Writing with a Pilot pen feels considered. Every line carries calm control, shaped by decades of Japanese craftsmanship that values patience and quiet mastery. They reveal themselves slowly, through the balance in your hand, the calm flow of ink and the way each word settles onto the page with certainty.

At William Penn, the Pilot pen collection is a tribute to Japanese writing culture, where patience, discipline and attention to detail shape every object meant to last. These are pens for those who write often, think deeply and value the feel of a well made tool doing exactly what it should.

Our Pilot Pen Collection

The Pilot pen category at William Penn brings together some of the most respected fountain pens and writing accessories from Japan. These are instruments designed for writers who notice details, the softness of a nib, the weight of the barrel, the way ink settles on paper.

The collection spans everyday writers, advanced nib systems and collector-grade pens, each created with care and purpose.

Fountain Pens

Pilot is best known for its fountain pens and this range showcases why. Models like the Custom 74, Custom 743 and Elite E95S offer controlled ink flow, balanced silhouettes and nibs shaped for long writing sessions. These pens suit journaling, correspondence and professional note-taking, where comfort matters as much as appearance.

The Custom Urushi Fountain Pen, finished in deep black lacquer, stands as a statement piece. It reflects centuries-old Japanese urushi techniques, making it as much an heirloom as a writing instrument.

Capless & Retractable Pens

Pilot's Capless series rethinks how a fountain pen fits into modern life. With a push button mechanism and a concealed nib, these pens move easily between meetings, travel and daily planning. The Kasuri Blue and Kasuri Black editions pair contemporary design with the ritual of fountain pen writing.

Soft & Adjustable Nibs

For writers who enjoy expression in their strokes, Pilot offers the Falcon and Justus 95 fountain pens. The Falcon's soft nib responds to pressure, lending character to handwriting. The Justus 95 allows users to adjust nib firmness, an uncommon feature that speaks to Pilot's deep understanding of writing preferences.

Inks & Accessories

No writing experience is complete without ink. Pilot's Iroshizuku ink bottles, in shades like Hydrangea, Deep Sea and Old Man Winter are inspired by nature and seasons. These inks flow smoothly, making them suitable companions for any Pilot fountain pen. Converters and accessories complete the writing setup, allowing writers to personalise how they fill and care for their pens.

Design, Materials and Craft

Pilot pens favour thoughtful proportions and clean lines. Resin barrels feel smooth without slipping, trims are measured rather than ornamental and nibs are shaped with precision. Each component reflects a design language rooted in Japanese aesthetics, where purpose guides beauty.

Behind every nib lies careful tuning, ensuring consistency across fine and medium points. This attention to detail makes Pilot pens reliable companions for those who write often and expect their tools to keep pace.

Where Pilot Pens Belong

A Pilot pen fits naturally into everyday life. It rests on office desks, travels inside notebook sleeves and becomes part of personal writing rituals. These pens are chosen by professionals, academics and writers who value steadiness over spectacle.

As gifts, Pilot pens carry quiet meaning. They mark graduations, promotions and personal milestones. With engraving available on select models, a Pilot pen becomes a lasting reminder of a moment worth remembering.

Made for the Words That Matter

A Pilot pen doesn't ask to be noticed. It earns its place through balance, reliability and the way it keeps pace with your thoughts. Over time, it becomes familiar in the best way, something you reach for without thinking, trusting it to be there for every idea, note and signature that matters.

At William Penn, the Pilot pen collection is curated for those who believe writing deserves care and calm attention. If you're ready to choose a pen shaped by tradition and meant to be used every day, now is the moment.
