Pilot Vanishing Point Collection Fountain Pen - Matte Black Features:
Ordered my Pilot Vanishing Point in matte black with a stub nib last week and it just arrived today - love it! I was expecting more of a calligraphy type nib (I know it’s tipped bu...view moret I was expecting less-tipped if that makes sense). I have a couple of calligraphy nibs from lamy and Pilot that give nice variation but they’re really scratchy and this is so much smoother. It has less variation than I wanted but that may be due to how wet it writes so I’m going to see if it breaks in or maybe adjust it a bit. I’m pretty new to FPs But I have. A few gold nibs to compare with and this is my favorite so far. It’s wetter and slightly more springy than I expected but it really performs. Smoothest out of all the ones I have even the more expensive ones, with almost no feedback on cheaper paper. I don’t like big heavy pens and was thinking about getting the decimo but I’m really happy with this one. It is solid but not too heavy - just enough to give you a feel of quality, and it is no more bulky than a falcon. The clip doesn’t bother me at all and actually provides a nice index for my grip. It writes better at more vertical angles than most of my pens so if you like to choke up on your pens you will appreciate that. I prefer a matte finish and this is very nice: smoother than the lamy special editions but silky, like smooth, oiled, but unfinished wood. The mechanism is solid and smooth, and there are no mismatched lines or loose tolerances at all. I don’t know if I got lucky or they’re all made this well but this pen is a demonstration in understated elegance and quality right down to the tiny precisely made and fitted nib. It’s not exactly a status symbol I know, but Im an engineer and can’t wait to show it to my colleagues. Oh yes, the service from goldspot is awesome! I’m a returning customer and intend to deal with them again whether via eBay or directly. Shipped fast (with tracking thank you), great price, and no nonsense. I may still go for that decimo in a medium to compare nibs if I can get a good price through the holidays. view less
