Namiki Falcon Resin Fountain Pen

Namiki Falcon Resin Fountain Pen

The Namiki Falcon Resin is both a terrific everyday writer, as well as an excellent lower-cost introduction to quality fountain pens. With its soft semi-flexible 14k nib, it is also, along with the Metal Falcon series or any Nakaya brand pen, one of the best starting points for John's well-known Spencerian customization - see the examples at the bottom of this page.

The Falcon Resin weighs 18.3 grams and measures 5.25 inches in length. The provided converter allows it to be filled with any bottled fountain pen ink, and it can also use Pilot brand cartridges. For a similar pen with even more ink capacity, see the Pilot Metal Falcon.

Pilot-Namiki has a well-deserved reputation for creating high quality pens which are also very attractively priced. And for those who love semi-flexible nibs, the Falcon Resin and Metal Falcon series pens offer the most flex of any contemporary fountain pen.

The Namiki Falcon Resin is available with your choice of 14k sold gold nib in Soft Fine, Soft Medium, or Soft Broad. Retail price: $180.00 Our price: $144.00

Additional nib units are easily swappable at home. Retail price for individual nib units is $100, with our price $80.00

The Falcon Resin is one of the most popular pens for customizations. Nibs can be modified for additional flex ($65), or for regrinds to Left Oblique or Cursive Italic ($55). It is also, along with the Metal Falcon series and Nakaya brand pens, one of the most popular pens for John's Spencerian customization ($110). See our Nib Customizations page for more details.

Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships. See our nib set-up and optimization page for more details.
