Description

The Pilot Vanishing Point Red Gold exemplifies the distinctive appearance and reliable performance that define this celebrated line of writing instruments. Als known as the Capless, the Vanishing Point has become an iconic contemporary fountain pen model.

Its standout feature is the retractable 18k gold nib, activated by a push-button mechanism that mirrors the ease of a ballpoint. This clever design offers the best of both worlds to those who write frequently and value a tuned and customized fountain pen.

The Red Gold version combines a vibrant finish with a sleek silhouette, making it equally suited for creative environments and professional use. Whether you’re annotating documents, sketching ideas, or journaling on the go, the Vanishing Point is built to deliver smooth performance with minimal fuss.

Every pen purchased through PacificPenWorks includes our free nib tuning service, tailored to suit your individual writing style. For those seeking further customization, we also offer a variety of nib modification options, ideal for artists, calligraphers, and pen enthusiasts alike.

This Red Gold is normally offered with your choice of Fine, Medium, or Broad nibs. If you’re after additional nib options, we can also provide rhodium-plated 18k nib units in Extra Fine and Stub. Since only the very tip of the nib is visible when writing, pairing a gold-trimmed body with a rhodium-plated nib is not the faux pas it would normally be considered in the fountain pen world – some users even prefer the subtle two-tone appearance.

Switching nibs is quick and effortless. These interchangeable units, also available for individual purchase, work across the entire Vanishing Point range and serve as the ideal foundation for exploring our specialized nib grinds.

Interested in expressive line variation? The Broad and Stub nibs are excellent candidates for custom modifications such as the Architects Point or Cursive Italic. And for those who need ultra-fine precision, our Needlepoint grind delivers exceptional detail.

This pen features a cartridge-converter filling system, allowing you to use Pilot’s proprietary ink cartridges, or any bottled fountain pen ink when the pen is fitted with the included converter.

Each Vanishing Point comes packaged in a stylish gift box and includes a reusable converter, two ink cartridges, and a set of instructions. As an authorized Pilot retailer, PacificPenWorks sources all pens directly from the manufacturer for assured authenticity and quality.
