Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pens Reviews

What a beauty. In looks and in function. The clip is indeed not in the way and in fact helps (as do Lamy Safaris) with the proper alignment of the pen to the paper. I got the extra fine nib. I writes for me very similar to a 0.3 mm Penstix a little wider than a 003 Micron....if that helps at all. This is my first good Pilot (gold nib). Have a Platinum 3776 which I also like, but having to unscrew the cap has me not using it as often. Am loving the click it. So easy for that quick note.

Beautiful pen and incredibly smooth

Awesome pen. My EDC pen. Fine writes like a 0.2 pen I'd say. Perfect for everyday notes in calendar and notebooks. I refill the cartridge since the converter is a joke: one drop of ink. DeAtramentis Document ink works like a charm.

This is my favorite writer. It's quite juicy.

The Navy/Blue Decimo is an elegant and high-quality pen. I like the size more than the standard Capless/VP and the retractable functionality is really satisfying. The two downsides I'd call out, and these are minor, are the converter and the nib. The converter doesn't hold much ink and it's best filled with a syringe. And the Fine nib on mine had very tight tines that I needed to loosen up to get adequate ink flow. Beyond those small points, though, it's lovely.

I love my Pilot Decimo. This is my first really nice fountain pen, and it's worth the investment. It fits my hand perfectly, is beautiful to look at, and is a joy to write with. I appreciate the help I got from Pen Chalet customer service when I had some questions about which pen to buy. I didn't want to get a pen that was too big for my hand, and Lainey helped me make the perfect choice. I highly recommend this pen and Pen Chalet.

Decimos are my ride or die, my babies, my most loved and most used pens. I have tried the VP but no the Decimo is my true love. Over the last 2 years, I have tried most of the popular fountain pens from but this is hands down the best pen. I own all the current US colors so I’m just waiting for more color releases at this point.

I will say, I am a fan of the extra fine, fine mainly. The medium is too broad for a medium for me. The stub is also lovely.

Also I wish pilot would create better converters. It writes and works without a issue but filling pilot converters is a PAIN.

I bought this as an experiment because I wanted a retractable pen and the Pilot capless pens (both Decimo and Vanishing Point) receive such good reviews. I have to admit that I didn’t like the appearance which is what kept me from ordering one for so long. I’m so glad I did! This is a highly versatile pen — easy to use, and featuring interchangeable nib units so that you can have any nib width you want from fine to stub (yes, I now have them all!). Between the Decimo (slimmer version) and the Vanishing Point, there are a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from, including the beautiful make-e/raden finishes on the Vanishing Point. I now have two VPs and one Decimo and have saving my pennies to order the raden version.

Pilot Capless Decimo is slimmer, lighter version of Capless line of Pilot. It has as great NIB as all the other Capless, as they are compatible to each other. Slim line is elegant combining with metalish colors. It's unique model in any office room grab the attention of the colleauges...

Great fountain pen.
