Pilot Fountain Pen Custom Heritage 912, Black Body, SU-Nib

Lovely pen with an excellent nib. I found the stub nib a little sharp at the edges, but quickly fixed this with a nail buffer.

Produit excellent. La plume fontaine Pilot custom Héritage 912 avec pointe stub est superbe. C’est devenu une de mes plumes favorite.

912 stub(su) is my favorite writer by far! But it's too good for me and I'm scared to mess it up (more than double the cost of any other pen I've purchased). While i don't have reference to other ultra premium pens it was my 7th italic nibbed pen. Bought in December 2016 and it's running beautifully today. If you want it i say pull trigger, I swoon every time i see it. if you're browsing for a good italic I'd say look towards the twsbi line their stub nib is killer and won't break the bank.

After a few months of using this pen Looks: This pen is amazing, and looks and feels premium Smoothness & Nib: this is the only pilot nib which i have found to be slightly scratch out of the box (probably because it’s untitled), however with a bit of micro mesh it was fine. Additionally the nib provides decent line variation, and can easily be used for all types of writing. However note that this is not a very sharp stub (like the one you find on the pilot metropolitan) Ink flow: on the fair side, in the video I am using it with pilots Yama budo, which is a wet ink, and I find that the flow is balanced. + comes with a con 70 convertor

Outstanding pen. One of the best deals out there.
