Lovely, lovely pen! The description of the colour as "purple" doesn't do it justice: it's more like a metallic lavender, which suits me to a tee. Also, the gold nib is softly flexible and a dream to write with! The vanishing point feature, of course, is what drew me initially to this pen. I'm going to get spoiled not having to deal with a cap. Feels solid, too. This one and my Pilot Metropolitan stub nib pen are my 1 & 2 go-to pens.

The pen itself is great, I do not own a full size vanishing point but based on my pen body, I picked correctly for me.
The only issue I had was that I purchased a medium based on the Pen Chalet Nib Helper, which said a Pilot Medium is analogue to a Lamy Fine.
When I received and started using my Medium Decimo, I came to find that it is definitely a medium, and not remotely close to a German Fine! That was a bit disappointing as I have now used it too much and cannot return it for a fine, and the replacement nib is half the price of a new pen itself.

I love my Champagne Decimo. Japanese EF nibs are the best EF nibs. I also love the functionality of the retractable nib. So convenient.

My second Pilot retractable fountain pen. The Decimo fits the hand just a bit better than the slightly larger cousin. Nicely convenient for the shirt pocket and a simple pen for casual use. Nice feel in the hand, filling is easy and quick, convertor system is interchangeable, nib does a great job. Always seems to get a stare in meetings when I pull this out. In other words, with this pen you can help spread FPV to others. And that is truly our mission is it not? ;) Be an ambassador and use a Decimo!

I prefer the Decimo over the standard VP because of its smaller size. The F nib writes smoother than I expected and now I'm tempted to try the Decimo in an EF. I like the springiness of this nib. It lets you know you're writing with a fountain pen.

I'm disappointed whit my Pilot Decimo. Normally a Japanese medium nib is closer to a Western fine, so knowing this I order my pen in a medium nib size. Much to my surprise, it really is a medium and maybe closer to a broad size! I could order a new nib but that would be almost the cost of a new pen. So be advised, the Pilot Decimo medium nib really is a medium! Other wise, it's is a beautiful, well made pen and works as advertised.

I have a vanishing point and got this because I love the color. Never occurred to me I would notice the thinner barrel as well. The color is lovely, the thinner barrel is great (and I think I have pretty normal-sized hands) and as usual, the Pen Chalet customer service and speed of shipping only added to my enjoyment of this pen.

I love this pen! I am one of those people that holds their pen weird, so the clip does bother me during long writing sessions and makes it more difficult to keep the nib in the "sweet spot", but the nib makes up for all of that! I have the fine nib and it is so smooth and writes so nice-I really just love it!

FAQs about the Pilot Capless Decimo
Q:
I want to use iroshizuku ink with the Pilor Capless Decimo. Which convertor would I use and how do I refill with a convertor?A:
With the Pilot Capless Decimo, you would use a Pilot Con-40 Converter. Here is a link to that product:Filling a converter is a pretty simple process. Here is a link to a page with our video explaining how to fill a converter.

Pilot Capless Decimo Video
Video Script
This is the Pilot Capless Decimo fountain pen. It comes in a black cardboard box, you can see the Pilot logo on the top of the box lid, with a clear transparent lid so you can see the pen inside. Spring-loaded lid, lifts open, and of course, we have the Pilot Capless Decimo fountain pen.This is a vanishing point fountain pen. It's a click action. You simply press the button at the end and the nib extends. It's a capless pen, so there's no cap to remove, just the nib comes out a little hole there in the front of the pen. You can see that slide in and out as I press the button.
A little different, the clip is on the writing end of the pen. You can see the "Decimo" engraved on that chrome clip. It has a double chrome band here at the center of the pen. One of those bands is a little thicker than the other, "Pilot Japan" engraved on the back side. And a chrome ring at the top with that chrome push button.
This is a cartridge converter style pen. To change the ink, you unscrew the cap from the barrel of the pen, and included with the pen is an ink converter for using bottled inks. You can also use the Pilot IC50 or IC100 ink cartridges, and one of those is included. It's under the false bottom of the box.
I really like the Pilot vanishing point pens and I'm excited about the new Pilot Capless Decimo fountain pen. Get yours today at PenChalet.com!
