The Pilot Capless Matte Black fountain has the perfect combination of luxury and technology. It houses a mechanism of rare precision, which allows the nib to retract into the barrel when not in use. Available in 18K gold with ion plating (black nib), black matte barrel and body, or 18K gold with rhodium-plated (silver nib), black matte barrel, and rhodium accent. It comes in a gift box, with a Pilot Converter-40 inside the pen and a black ink cartridge.
