The Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen in Black & Gold brings the brand's iconic retractable design to a sleek, everyday companion. A single click reveals an 18k gold nib, while an internal shutter helps prevent dry-out between notes. The glossy black finish and warm gold trim create a timeless look that slips easily from pocket to page.
Craftsmanship & Design
Built around Pilot's one-handed push-button mechanism, this Vanishing Point keeps the nib safely tucked away when not in use. The front-mounted clip stabilizes your grip and doubles as a roll stop, and the durable lacquered finish stands up well to daily carry without sacrificing elegance.
Writing Experience
The 18k gold nib offers a smooth, responsive feel with excellent flow control for quick lists, meeting notes, and long journaling sessions alike. Choose fine, medium, or broad to match your handwriting style. The reliable cartridge/converter system makes refilling straightforward, with access to Pilot's proprietary cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled inks.

This is my sixth or seventh Vanishing Point, and replaces the second one that I’ve had to send back to the factory. If you buy one make certain to get it from Truphae, because they’ll help you when (not if) it goes bad. Or just buy a Lamy Dialog from Truphae instead.
The pen has been great. It’s super smooth and a touch bouncy. For such a small nib I’ve been very surprised. The clip hasn’t been in the way of my grip either. I’ve been very impressed.
