Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Fountain Pens Reviews

A collector's Item!! Japanese perfection at it's best. Writes like a dream!

It’s a really good pen! Writes smoothly, too. I like the slight flex of the nib. I am glad I spent the money to have a dependable pen.

Pilot is a pen giant with first rate products. Their pens are elegant, beautifully made, and functional works of art. They really are tastefully designed to perfection. Never a skip or hard start. I have three Custom 912’s and they never disappoint. My go to pens.

I’m a lefty so I bought the Waverly nib. Excellent writer with no skipping of ink. Really nice addition to my collection. Zero regrets

Arrived quickly and as described. It’s a Pilot. What else really more can I say. They’re always excellent pens. The FA nib has some nice flex to but like all, don’t flex it too much or you’ll spring the tines on the nib. I have nothing but praise for Pen Chalet and they also have excellent Social Media interaction.

I got mine with the flex nib. This nib gives a pretty big line variation, which is awesome. I just wish the feed would keep up. Thankfully there are options to replace the feed with an ebonite version with extra grooves to improve ink flow. Other than that, this is probably my favorite pen that I own. I love the style, the quality is fantastic, and it's extremely comfortable.

I absolutely love this pen! I purchased mine with the Waverly nib being a left handed writer, and I really think it helps.
I find this pen to be my most comfortable pen to write with.

The look of this pen to me is very classy. I compare the style of this pen to a tuxedo.

This is a delight of a pen and has rekindled my interest in flexible nibs. Honestly, I had gravitated towards stubs and cursive italics instead, having given up on finding any decent modern flexes that were NOT on dip pens. I had also tried a Pilot Falcon with a flexy nib and that was not a gratifying experience. But this? This was glorious.

Early years as a journalist, madly taking notes to capture conversations and scenes, totally ruined my handwriting. I recently undertook to improve my handwriting, and promised myself a fine pen if I stuck with it - nothing haughty, but a fine pen. This has been the reward - the Custom 912, with a "stub" nib that smoothly renders a really crisp, clear and flowing italic style. "Stub" nibs are not widely known and I encourage you to check that category, they provide elegant and clarity without being difficult or overwrought. Pen Chalet was the perfect connection, with great selection, and tracking down the model from the maker at a good price and arranging speedy shipment. Loving this pen. Thank you!

classic styled fountain, gold nib, excellent price
