Pilot's breakthrough retractable fountain pen returns in an understated, stealthy finish. The Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen in Black Matte pairs everyday convenience with true nib craftsmanship, delivering one-handed operation without sacrificing the character of an 18k gold nib.
Craftsmanship & Design
The matte black exterior offers a tactile, low-glare surface with matching dark trim for a cohesive, modern look. A front-mounted clip naturally guides the fingers into a stable grip, while the internal sealing mechanism protects the nib from drying when retracted. The design is streamlined and pocket-ready, making it an ideal companion from desk to travel.
Writing Experience
The retractable 18k gold nib provides a smooth, consistent line with quick starts and reliable flow. Choose from extra fine, fine, medium, broad, or stub to suit everything from precise annotation to expressive handwriting. Balanced in hand and effortless to deploy, this capless design encourages more writing, more often.

I've beem wanting to get one of these for a while. I really like the matt black finish. It write like a dream. It is not too wet and not scratchy
I am left handed and got the regylar fine nib.
The Pilot VP is a classic. It is a timeless design and an important example of what a great capless fountain pen should be and do. Its design has been influential for years, yet the styling of various options such as the matte black version keep it fresh and contemporary. It is a great entry level gold nib pen, and it is a wonderful pen for the office, travel, and daily use. While some may not like the converter, I’m not bothered by it as this is the one pen I prefer to use cartridges with. Great pen, and wonderful in-store service from April and Kristy.
Love this pen so much. Glides like butter.
