Pilot Vanishing Point Blue Carbonesque

Description

The Pilot Vanishing Point — sometimes marketed simply as the “Capless” — stands as a groundbreaking innovation in the world of contemporary fountain pens. With a design legacy spanning several decades, it remains one of the most unique and practical luxury pens available today. The Pilot Vanishing Point Blue Carbonesque highlights the pen’s modern appeal.

Unlike traditional fountain pens, the Vanishing Point features a retractable 18k gold nib operated by a convenient click mechanism, similar to a ballpoint. This ingenious engineering allows users to enjoy the elegance and performance of a true fountain pen with the ease of a one-handed click.

Designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind, the pen’s streamlined body is available in a broad range of finishes and trim options. Whether you’re in a fast-paced professional setting, an academic environment, or a creative workspace, the Vanishing Point delivers both style and reliability. It’s also well-suited for mobile professionals — from doctors and engineers to designers and architects — who need a durable, no-fuss fountain pen for daily use.

Every purchase from us includes free nib tuning, so your pen arrives adjusted to your own preferences. You can also explore optional custom nib modifications to personalize your writing experience with styles such as Cursive Italic or Architects Point.

Additional nib units for the Vanishing Point can be purchased separately, allowing for easy nib swaps at home — no more difficult than changing an ink cartridge. These affordable, high-quality nibs also offer a perfect entry point into the world of nib customizations.

For those interested in most nib regrinds, we recommend starting with Broad or factory Stub options. If you need an even finer line than the Extra Fine, our Needlepoint modification delivers an ultra extra fine line.

This pen uses Pilot’s cartridge-converter filling system. You can fill it with bottled ink using the included converter, or opt for Pilot’s user-friendly single-use cartridges — now offered in an expanding selection of vibrant ink colors.

Each Vanishing Point arrives in a stylish gift box, complete with two ink cartridges, a converter, and full instructions. PacificPenWorks is an authorized retailer of Pilot products, sourcing all pens directly from the manufacturer.
