Pilot Custom Urushi

[Mulrich]

I really like the 845 vermillion but for some reason this doesnt appeal as much to me and I like the black more.

Amazing photos! Thanks for sharing that. Something about all those nibs lined up

The vermilion is much stunning in person than in picture. I chose M nib this time, but I am afraid I will pick up another black B someday.

I'm roughly 120 hours into this fountain pen hobby, have 1 pen in hand ($12 Metropolitan) with 3 bottles of Iroshizuku, and 2 more pens on the way (most recently a smoke Custom 823). Now I find this Vermillion Custom on Rakuten and I'm trying to hold back. Same dang thing happened with my camera equipment and watch hobbies. Son of a gun. Luckily I'm nervous about buying through Rakuten where the translated page is still barely understandable. It may be my only saving grace.

Very interesting! I always thought that the 845 would not be coated with Urushi.

Kinda urushi. The end caps, section and cap lip are just resin without urushi coating.

I know the section isn't (it's obviously plastic, due to the seam), and sort of expected the end caps (due to the nature), but the cap lip? You mean the part below the band?

Yup.
