We’ve just received our latest shipment of Pilot Custom Urushi pens – the Pilot Custom Urushi Black Barrel and the Pilot Custom Urushi Vermilion Barrel. These hand-finished urushi pens are in their own way every bit the equal of the Emperor and Yukari Royale urushi pens offered by Pilot sister company Namiki, and are also an excellent alternative now that those Namiki urushi pens are heavily on back order well into next year.

The Pilot Custom Urushi is offered with your choice of Pilot #30 18k solid gold nib – see John’s blog post about these pens for his insights into the special qualities of these nibs. We have just a small number of Custom Urushi pens currently in stock, with no indication as to when more will be available. Retail $1400, our price $1120.
