Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen Gift Set - Black - 14k Gold
Available for 
& 
The Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen gift set comes with a Pilot Gift Box, a Use and Care Guide and a 70 ml Pilot fountain pen ink in black colour.
Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen is one of Pilot’s flagship fountain pens. This pen combines classic styling with a touch of modernity. The amber body colour and gold trim are part of the classic look and the transparent demonstrator creates a feeling of modernity. It also features a 14k gold nib and an innovative vacuum filling system.
Thanks to the vacuum filling system, the Custom 823 holds more ink than the standard cartridge and is a breeze to fill. Simply unscrew and pull out the plunger, dip the nib up to the neck in your ink and depress the plunger. The ink is drawn up into the pen under vacuum pressure as you push the plunger into the pen body. To keep the ink where it should be, the pen has a built-in valve. When the plunger knob is fully tightened, it seals off the ink reservoir. This means that in order to write, you need to loosen the plunger knob to allow ink to flow to the nib. The knob only needs to come out 2 mm from the body.
The pen is slightly longer than most fountain pens, making it comfortable in the hand uncapped. The body is remarkably well-balanced no matter when it is capped or not capped.
*Please do not try to unscrew the grip section. It is not meant to unscrew and may crack.

AustraliaNot often are high expectations met, let alone exceeded… but that’s exactly what the Pilot Custom 823 does!
AustraliaI did a lot of reading about this product before I committed to buying it. I was very excited to get my hands on one after I read all the positive reviews, with most people reporting an excellent writing experience. I got off to a pretty rocky start with the pen though. I had significant issues with hard starts and skipping which made the pen almost unusable. However, customer service really made the difference as they troubleshooted the issue. Simply flushing the pen with some warm water with dishwashing liquid seems to have fixed the issue. This is now one of my favourite pens in my collection. It writes beautifully, the ink volume is fantastic, the pen looks far more distinctive in person than the photos and videos were able to convey. Overall very happy with my Pilot Custom 823 and would buy again, even with the troublesome beginning.
AustraliaExcellent... I was a bit worried about online ordering of this fairly expensive pen albeit from pilot authorised retailer, but it was well packed and the box arrived without any damage. Pilot has really perfected the custom 823 in how it should feel and write. All my pilot pens are fine nib including this one, and is smooth and excellent for daily note taking and journalling. Waterman inks work very well and is free flowing and easy cleaning compared to pigmented inks and great value affordable at 8 bucks per 50ml. It's a regular staple for my pilot fountain pens. Seller has been great, haven't had any issues so far. I would recommend this pen and the seller. Would be good to discount these pens time to time like other retailers it would encourage buyers.
AustraliaGreat pen. Smooth and easy to use with no gaps or scratching.
AustraliaI chose the pen after watching many You Tube reviews. It is truly a Grail pen probably the only pen you need. It fits perfectly in your hand, the gold nib glides over the paper perfect for long writing stints. I normaly go for F chose M nib in order to get more flex
AustraliaI really like it. Well package and fast delivery. Great writing experience with it. But I think I need to get the medium nib rather than the fine nib,
