The Pilot Capless is one of the world's finest fountain pens - not just an intriguing technical proposition with it's unique reliable and effortless retraction mechanism, but also a very fine writer thanks to the high-quality 18k gold nib. The plain rhodium trim version of the classic pen is our favourite. Available in black, blue, red and silver barrel colours. Same 18k gold nib as the traditional Capless, just rhodium-plated for a more contemporary polished silver colour.
NEW - YELLOW, GREY and GREEN finishes now in stock |

In 1964 Pilot's engineers created many new products to celebrate the Tokyo Olympics. The greatest of their achievements was the Pilot Capless fountain pen.
Known as the Vanishing Point in the US, the Capless is 'the perfect combination of luxury and technology'. A simple cap-end push-button withdraws the nib into the body, closing an air-tight seal behind it to seal the nib and prevent it from drying out.
The Capless can be used with ink cartridges and is also supplied with a converter to allow it to be used with bottled ink. Available in a range of finishes, including the prestigious Namiki Raden, all come supplied in a luxury gift box.
We are able to offer a choice of fine, medium or broad nibs - these days the medium nibs are less fine than they used to be and more in line with a typical European medium. Fine is exceptionally fine - being equivalent to a Pilot G-Tec-C4 0.4mm rollerball!
Pilot are not well known in the UK for their fine pens, but are considered by experts to be of exceedingly high quality. Pilot-Namiki nibs are held in the same esteem as Pelikan, Waterman and other high-end manufacturers. Our many customers for this pen attest to the supreme quality of writing and the high level of practicality offered by this pen.
NEW - Due to demand we are now able to supply replacement fine, medium and broad nibs in both gold and rhodium finish. |
