The Pilot Custom 823 Black Smoke pairs the legendary vacuum-filling system of the 823 line with a dark, smoky transparent barrel that's more dramatic than the amber version but equally functional. You can still monitor your ink level through the tinted resin, and the 14k gold nib delivers the same smooth, consistent performance the 823 is known for. Includes a bottle of Pilot ink.

Best pen for the money

Bought on a whim before the price increase and on recommendation. Upon inking this pen until just before this review I can honestly say it is one of the smoothest writing, flowing, and reliable pens I own. It ranks at the top of the list and the price puts in the β€œbuy it now” category against many higher priced pens. The clear body shows the exact amount of ink you have and the aesthetics make it appear more pricey than it is. If I had one complaint it is having to release the pressure to keep it flowing on longer writing sessions, but it is a trivial complaint for the quality.
