Pilot Custom Urushi Vermilion

The Pilot Custom Urushi is a prestigious fountain pen that exemplifies the highest level of craftsmanship and artistry. Handcrafted in Japan, this pen features a large, substantial barrel made from lightweight Ebonite, meticulously finished with traditional Urushi lacquer. The Urushi technique involves the application of multiple layers of natural lacquer, resulting in a deep, glossy finish that enhances the pen’s beauty and durability. This luxurious coating also gives the pen a warm, smooth feel in hand.

At its heart, the Pilot Custom Urushi is fitted with a highly responsive 18-karat gold No. 30 nib, one of the largest nibs offered by Pilot. This oversized nib ensures superior ink flow and an ultra-smooth writing experience, allowing for precise line variation and elegant handwriting. Available in fine, medium, and broad nib options, the Custom Urushi caters to a wide range of writing preferences.

The pen utilizes a cartridge-converter filling system, compatible with Pilot’s high-capacity CON-70 converter, which holds ample ink for long writing sessions. This system offers the flexibility to use either ink cartridges or bottled ink, providing convenience and versatility.

The Custom Urushi is adorned with gold-plated accents, including the clip and cap band, adding to its luxurious aesthetic. The cap features a secure **screw-on mechanism**, preventing ink from drying out when not in use. 

Presented in a premium wooden box, the Pilot Custom Urushi is an exquisite writing instrument that combines traditional Japanese techniques with modern functionality, making it a prized possession for fountain pen enthusiasts and collectors alike.
