Pilot The Largest

[abosco56]

Hi friends,

 

I like large pens, like MB 149.

 

So, I am willing to buy my first Japanese pen.

 

After some research on Platinum, Sailor sizes there was no problem. But about Pilot, I couldn´t find out a large model.

 

Please could you help me about what is the largest Pilot fountain pen?

 

Regards

Under the Pilot brand it is the Custom 845. Under the Namiki brand, look for the Emperor, it will dwarf the poor 149.

Hi Hari,

 

Nice to hear from you, it´s been a wile since last time I was around at FPN. I bought a windsor from you.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

Warm Regards.

Hi Bosco, nice to see you again. The Lincoln is holding up well? still using it sometimes?

 

You can read some reviews of the custom 845, it is a superb pen IMO.

Like hari said above, but the plain black Urushi Emperor has PILOT engraved instead of Namiki on the clip, and no cap rings. Eyedropper filler only.

 

Should you want more modern fillers (more practical) also consider Sailor KOP, or Platinum izumo. Search for hari's excellent review on the Platinum.

The Custom 845 is a very large pen, yet feels good in the hand. Even posted, it's not uncomfortable to write with. And there's something special about the urushi finish that would have anyone not aware of it why it feels more luxurious than typical plastic or precious resin.
