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.

First Leonardo Momento Zero

Its a exquisite pen to use.

Fantastic Pen!

I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.

Excellent service, fast delivery and great customer care. Thank you for the kind handwritten note.

Superbly built and balanced

A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).

Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!

It's the best!!
