"CUSTOM 823 - Plunger Type/Transparent Brown" (nib : Fine)

Super lekkere vulpen, met grote capaciteit inkt.

Received the product as described. Works straight out of the box.. the smoothest pen I have.

Since I first got into fountain pens several years ago, the Pilot Custom 823 has always been on my radar. I have seen countless videos and blog posts calling it a “grail” pen and comparing it to pens like the Pelikan M1000 or even Montblanc models. While those comparisons may be a bit exaggerated, I can confidently say this pen lives up to its reputation in its own right. The Custom 823 is an absolute pleasure to write with, hold, and even just look at. The transparent brown body is beautiful and refined, and the overall build feels thoughtful and well balanced. The medium nib is smooth and consistent, laying down a generous, controlled line of ink that makes long writing sessions effortless. Despite being a vacuum filler with a large ink capacity, this is the pen I end up refilling the most, simply because I cannot stop using it. This may sound overly enthusiastic, but if you have been in the fountain pen hobby for a while and have the budget for it, I genuinely think this pen is worth experiencing. It is a standout piece that feels special every time you pick it up.

I took the plunge and ordered this "much highly spoken" about fountain pen - Pilot Custom 823. When compared to the Sailor 1911 Large 21K nib, this Pilot nib is smoother. It has a unique feeling to it. One of my fav pens is the Pelikan M800... but I think this nib gives it a good run - head to head in my opinion. Fully recommended. About the shipping experience: The seller used Japan post service - full tracking available. No issue for shipping to Singapore. Pen came in a sealed bag (as shown in picture). I just had to flush the pen with water a couple of times, dry it. Then inked it with Pilot iroshizuku ink (tsuki-yo). It writes beautifully out of the box, no issues whatsoever. The shading is mouth watering, in my opinion, considering that this is a fine Japanese nib. After writing with it a day or so, I can understand all the hype about this pen in the internet. No regrets getting this pen. Only sad thing is that, I foresee my other pens might get a little less lovin from me ......

Parfait je suis très satisfait du service :) Le stylo plume est à la hauteur de sa réputation
