Urushi pens are prized not just for their gorgeous finish, but also for their durability. Cured lacquer, especially high-quality urushi, is resistant to water and heat and even to acids and alkalis. When properly crafted, this material can last centuries, and thus pens with this finish are considered heirloom-worthy. 

The Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion fountain pen is a great example of superb craftsmanship. Its bright red color only gets better as years go by. It carries a large-sized, no. 30, 18-karat gold nib, offering great ink flow and a satisfying bounce with every letter you write. 

We have for sale a brand new Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion with an FM nib for sale. It comes complete with its box and papers.
