While there are many brands offering fountain pens with retractable nibs, very few can come close to Pilot and its genius shutter mechanism that not only protects the nib, but also keeps the ink from drying out. For almost half a century, Pilot has perfected its one-knock nib retraction technology, and in 1998, it released the Vanishing Point we’re familiar with today, made of brass and resin, and paired with an 18-karat gold nib. 

If this is your first time considering such a pen, then we’ve got you covered. We have for sale a pre-owned Pilot Vanishing Point Black with gold trims and an 18-karat gold nib in F (retractable). We’re offering only the pen, no box or papers. 

Length retracted: 14 cm.
