About Vanishing Point
The Vanishing Point—also known as Capless—is the world’s first and most beloved retractable fountain pen. Recognized for its ingenious click-to-retract mechanism, this revolutionary design protects the nib when not in use, ensuring effortless convenience without sacrificing performance. The 18-karat gold nib delivers a smooth, precise writing experience, making the Vanishing Point a must-have for fountain pen enthusiasts.
A Natural Evolution of the Vanishing Point Collection
Pilot is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to the Vanishing Point collection—the Birchwood Vanishing Point. Available in Black Birchwood and Red Birchwood, these exquisite retractable fountain pens feature rhodium-plated accents and nibs, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation. Each pen is fitted with an 18-karat gold, rhodium-plated nib, available in Fine (F) or Medium (M) sizes.
Why Birchwood?
Birchwood was carefully selected for its elegant grain patterns, smooth texture, and comfortable grip. This premium material enhances the writing experience with its natural warmth while offering a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional metal or resin finishes.
While wood is naturally prone to absorbing moisture, dimensional changes, and machining challenges, Pilot has overcome these limitations through an advanced resin-infusion process. This enhances the wood’s durability and stability, allowing for precise craftsmanship while preserving the organic beauty of the grain.
From a manufacturing perspective, birchwood offers a unique advantage – it can be made thinner than other woods while still retaining strength. This allows for the creation of delicate components, like finely cut screw threads, that would be difficult to achieve with other types of wood. Even so, working with resin-infusion birchwood remains more complex than machining traditional metals or plastics, making each Birchwood Vanishing Point a testament to Pilot’s technical expertise and meticulous craftsmanship.
