The Pilot Custom 845 Black Urushi fountain pen brings together Japanese urushi lacquerwork and Pilot's flagship 18k gold nib in a refined, full-size writer. Its deep, glassy black finish and balanced silhouette signal quiet confidence, while the pen's precision and consistency make it a dependable choice for serious writing.

Craftsmanship and Design

Built on an ebonite body and finished with traditional urushi lacquer, the Custom 845 presents a rich, uniform black with a natural depth that only urushi can achieve. Gold-plated trim, a tapered clip, and a broad cap band underscore the pen's classic profile without distracting from the lacquer's luster. The screw-on cap closes with a reassuring seal, and the overall proportions suit extended sessions at the desk as well as purposeful note-taking.

Pilot's attention to detail is evident in the clean finishing, precise fit between cap and barrel, and the way the lacquer meets each trim piece. The result is a pen that looks composed from every angle and feels solid in the hand without unnecessary weight.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Custom 845 is Pilot's No. 15 18k gold nib, renowned among enthusiasts for its smoothness, consistency, and subtle responsiveness. It glides with a controlled, even flow that suits daily writing and long-form journaling. While not a flex nib, it offers a gentle spring that brings a touch of character without sacrificing line stability.

Available in fine, medium, and broad, the nib selection covers precise annotation through expressive signatures. Ink delivery is reliable across a range of papers, supported by Pilot's proven feed and cartridge/converter system. Use proprietary Pilot cartridges for convenience or a converter for bottled inks and easy color changes.

Brand Heritage

Since 1918, Pilot has shaped modern Japanese penmaking with exacting engineering and a deep respect for traditional craft. The Custom 845 draws on that lineage, pairing contemporary reliability with the urushi expertise that also informs Pilot's Namiki artistry. The result is a pen built for everyday excellence with materials and finishes that age with quiet grace.
