The Pilot Custom 823 is an exceptional fountain pen designed for writers who appreciate refined craftsmanship, generous ink capacity, and a smooth writing experience. Its translucent Smoke Grey resin body offers a subtle view of the ink inside while giving the pen a sophisticated and distinctive appearance.
At the heart of the Custom 823 is a premium 14K gold nib, complemented by elegant gold-plated trim. The nib delivers the smooth, controlled writing experience expected from Pilot's Custom series, making the pen an excellent choice for both everyday writing and longer writing sessions.
One of its standout features is the vacuum filling system. This mechanism allows the pen to hold an impressive 2.55ml of bottled fountain pen ink, significantly more than many conventional fountain pens. The transparent barrel also makes it easy to keep track of the remaining ink level.
With its balanced resin construction, classic screw-cap design, and understated Japanese styling, the Pilot Custom 823 combines functionality with timeless elegance.
Each pen is presented in a silver satin-lined Pilot gift box and includes a 70ml bottle of Pilot Black fountain pen ink, making it an excellent choice for personal use, collecting, or gifting.
