Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen - Clear

Glad I finally bought it

I had put off buying this pen for years. I thought it was over-hyped, not so impressed by my other Pilot pens, yada, yada, yada...so I bought other brands that claimed to be as good. The others weren't bad, but none of them had Pilot's gold nib. That is the magic. Add to that the Japanese precision fine nib and you have and unbeatable all-purposeEDC that just feels better than any other similar pens I've tried.

Buy this pen! You won't be sorry.

I am very happy with this pen. The fine nib is perfect for me; did my first extended writing session yesterday...I didn't quite have the knob at the tail of the pen open enough at first, so the ink flow stopped...now I know.

This was my grail pen and I lost it. Convinced myself I could live without it but turned out -- no. It's a fabulous writer, holds a boatload of ink and I'm 100% team demonstrator. So my daily carry returns to happiness. Still hope that the original returns someday.
