Pilot Custom 845 Vermilion Red GT Fountain Pen - 18Kt Gold Nib

The Custom 845 is the newest series to launch in the Custom line of fountain pens. The Pilot Custom 845 Vermillion Red is the smaller version of the Pilot Custom Urushi fountain pen. The Custom 845 is extremely popular worldwide because of its unique Urushi lacquer finish, two-toned 18k gold nib (size #15) and large barrel size. A Pilot Con-70 converter is included, but you can also use proprietary Pilot ink cartridges if you prefer. This exceptional Custom fountain pen is packaged in an elegant gift box. Urushi lacquer comes from the sap of the Asian lacquer tree. When applied to the pen barrel, it hardens and absorbs moisture from the air, resulting in a shiny coat. Creating an Urushi lacquer fountain pen is an exacting and complex process because the lacquer must be carefully applied to the pen barrel in numerous hand painted layers. This traditional Japanese technique ultimately enhances both the pens’ beauty and longevity.
