Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen - Matte Black

I spent a year or 2 thinking about whether or not I need this pen in my collection, and I finally bought it a few months ago with a fine nib. And it's become my daily driver since then! The fine gold nib is fine enough that you could write on almost any paper without feathering and it's still a wet, smooth nib (I've used a few different Pilot Iroshizuku inks so far). The retracting mechanism is very satisfying and robust, and the great thing is that it does not dry if you don't use it for a while. This was something that I was concerned about when choosing the vanishing point, but so far it has started very smoothly every single time, even when sitting on my desk unused for 2 weeks. Overall I love this pen :)

This is my second review but I have been testing this for two months on the airplane and if I could manage to take it on the plane daily with pressurization and various altitudes. Not only sleek and sexy this pen is practical for my airline paperwork in the cabin and have not had one mishap! 10/10 … but then it is a PILOT :). Have to carry an extra vial of ink but I write a lot I’m so obsessed with this fountain pen. Worth every penny!

I decided a Christmas treat was in order for myself and the reviews rave about this pen… they were not wrong! This surpasses my other pens by far! The super smooth writing and practical tip …. I understand why everyone was raving! I am mad I waited so long! You will not be disappointed! 10/10

I saw this pen years ago and thought “yeah! That is the pen for me!” Stealthy, understated, Goth. Now that I have it (that is a story in itself-originally ordered it from a different Canadian company who sat on my money for months), I can’t inagine what I did for years without it. Convenient, amazing nib, gorgeous, and a great flow. Currently using it with Diamine Solstice ink with a medium nib and have never been happier with a pen.

Wonderpens is a fantastic company and if I ever get out of the seething cesspool that is Alberta, I would love to come and drain my savings account in their store! The only complaint is the capacity of the converter. Minor point, given all of the positives. Get one. If you are thinking about it, just get it. If I had done that after I first saw it, I would have saved myself a bundle on other pens.

I bought a VP pen because of its convenience as I was planning for it to be my default everyday carry pen.
The smoothness really takes me off guard! It's such a wonderful writer! Best pen out of my current collection by far!
It is also very well made and the trap door really keeps the nib wet and ready to go at all times.
The Con40 converter is good but takes a few tries to get used to how to operate it properly.
Love the matte black finish, it's not a fingerprint magnet at all.
I want more Vanishing Point!
