Pilot makes quality ink. It flows so smoothly from my pens. Kon-peki is a beautiful color. This makes my second Pilot Iroshizuku ink. I also own Asa-Gao.

Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Cartridge (6pk)
Wow, so so happy that they now have these available. I get to test the colors in many different pens and nib sizes without making a commitment. In this particular case I loved the color wherever I used it and am now ready to commit to a bottle that I know I will one day finish.

Pilot Vanishing Point Collection
You can buy this pen almost anywhere but I chose to purchase this pen and others from Pen Chalet because of the service sometimes free stickers and attention to details. I also like buying within the USA. I’m happy with my pen and I’m happy where I purchased it. Thank you.

Pilot Limited Edition Vanishing Point
So happy with this year’s color that I bought 3. One for me and two as gifts. Not only did Pen Chalet have what I needed they were able to get it to me quickly. I’m a big fan of the V.P. so no surprise with the writing quality at this point. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Pilot E95S
I used this as a Christmas gift for someone. These Pilot E95S with their 14K gold nibs write just wonderfully. Best bargain for a gold nibbed fountain pen on the market... maybe. Their only "negative" is they don't hold much ink using a CON40 converter, which is understandable, seeing there isn't much room for a converter. If you can fine one, a CON-B squeeze converter hold double the amount of ink, but it more old school and hard to find I think. Using Pilot's preparatory ink cartridges hold more than a CON40, but not as much as a CON-B. Great fountain pen and easy to wear with a std pocket shirt.

Pilot Iro-Utsushi
I use dip pens most often when swatching inks - a quick way to nab a bit of color and do a few lines of writing without fully inking a pen. I have a preference for Japanese pens and nibs, enjoying the smooth action and finer lines, so I decided to try these. I have the clear in M and the black wood in F. They are the tiniest bit wide around the grip but my hands are small. Otherwise they are remarkable writers, very enjoyable to use, easy to clean, and high quality. The wood one is especially pleasing to the eye.

Pilot Custom 823 Collection
I love Pilot pens and this beauty has captured my heart. I love the nib and flow. The ink capacity as an EDC would last me over 2 weeks. After filling if you screw the piston all the way in you’ll run dry quickly because you’ve sealed off the ink from the section, so this would be helpful with rapidly changing barometric pressure. But if you leave the piston cap pulled back a little bit the nib remains wet and I can write immediately even with the pen unused for (so far) two weeks.

Videos and pictures can't catch the true beautiful color of this pen. The 14 K nib Pilot's quality makes to me one of my five perfect fountain pens. I want to thank Pen Chalet for the quality of their YouTube videos, their customer service, website pages pictures and shipping.

Pilot Kakuno
I got a clear Pilot Kakuno, and it's a great writer. I can see why a lot of people like this as an entry pen. It's affordable and writes wonderfully. The pen is made of resin/plastic, but its body feels solid, perhaps because of its hexagonal barrel. There's no clip for this pen, which I enjoy. It gives it a unique shape, which feels very cohesive and on-brand, what with the emoticon on both the nib and the branding. This pen seems to fill any need for a fun, perhaps even quirky, pen that's still extremely reliable and doesn't break the bank. (And if the lack of a clip is a deal-breaker, you might consider ordering a pen clip separately. I know that a bunch of people do this.)
Finally, a huge selling point is that it accepts the CON-70 converter, allowing for massive amounts of ink for those afraid of making it an eyedropper pen. (People like me. Because I'm clumsy and accident-prone.) There's a lot to appreciate about the Kakuno.

- Pilot Kakuno VS Platinum Preppy (for anyone trying to decide between the two) -
Between this and the standard Platinum Preppy (which I also got so I could try the two), I prefer the Kakuno. Its body feels sturdier, to the point where I'd even be willing to put this in my pen pouch whereas I'd fear that my Preppy would break and leak. Both EF nibs produce wonderfully thin lines that suit my small handwriting, but the Kakuno's EF nib writes thinner by just a hair and pushes it ahead by that much. All that and the fact that it's compatible with the CON-70 converter makes the Kakuno my preference, even if the Preppy wins in the price category.

Pilot Falcon
Years ago I used to buy cheap Scheaffer pens at the drug store and put in lever-operated converters so I could fill them from a bottle. More recently my oldest son took up handwriting as an academic study and he converted me to the Falcon pen. I like the smooth, controllable nib and the screw-type ink cylinder. I like that it clips to my shirt pocket pretty firmly.

Pilot Capless Decimo
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.

Pilot Kakuno
I absolutely love these. I have over 200 pens, but gotta have a couple of these. I much prefer over a Preppy. Great performance and a great starter pen. Nibs run smaller than typical and use proprietary cartridges. Make sure you have a converter or 2. To me the are more of a staple than “a Fun” pen, but still a must have.

Pilot Iroshizuku Sample(4ml)
Purchased several samples of this ink, and all of them are appealing (Grain of Rice, Bamboo Forest, and Rigor of Winter) These seem to be wetter inks, which I like, although they can spread depending on the grain and texture of your paper. Nice even colors with subtle shade. Pretty consistent behavior, very enjoyable to use.

Pilot IC-50(6pk) Cartridge
These are the cartridges I use when traveling for my Pilot Metro style pens. The ink is first quality, although since the size is not standard, the functionality is limited to the proprietary design. More colors would be nice. All of the colors are nice, although the purple is too lilac for me. All these inks perform very well, and for the price these are an excellent value.
