Pilot Vanishing Point 18k Gold Nib Units

$120.00

In Stock

As of late 2026, Pilot has (temporarily, we hope) suspended further sales of these nib units. We have a small number in Broad still available for individual sale – nibs in Fine or Medium are still available with your purchase of a gold trim Vanishing Point pen, which themselves have also been discontinued.

As a courtesy to the customers who come to us for our noted nib customizations, we are making these last  individual Broad nibs only available with your choice of customization. If you would like an unmodified Broad nib, it is again available with a Vanishing Point pen purchase.

We apologize for these restrictions, and will return to our regular menu of ordering options as soon as Pilot makes these nibs available once more. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

Description

Pilot Vanishing Point 18k Gold Nib Units are simple to swap out on your own, making it easy to change at home. These factory-new nibs are fully compatible with all modern Pilot Vanishing Point and Decimo models.

Each unit comes with our complimentary nib tuning, and is also eligible for a wide range of our nib customization options.

Pilot Vanishing Point 18k Gold Nib Units are provided in Fine, Medium,  and Broad – for Extra Fine and stock Stub options, see the Black and Rhodium trim Vanishing Point nib units also available from us. Whatever the trim color, these nib units can be used in any contemporary Vanishing Point or Decimo  fountain pen.

While the plating specifically matches the pens in gold trim, only the very tip of the nib is ever visible while writing. Because of this, matching the plating of the nib to the trim of the pen is much less critical than it normally is in the fountain pen world.

Since these are complete nib assemblies, they are eligible for our complimentary nib tuning services and can be customized with any of the modifications compatible with 18k gold nibs. For those interested in regrinds such as Architects Point, Cursive Italic, or Stub, broader nib sizes typically yield the best results.

Each nib unit is supplied with a Pilot CON-40 converter, making it ready for use with bottled ink. We highly recommend Pilot’s Iroshizuku line, available in over twenty vibrant and sophisticated shades. These nib units are also compatible with Pilot’s proprietary ink cartridges, which come in a wide array of distinctive colors.

We are an authorized Pilot dealer. All products are received directly from the manufacturer.
