website description:

The newest addition to the Vanishing Point Limited Edition collection is called Black Links. The gorgeous black barrel of this exceptional fountain pen features a rich polished Guilloche pattern that has a unique, sumptuous texture. This intricate pattern of lines on barrel is created using the classic engine turning process known as Guilloche, and can only be fully appreciated when holding this work of art in your hand.

The history of engine turned patterns dates back as far as the 1500s, and this delicate design technique is still cherished by both collectors and skilled craftsman. The Guilloche technique began in 18th Century France, and the method has been reverently handed down from generation to generation.

The 2020 Limited Edition Pilot Vanishing Point Black Links is truly the next generation and reprises many of the noteworthy elements of the 2016 Guilloche Limited Edition Vanishing Point. The look of Black Links is enhanced with the addition of striking matte black accents and an 18kt gold black ion coated nib. This stealthy, stunning and striking fountain pen features visual and tactile elements designed to stimulate your senses and inspire your next written masterpiece.

The Pilot Vanishing Point 2020 Limited Edition Black Links Fountain Pen comes standard with a black ion coated 18k gold nib.

daiso fountain pen

[update on 20 Oct 20 : the ink they provided is permanent, at least for the red. i had used the ink in other pens and found it to be less satisfactory, after which i suspect the ink may not be just dye-based. a water test proved that it is water proof.]

Daiso recently (meaning Aug 2020) released another set of fountain pens, in the 4 colors below. at first glance, they look familiar. not just china pens, but something quite familiar.

it looks similar to the itoya disposable fountain pen! same cap length, same type of nib, same inner cap.oh, the feed is wick type, not the usual feed. it will be a problem to clean.
