Custom and Custom Heritage

Since 1918, PILOT has set the standard for high quality, Japanese-made fountain pens and nibs designed to serve for generations, and the CUSTOM series is the embodiment of this storied history.

The Story behind PILOT's World-Renowned Fountain Pens

In 1918, PILOT manufactured the first made-entirely-in-Japan fountain pen, from the nib to the barrel.
Since then, we have been committed to the complete production of all parts, with in-house integrated manufacturing—from the metal alloys that form the raw materials for our nibs to final finishing. This craftsmanship lives on in our range of Prestige fountain pens, where tradition and innovation meet in every detail.

The Heart of Writing

Each PILOT CUSTOM fountain pen is crafted with precision. Hand-polished nibs ensure durability and a final sharpening brings out the perfect balance of smoothness and precision.

With 15 nib types, our CUSTOM range accommodates various writing styles, offering the ideal softness and bounce for Japanese nuances like Tome (stops), Hane (upward strokes) and Harai (sweeping lines). Made from 14 and 18 carat gold alloys, these nibs combine flexibility and strength for a natural, effortless writing experience.
