The expert’s opinion: to say that this fountain pen is an exceptional object is an understatement. What is perhaps a little surprising at first is its size – imposing – as well as its diameter, which makes it much more suitable for a man, especially as its weight is far from negligible. Everything about this pen is impressive: first of all its design, then its colour and of course its superb two-tone nib which, borrowed from Namiki, plays its role with almost diabolic precision. As for the Urushi lacquer, it is sublimated thanks to the black colour that will be found at the top as well as at the base of the barrel and the cap, thus generating a most sumptuous contrast. The red lacquer will shine through with its timeless, luxurious classicism. The pen of a lifetime.

Custom Urushi Red Fountain pen by Pilot – the ultimate for writing enthusiasts

The Custom Urushi is without doubt one of Pilot‘s most beautiful pens. Made on an ebonite base, the barrel and cap have been carefully coated with the famous Urushi lacquer, using the Roiro lacquering technique, a speciality of the maki-e (Kokkokai school) craftsmen in Japan, thus sublimating the object. This lacquer, which comes exclusively from the sap of the Japanese varnish tree (an Asian tree), has been used for thousands of years as a protection once it has been applied to objects and dried.

Thus it has this incredible ability to resist corrosion, scratches and even impacts. This type of fountain pen therefore has an exceptional lifespan which can easily extend over several generations. The colour of this lacquer varies according to its exposure to light, generating incomparable shades, brilliance and shine. Many coats are necessary to achieve such a result, but also a considerable investment of time, since each coat will require a drying time that can vary from 3 to 7 days. Depending on the number of layers, which can be up to 20, long weeks and often several months are needed to create such a piece to which a meticulous finishing work must not be forgotten.

The Custom Urushi, imposing in size, is equipped with gold-plated trims. On its cap, several rings of the most beautiful effect have been placed, including a central ring on which the name of the model has been carefully engraved in black.

The nib:

A magnificent two-tone nib in 18-carat gold No. 30 borrowed from Namiki has been chosen for a unique writing experience. It is available in four sizes: F, MF, M and B.

Un contact humain et chaleureux avant l’achat, avec des conseils éclairés, sans qu’à aucun moment je n’ai la sensation que l’on cherchait à me vendre quelque chose. Et à réception un emballage parfait, accompagné d’un petit mot écrit à la main. Bon sang mais cette boutique est parfaite !

La Fondatrice de la boutique en ligne NIBS PLUS ULTRA est tellement passionnée par les stylos-plume que son désir de nous partager cet amour ne nous laisse pas indifférent. D'ailleurs, cela se ressent à travers l'ensemble du site. En navigant sur nibs-plus-ultra.com nous comprenons rapidement que pour cette entreprise, le client est sa priorité. Cette équipe d'experts excelle à tous les niveaux : que ce soit dans le choix des stylos-plume (pour les novices et les collectionneurs), de l'accueil et du service, du conseil et de la livraison. Tout est plus que parfait.

J'ai découvert le site de Nibs Plus Ultra en faisant des recherches sur la disponibilité d'un flacon d'encre Pilot en particulier. Je ne l'ai trouvé disponible que chez NPU. Une fois la commande passée, le flacon est arrivé en Belgique quelques jours plus tard. L'emballage était parfaitement adapté à l'envoi et au produit. Il était accompagné d'un petit mot pour faire connaissance. Service excellent.
