Pilot Vanishing Point Collection Fountain Pen - Red & Gold - Fine Point - P60167

An Excellent Pen

I use a pen all day long. One of my complaints with fountain pens is lay it down for a few minutes while you complete another task and then the point is dry. With this pen, just click it closed and when you're ready to write again click it open and the ink feed is ready to go. Also I have many fountain pens (yes, a collector) and the majority allow the point feed to dry out while capped even a relatively short time. In fairness I do live and work in an area of low humidity. The Pilot Vanishing Point takes a day or so of non-use for the point to dry while capped, and only a couple of touches to bring the ink back.

My work requires a fine point. This pen (14K gold fine point) has the best fine point of any pen I have ever used. I actually bought a second one in a different color just to see it the first was unusual--the second one exactly like the other. SUPERIOR fine point! The line is fine and the touch is very smooth even on paper that is geared more for printers than handwriting (let alone a fountain pen fine point).

Yes the clip down writing position does take getting used to, but nothing that is hard to do.Read full review
