Oh, pretty face is appeared ! "Capless" is pronoun of innovation and revolution. Let's take some interesting features. Wonderful features Cheerful - this small nib is very pretty. As if children who enjoy hide and seek. Stylish - surely, this is most modern sophisticated design form. In addition this point, brass body produce characteristic shine and moderate weight. Function - This is special instruction. Do nothing but "Knock" Surprisingly, you can protect nib from dry out by only one hand. Actually, this is big weak point of fountain pen. Nib is very weak to dry. For protecting from dry out, it is needed to write continuously. But normally president's speech is long. Let's knock, knock ! Don't forget to knock, even if you are nominated for members of cabinet. By the way, Capless have more than 50 years history. However the color is not turned into sepia. In the long history, design has been changed several times. So, it has been "innovation" for matching era. The axis of this model have moderate thickness. Combination with weight, you feel profound feeling. Nib... cheerful ? Profound ? Ummm... nib The nib is special alloy. You can see inside when you change ink. Interesting mechanism. Converter is sold separately. Suitable is "CON-20 and CON-50" / products of PILOT. Equipped semi-transparent pipe is not converter. It's purpose is to keep length of internal structure (Please preserve it.) Review: GREAT daily use pen - I CCV have had several pilot capless pens and there are two classes of them. They are are the listed as callers and retractable. The retractable shave the higher end nib which are smooth as butter. These nibs are steel with a gold coating and are as smooth as margarine. They write well on most kinds of paper and are a little stiffer but not that much. Otherwise they are pretty much the same as the more expensive version. Comes with lots of paper that is written in Chinese so was pretty much useless to me I used Noodler’s inks as I write a lot on documents that have to be permanent, and tamper proof . Perfect pen for a daily user that won’t break your heart is someone walks with it. Review: The perfect EDC Fountain Pen - I prefer buying fountain pens and ink from small retailers. However, this Japanese exclusive is one of the exceptions. I wanted a retractable fountain pen and due to the EDC nature wanted the steel nib version. I’m a huge Pilot fan and love their fine nibs. This pen does not disappoint! It is a bit of a dry writer, which is not surprising with a small nib in fine. The notoriously barnacle making Diamine Ancient Copper was too dry, but other inks have worked well, especially the wet Diamine scented Pick Me Up is great in it. I haven’t tried any shimmer inks and probably won’t. ## Features - Visitor from future - innovation and stylish - Characteristics brightness and moderate weight of brass. And moderate thickness of axis. - A kind of standard "Capless" model…? - Nib is special alloy - cheerful but authentic writing touch - Packaged in an elegant gift box with 1 black ink cartridge.

However, this Japanese exclusive is one of the exceptions. I wanted a retractable fountain pen and due to the EDC nature wanted the steel nib version. I’m a huge Pilot fan and love their fine nibs. This pen does not disappoint! It is a bit of a dry writer, which is not surprising with a small nib in fine.

It wrote exceptionally well with the included Pilot Black cartridge. It's fine and dry enough that you can write on cheap paper (eg. Mead notebooks, checks, etc) without feathering or spreading like crazy. The nib is pretty smooth (especially with a wet, lubricated ink), but not as smooth as a Vanishing Point with a gold nib (which is also a little broader and much wetter). I use my VP with a gold nib at work where I use Black 'n Red notepads with decent paper, and carry this steel nibbed VP at home and running errands where paper quality will vary. After I used up the included cartridge, I slapped in a CON-50 and I've been using bottled inks since. You have to purchase a CON-40, CON-50 or CON-20 converter separately as this pen doesn't come with a converter (unlike the gold-nib VPs that come with a CON-40). ## Frequently Bought Together - PILOT "Capless (special alloy nib) / Dark Blue" [nib: Fine] - Pilot Fountain Pen Ink Converter Screw Type (CON-40) - PILOT Namiki IC100 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges, Blue, 12-Pack (69101) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/17769873-pilot-capless-special-alloy-nib-dark-blue-nib-fine](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/17769873-pilot-capless-special-alloy-nib-dark-blue-nib-fine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
