Forgot What A Great Pen This Is...

[CessnaNYC]

Had my Pilot Vanishing Point stored for the past few years using pens that will get me thrown off the FPN forums should they become public. The VP is a blue carbonesque with a Binderized needle point nib (XX Fine).

 

What an amazing pen. I know much has been written about them here and there's really nothing else I can add but it's just a great pen. Glides nicely with just the right amount of ink. I use it to jot quick notes onto index cards I carry. Also enjoy the looks I get whenever I pull it out. It's a conservative looking pen that's stylish enough to say "Hey, look at me!"

I've yet to try one. They're rare over here. Aesthetically they're not my cup of tea, but I've heard so many positive stories about them that I'm eager to try one.

I should get mine out again, too. I've recently seen the Lamy Dialog 3 but was disappointed by the nib, which looks clunky in comparison to the Pilot VP.

that's a hypodermic needle!

They may not be pretty, but the convenience and quality won me over. Bought a second one a week later.

I like my Decimo well enough (and I special ordered a light grey one through someone I knew who had contacts in Japan), but it doesn't seem to hold a lot of ink. I can't tell if it's not getting a good fill or if it's drying out too fast. If I don't use it pretty much daily (and even sometimes overnight) it will stop writing. And I've been running Kon-peki through it recently after a brief fling with Yama-budo when I first got the pen the end of January (just because, well, Yama-budo ).

hmm

 

not my experience with mine (very reliable for the duration of the fill). I just use the cartridge and fill it with a syringe.

The Decimo can only use the CON-40 which store a lesser amount of ink so that might be the case.
