This classic fountain pen has a high-quality black and gold body and provides an excellent, smooth writing experience.
As a product that boasts the role of the quintessential classic among Pilot’s extensive lineup of fountain pens, this product is perfect for beginners looking to try a fountain pen for the first time. The pen has a 14-karat gold nib and performs at a level that matches its price point, making it a popular choice.
The pen body is a shiny black and weighs a light 17.4 g that’s also comfortable for smaller hands. The base of the pen cap is engraved with, “Custom 74 Pilot Made in Japan.”
True to its name “Custom,” this pen can be switched out with any one of 11 types of nibs for a variety of line widths and styles. This Custom 74 pen offered in the Hobonichi Store comes with a medium-fine nib ideal for general writing. The line is slightly thicker than that of the Vanishing Point Fountain F.
Because the nib is flexible, the line it draws becomes thicker over continued use, making it a pen you can grow with over time.
The fountain pen body comes with a single blank ink cartridge.
