The Pilot Custom 74 is as classic as it gets with its screw cap and cigar-shaped body. It’s a no-frills pen that still offers a lot of options for creativity with its variety of colors and designs. Best of all, it has a wide range of nibs to choose from—including music nibs—which makes it a reliable workhorse at a good price. 

It’s a great “level up” pen for beginners looking to go deeper into the proverbial fountain pen rabbit hole. We have for sale a brand new blue Pilot Custom 74 with gold-colored trims. It carries an M nib and comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions. 

Length capped: 14.3 cm.
