The Pilot Vanishing Point is a classic fountain pen for a reason: it's a design that's been looking modern (and functioning well) for over 60 years. The Vanishing Point (VP for short) holds a unique place in the fountain pen world, since it has a nib that retracts with a click, just like a retractable ballpoint. That means it's incredibly quick to deploy for notes, labeling, and any kind of one-handed writing where a traditional screw cap would get in the way.
