Pilot Fountain Pen Vanishing Point Raden Galaxy NEW!
The Pilot Vanishing Point Raden Galaxy is one of the most visually stunning fountain pens in the world. Its body is adorned with hand-cut, multi-color abalone shell fragments — a traditional Japanese decorative art known as Raden — set beneath a lacquered finish that shimmers with an otherworldly, galaxy-like depth. Beneath that beauty lies the iconic Vanishing Point mechanism: a spring-loaded, retractable 18k gold nib that deploys with a single click, making it as practical as it is breathtaking. Filled via a proprietary cartridge/converter system, the Vanishing Point is a pen you can carry and use every day without compromise.
