Pilot Vanishing Point - Blue Matte

The Pilot Vanishing Point in Blue Matte is the fountain pen for stop-and-start notes: click, write, click, done. No cap to unthread, no cap to post, no ceremony when the useful thing is catching a thought before it disappears. The matte blue body and black accents give it a modern, functional presence without making the pen feel flashy.

Pilot's Vanishing Point is one of the truly iconic fountain pen designs. The retractable 18k gold nib slips back into the body when not in use, protected and ready, which makes this one of the most convenient everyday fountain pens ever made. It belongs in meetings, journals, forms, margin notes, and the kind of desk work where a capped pen would constantly interrupt you.

A fair warning, because it matters: the clip sits at the writing grip, between your thumb and index finger. Many writers find that natural; some never get along with it. If the clip works for your hand, the Vanishing Point is hard to beat: beautiful, practical, and always ready to write.
