Description

For centuries, the art of urushi lacquering has been used in Japan. The sap of the Japanese lacquer tree is extracted and outgoing through an extended process to become urushi lacquer.

The Pilot Custom Urushi embodies this ancient technique, being crafted from Japanese ebonite and meticulously lacquered in order to have a unique, smooth and deep colour finish.

Similar to their renowned Namiki pens, Pilot employs the refined lacquering technique called Roiro, which demands substantial time and skill to achieve the mirror finish of the Custom Urushi.

The manufacturing process of each pen takes several months due to the intricate application of Urushi lacquer. It is applied onto the ebonite base and left to dry for several days before being polished and coated with a new layer of lacquer. This meticulous process continues until the pen is completed.

The Custom Urushi is a king-size pen available in two color options: black and vermilion red. This marvellous writing instrument comes equipped with one of the most regarded nibs from Pilot - the size 30 dual tone 18k gold nib.

This exquisite writing instrument is delivered in an exclusive gift box and comes with a CON-70 vacuum piston converter or can be used with Pilot IC cartridges.

Excellent

Very interesting pen, well balanced and with a clip that helps to carry in the jacket pocket. Excellent article

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING

If you want heavy-duty protection for your pens without the maintenance or bulk of leather, this case delivers everything you need in a sleek, robust, incredible functional design. Highly recommended!
