Incoming!! Pilot Vanishing point red birch
Picked this up directly from Japan. It’s marketed as a red bamboo capless Pilot. We might know it better as a vanishing point. It’s made of an infused, stained red birch. I got a great deal on one and I absolutely love it! I can’t believe I waited so long to pick one up! I have a Visconti Pininfarina carbon graphite capless but it would perpetually dry out. The Pilot seems like a much better designed mechanism. I’m even using a Pilot cartridge. Not even needing to prime the feed short of a dip in Pilot ama-iro to start the feed. It’s one of those pens I don’t want to put down. I’m even paying bills early just to write with it! Good pen day! Another thing to note is that Pilot even made a point of aligning the wood grain between the two halves of the pen as best as they could. Very good!

Thanks Guys! As I understand it, the first gen pens were faceted. Putting it on my list once the job status gets better
