Hoping someone here can help, because I've done enough google searching to kill a horse trying to find this pen. I remember seeing a dark green Pilot Custom with a metallic fleck / sparkle finish quite a while back, but now I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Don't remember which particular model of Custom it was, but I do think it was a cigar-shaped pen. I seem to remember it was produced specially for a particular retailer and it came with a pouch of some kind. Does anybody know the pen I'm talking about? Any help would be appreciated.

I bought mine at Itoya a year ago. The Green pouch, I believe IS specific to this pen. They have a similar pen in a purple also with a matching case. I have seen both it multiple locations in Tokyo.

And thanks, Tinjapan-- I think you're right that the dark green case was specific to the pen.

Stopped by Itoya and both of Maruzen's mega stores near Tokyo station today. All three were sold out. One may still turn up at smaller stores if they carried them originally. Department stores too may be a good place to look.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
