The Pilot Custom 845 Black is a fountain pen that elevates the ancient Japanese art of Urushi lacquering to its finest expression. Its body is crafted from ebonite, a material long prized for its pleasant warmth in the hand, its subtle dampening of writing vibration, and its exceptional affinity with Urushi lacquer. That lacquer is applied using the Roiro technique: a refined artisanal method in which the surface is hand-polished after each cured layer and then worked with the finest raw Urushi to fill even the smallest micro-grooves. On the Custom 845, this demanding process is repeated three times, resulting in a black of almost unfathomable depth and a mirror-like brilliance that only grows more beautiful over time as the lacquer is polished by the warmth of your hands.
The two-tone 18-karat gold nib, size #15, is partially plated with rhodium for a delicate silver accent on the yellow gold. This large nib delivers a rich, wet ink flow with a slightly springy, buttery-smooth writing motion that is the hallmark of Pilot's finest instruments. The screw-on cap seals hermetically to keep the nib from drying out, and the inside of the cap is lined with a soft material that protects the Urushi lacquer when the cap is posted. Despite its generous proportions, the pen is surprisingly light at just 27 grams with cap.
The Custom 845 comes standard with the CON-70 vacuum converter, holding 1.1 ml of ink, making it compatible with any bottled fountain pen ink. Pilot IC-50 cartridges are also optionally compatible. The pen is presented in an elegant paulownia wood gift box, the traditional Japanese kiri wood case that perfectly reflects the exclusivity of this writing instrument.
