The Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen - Black brings together oversized Japanese design, an ebonite core finished in deep urushi lacquer, and one of Pilot's most commanding 18k gold nibs. Its silhouette is purposeful and refined, with a mirror-black luster that reveals the quiet depth only hand-applied urushi can achieve. For writers who appreciate substance in the hand and an effortless line on the page, this is a flagship expression of Pilot's craft.

Craftsmanship & Design

Shaped from warm, lightweight ebonite and finished with multiple layers of black urushi, the Custom Urushi invites close inspection. The lacquer is applied and polished in Japan to a high gloss that accentuates the pen's clean lines and gentle curvature. Gold-finished trim provides a measured contrast, while the broad cap band and classic clip add heritage cues without distraction. It is a large pen by intent, yet the balance and tactile comfort of the lacquered section keep it approachable for long sessions.

Urushi is valued not only for its depth and glow, but also for its durability. Over time, the finish develops a subtle presence that reflects careful use rather than wear. The screw-cap closure is deliberate and secure, with threads that engage smoothly and a cap that seals well to preserve ink and nib readiness between writings.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Custom Urushi is Pilot's No. 30 18k gold nib, a rare attribute in modern production pens. Tuned for consistent flow and understated control, it lays down a confident line with a hint of responsive spring rather than overt flex. The generous feed keeps pace during faster notes and sweeping signatures alike. Available in Medium-Fine, Medium, and Broad, each width showcases the nib's hallmark smoothness while maintaining the precision for which Pilot is known.

The pen uses Pilot's proprietary cartridge-converter system and is compatible with the high-capacity Con-70 converter. This pairing suits the nib's appetite for consistent ink delivery and offers practical flexibility for those who rotate colors or travel. In hand, the lacquered section provides gentle traction, and the overall weight remains comfortable despite the pen's commanding size.

Heritage & Provenance

Pilot has been shaping the language of Japanese fountain pens since 1918, with urushi work forming a throughline from early Namiki artistry to contemporary flagships. The Custom Urushi sits where daily usability meets traditional finishing, honoring historic techniques while embracing modern reliability. It is a pen made to be written with, yet it carries the quiet culture of Japanese lacquer to every desk it graces.

A Stylish and Functional Addition to My Décor!
Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I recently purchased the ZHEM Valet Tray for Men in Dark Gray, and I couldn't be happier with this product. It's become an indispensable part of my daily routine and home décor. The design and craftsmanship of this tray are outstanding. The dark gray color is elegant and complements my furniture perfectly. It's not just a valet tray; it's also a decorative piece that adds a touch of sophistication to my nightstand and dresser. The size (8x8x1.75 inches) is ideal for holding my daily essentials like my watch, perfume, keys, and even napkins. I appreciate the versatility - it serves as a decorative piece, an organizer, and a functional tray all in one! The quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. It's also easy to clean, which is a big plus. Overall, the Tray has exceeded my expectations. It's a stylish and functional addition to my décor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and attractive tray for their home. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super cute landing space for keys
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I always have trouble finding my keys and so it’s been very helpful to have a dedicated spot to easily throw them in when I get home. At first I thought it would be too big but it’s the perfect size for two wallets and keys, and it’s good quality albeit a bit expensive. The gold isn’t too shiny either, it’s a nice touch and it really reduces the look of clutter on your surfaces and helps it look more organized. It also doesn’t slip around.
