PILOT"CUSTOM 845" (nib : Fine)

All items came in pristine condition within a decent mail pouch. The merchant had added an additional layer of corrugated cardboard protection to the pen's outermost container, a white box made of a thick and dense cardboard. The box had a textured finish that was both pleasing and elegant. Within this white box was what I had hoped for but had not expected, the unfinished and precisely made wood presentation box with a simple lid and with a red velvet cloth lining. Oh joy. I have always had a thing for nice sturdy boxes, and this box had the grain of the wood naturally arranged. Excellent.Safely contained in the box and carpeted by the red velvet was the Pilot Custom 845 Urushi, one ink cartridge, one Con70 converter, certificates, instructions in Japanese and English, and the serial number tag. All items were restrained and protected by the velvet and a fitted layer of foam to prevent movement.I have made a number of Oak and Cherry boxes for gifts, and this box is just like some of the ones I made many years ago as a container for Christmas gifts. The Pilot 845 presentation box's precision is impressive. It feels like a gift.I really like this Custom 845 Urushi fountain pen with the <F> nib. In my hand it feels like the start of a good friendship. The pen responds to me: I love your paper. Let me guide you. Let's tell a story. You only need the weight of the pen on the paper. It likes paper that other pens find sticky or grabby. Clairefontaine Triomphe is a very good paper for this pen. The 845 is not for everyone and vice versa. The Custom 845 Urushi fountain pen is a very fine and considerable writing instrument.The Con70 converter which was installed in the pen is an easy converter to use. I can use extra converters for other colors.

No damage to pen and it arrived 2-3 weeks before it was supposed to.The pen itself is amazing, the Urushi has a very warm and interesting feel. I got this pen because it is the cheapest Urushi pen you can buy to the best of my knowledge. Nib is very large and unique, soft, but deffinetly not a flex nib.Very good right out of the box absolutely no adjustments or damage.

Perfectly balanced and smooth fountain pen. Seller was responsive and really profesional.

Pilot does not disappoint. This pen writes like a dream. Huge nib. Good heft to the pen. One of my favorite pens.

It is very nice pen I ever own. Nice and comfort .It worth for your money.

Simply put, this is the best pen I have ever used. I'm sure there are better writing pens. But for the money? Amazing.
