Released in March of 2010, this is a very limited edition Custom 823 Fountain pen. With only 100 sets (pen, special box and special ink) available, these pens will not be around for long.

Pilot Custom 823 Smoke Demonstrator Founatin Pen

This is the least clear of the "demonstrators." The cap and barrel are almost obscure, except for a view of the piston and ink reservoir which can be best seen when held up to light.

Pilot Custom 823 Smoke Demonstrator Uncapped

Beautifully balanced and with an amazing ink capacity (2.2ml), this pen is both attractive and practical.

PIlot Custom 823 Smoke Demonstrator Piston

The piston system, first seen in regular production in Sheaffer's pens of the 1930's, is strong and robust. The stainless rod is much more heavy duty than anything Sheaffer's made.

The instruction tag on the back of the cap lets you know that in order to write, you must unscrew the blind cap at the end of the barrel about 2mm. (under 1/8 inch). The good news is when screwed down, the plunger gets in the way of ink entering the section, closing off the ink flow when not in use.

Pilot Custom 823 Smoke Demonstrator Nib Detail

The Custom 823 is available with a solid 14K firm Fine, Medium, or Broad nib. These tip sizes are typical of the Japanese widths, almost a full size finer than the European equivalent sizes.

If you would like, we can customize this nib to an extra-fine point, or turn the Medium into a very fine stub, italic, or oblique tip. Also, because it is 14K gold and springy, we can make this nib more flexible. This customization is for those with a careful hand.

This pen is limited to 100 sets in the US market, and comes with a bottle of Pilot's high-end Iroshizuku ink and a beautiful sateen-lined presentation box.

We will soon be sold out and not able to get more.
