PILOT Custom 743 Fountain Pen (14ct Gold Nib, CON-70) - Black - Signature Nib
This is the PILOT Custom 743, but fitted with the Signature nib
The Pilot Signature nib is similar to a Music nib, that is, slightly narrower on the cross-stroke than the down-stroke. The big differnece though is that the Signature nib doesn't have the hard edges of the music nib meaning the angle of the pen isn't as crucial and the therefore very smooth. With this asymetry comes expressive lines, something you don't get from a regular BB rounded nib.
Why choose this nib? This pen is for those who like a smooth, broad, wet and expressive nib. The Pilot signature nib is also a great nib to use with shading ink as the extra ink flow allows the ink to show its variation.
Best used with PILOT Iroshizuku ink as this is a high flow ink that will keep up with the ink supply needed for the wider line.
Comes with CON-70 converter. Also compatible with Con-50 converters plus the PILOT IC-50 cartridges.
