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 Pen! Excellent Service! Excellent Source for Pens!

Emy & Team, I am so pleased with my new Pilot Custom Urushi! I have been shopping around for awhile and thought for the longest time that this pen was out of my reach. Emy, your pricing was so competitive that the pen was now a possibility for me. I bought it and was delighted that it arrived at my door, all the way from Romania in just 6 days. That fulfillment time was quicker than many US-based stores. I appreciated the personal note as well. The pen is a writing dream and I would like to express a sincere "Thank You" to Emy and his Team and encourage anyone looking for a fine writing instrument to look no further than Pen Venture!

Great Nib and Fantastic Service

I’ve had my eye on the Pilot Urushi since I decided to try the 845 in Black. I don’t tend to enjoy Pilot nibs but the BB on my 845 was PERFECTLY tuned by Emy and so I loved it.

I had the ability to pull the trigger on the Broad and it is gorgeous! It’s big, juicy, wet, and SMOOTH. Just like the 845, the Urushi feels warm and soft.

My only “complaint” is that the cap lacks a felt interior to prevent damage while posting like the 845 which I thought was odd.

It’s a great pen and love writing with it. I have it inked with Taccia Benizakura and it pairs nicely. Next on will be KWZ Grapefruit!

Leonardo - MZG 2.0 The art of Guilloche | Torchon (Verdigris)
Marion Poliquin
A magnificent writer

This Momento Zero Grande 2.0 is very comfortable comfortable in the hand. The Guilloche pattern is very tactile and pleasant to the touch. The cap threads are the smoothest I've ever seen in a resin body. I believe this may be thanks to the particular resin that what used for this collection. The stainless steel nib is the juiciest I've ever seen in a pen right out of the box.

This MZG 2.0 is smaller than my regular MZG. I don't know if this is always the case or if this is particular to this Guilloche collection.

Leonardo hasn't let me down once yet.

Gravitas - Monster No. 8 Nib Unit | Silver - Black PvD
Adrian Graham
The best #8 replacement broad steel nib available

This is the best replacement #8 broad steel nib you can buy. As expected the service from Pen Venrure was very professional. The nib was nicely packed in a protective plastic case and inside a cardboard box. And a speedy service. I would not hesitate to recommend this broad nib, and Pen Venture for its excellent service.

Fifty4T - Titan Full Titanium
CK
Exactly what a flagship pen should be

I absolutely love this pen. The Fifty4T Titan Full Titanium has the bold, industrial character that makes a writing instrument feel genuinely special. The raw Grade 5 titanium, transparent barrel, oversized steel No. 8 Medium nib, and ingenious Titan filling system come together beautifully. It has tremendous presence, yet the design remains purposeful and refined rather than flashy for its own sake. The nib is a joy to use and feels perfectly matched to the scale and character of the pen. This is the kind of pen that makes me want to pick it up every time I see it.
The presentation was excellent as well. The briefcase-style case looks fantastic and is useful enough that I plan to reuse it for other pens. Emy and the Pen Venture team handled my order with exceptional care and personal attention, making the entire purchase feel special from beginning to end.
This has quickly become one of my favorite pens. I would recommend both the Fifty4T Titan and Pen Venture without hesitation.

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!
