Pilot Capless Decimo

[Penache]

Just got my Blue Decimo with M nib. It is so smooth and feels so much better in my hand than the regular VP. It has a very sleek look and the click mechanism is great. So sweet of my husband to get it for me, along with the Prera, for my birthday.

That Decimo is a beautiful pen... it looks to me like a modern version of the Capless faceted model, in terms of size and weight. Funny... when putting it side by side with the predecessor VP, the older model looks rather fat and "blimpy". But... I find that when using the VP that this imagery soon fades--it is a great pen on its own. Pilot really did a splendid job with this nib assembly design. The nibs have a nice amount of spring to them that "cushion the ride" without feeling sloppy.

That's true Myu, there is just enough spring to the assembly for comfort and yet it feels very solid and stable in the hand. It seems to be weighted just right. The VP felt a little too heavy but the Decimo is comfortable to write with.

I am considering getting a finer nib as the medium writes much wider than I am used to. I was wondering if that might be the fault of the pilot ink though, since it seems to flow very readily and even feather slightly. Anyone had a similar issue?

I bought my VP in fine, and it definitely writes that way with either Noodler's Legal Lapis or Bulletproof Black. It's still my favorite pen.
