Brilliant design and ingenious engineering combine in the refined, elegant style of the world’s first and favorite retractable fountain pen, the Vanishing Point by Pilot. The internal mechanism of this exceptionally crafted fountain pen allows the 18-karat gold nib to retract fully into the barrel when not in use. The Pilot Vanishing Point is refillable for continued use with a cartridge or Pilot’s CON-40 converter.
The black matte Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen with matte black trim comes standard with a black-plated 18k gold nib in EF, F, M, B or Stub widths. Alternatively, the black-plated nib can be swapped for an 18k yellow gold nib (F, M, or B) or an 18k gold rhodium-plated nib (EF, F, M, B, or Factory Stub), at no additional charge.
Includes one cartridge and CON-40 twist converter.

Take the Vanishing Point, an already fantastic pen, have it adjusted to your preferences then have The Nibsmith grind a japanese fine nib into a cursive italic and what do you have?
MAGIC. That’s what you have.
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The nib is exactly tuned to my preference and the cursive italic is smooth with good line variation. It’s seriously impressive that Dan can do all this on such a tiny nib. After this first experience, i’ll let everybody know that if Dan sells a pen I am interested in, i’m not going anywhere else. The total for the pen, shipping and grind was ~170. That’s a steal considering his price is nearly equal to grey market price.
Well done, you’ve got a solid return customer.

Love the pen. The matte texture is a pleasure to hold, the sound of the click is so satisfying, weight and balance is perfect, and I have yet to experience any hard starts.
But what really sealed the deal is the fantastic service from Dan. The pen is is already amazing but coupled with his nib grinding expertise took it to another level. I had my broad ground to an architect and I am so pleased with how it turned out. Smooth and angled perfectly to my writing style. There was a small delay, but Dan was very informative and upfront about it. Excellent customer service. I will be buying from him again.
