Pilot Vanishing Point Raden
Greg says this pen looks like it's speckled with bits of the Orion Nebula.

It reminds me of the Abalone inlaid Sheaffer's pens of the 1930's.   Of course, this is not the first iridescent pen that Pilot-Namiki has made. Their Nightline Moonlight pen is inlaid with abalone shells as well.

The rich hand-lacquered finish makes the particles of abalone sparkle.

The Raden Fountain Pen is available with a Fine, Medium and Broad nib. The broad nib can be customized to a wonderful cursive italic or oblique italic. This adds $55 to the cost of this pen. Extra nib units with converters are available for only $30.00. ($85.00 customized)

Retail: $365.00 Ours: $292.00

"As for the V.P....this one is simply magical. Full disclosure requires me to confess that, despite everything I have read, I was just a wee bit skeptical about how well a retractable fountain pen could really work. Well, it lives up to its advertising and then some. This pen is an exceptional piece of engineering and design. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, so smoothly and effortlessly that it's actually hard to believe, even when holding it in your hand. But as impressed as I am by the basic pen (a lot!), I am stunned by the nib. As you know, this pen represents my first baby step into the world of custom nibs, and all I can say -- to myself, I mean -- is, "what the #@%@# were you waiting for??" The Medium stub nib -- in my hand at least -- feels just as smooth as a standard factory nib, and the line variation it produces is gorgeous. It makes my fairly lousy handwriting suddenly look about 200% better. I'm hooked!... David" (7/27/04)
