegantes que son. Esta en particular es muy ligera. Después de escribir con ellas no quiero escribir con otras plumas. A veces solo busco una excusa para escribir y usarlas.
