The Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen in gun metal with black trim brings the ease of a click mechanism to a true 18k gold nib. Its capless retractable design keeps the nib protected and ready at a moment's notice, making it a refined companion for everyday notes, quick signatures, and focused journaling.
Craftsmanship & Design
A sleek metal body finished in understated gun metal pairs with stealthy black accents for a modern, professional look. The top push-button deploys and retracts the nib, while an internal sealing door helps guard against dry-out between uses. A front-mounted clip sets a consistent grip point, an iconic detail of the Vanishing Point that also keeps the pen from rolling off the desk.
Writing Experience
Pilot's 18k gold nib is known for smooth, dependable performance across a wide range of papers. Available in extra fine, fine, medium, and broad, it offers precise control for daily writing or expressive line variation with broader tips. The balanced weight of the metal construction feels composed in hand, and Pilot's proprietary cartridge or converter system keeps refilling simple and tidy.

Super pleased with everything about Truphae, most notably their customer service.
I was nervous to purchase the Pilot VP because I'm a lefty with a weird grip. After using the pen at work for a week, I can safely say that I wish I would've purchased this pen sooner. Super happy with the overall feel and I definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a nice, convenient pen to carry on the daily.
So I have a couple of these pens with different ink colors.. wanted the gray one with black accents. Chris came through as always.. never met the dude but just texting with him I can tell he is a great guy. He placed the order, updated me on status and when I got the pen, I loved it. I have this one with black ink and use it often.. love the medium gold nib... Smooth, not too much ink on regular paper doesn't bleed. Thanks again Chris
