Some light deterioration can be seen on the tip of the section (a common characteristic found on many units due to the molding process).
There are also some band-like scratches on the section, slight wear on the clip tip, and minor scuffs and small scratches overall, but the pen is generally in good condition.

This is a classic and highly practical fountain pen, known for its excellent cost performance.
It features a unique Extra Fine nib.
The pen beautifully produces the traditional Japanese writing elements of tome (stop), hane (hook), and harai (sweep).
It enables expressive, nuanced handwriting, making Japanese characters especially elegant.

The Falcon nib has a distinctive shape with both sides deeply cut to create exceptional flexibility.
With a light touch, the nib bends softly and provides beautiful line variation and shading—an extraordinary writing experience unlike ordinary fountain pens.
Although capable of line variation based on writing pressure, the Falcon nib is actually recommended for those with a light writing touch.
It allows you to express subtle nuances effortlessly and is suitable for long writing sessions.

Its brush-like writing feel makes it particularly well-suited for vertical Japanese writing.
This is one of PILOT’s finest creations—an excellent pen to add to your daily writing lineup.

Truly one of Japan’s remarkable inventions in fountain pen design. Highly recommended.
