I really love the pen, I had it for a month but didn't buy it from Goulet Pens. The mechanism works as if it was new but the only problem is that the 'glossy' coating wears off, I got many scratches. I think that this will be a problem in the following years. The pen could become really damaged.

Great customer service and shipped fast. Pen was good condition bought it as a gift for graduation.

Have been searching for a true extra fine nib for years - don't know why it took me so long to find this beauty! Maybe it was the fear that handling with the clip wouldn't be comfortable but it is no issue whatsoever. Paired with Pilot asa-gao blue ink and it is heaven!

Great pen fun to you. Great writer have no complaints. If you are looking for a good pan or a great pan look no further than pilot.

Pen is amazingly smooth. The ability to just click the nib in and out is perfect for the vast majority of my writing. Have yet to have a dry nib.
Everything is perfect with the pen for me. Try one out if you haven’t, yet! It’s a keeper.

This pen has been recommended in several Goulet Pen videos. I finally overcame concerns about the odd configuration of the clip, trusted the Goulet Pen advice, and purchased it. I am so glad I did. It is a great writing experience. The grip is surprisingly natural and comfortable. Also, the legendary Goulet Pen customer service is real and second to none. The only unanswered question is, "What do I buy next?"

I've thought about getting one of these for a while, but have been hesitant primarily out of concern that the placement of the clip might be uncomfortable. I've been very impressed with the quality of the material and smoothness/performance of the nib. I have also not had much problem with the clip.

He loved it. Unique pen, great price.

The extra fine nib I got took a minute to break in, but now it's just to my liking. A thin line with feedback. The click makes this pen so convenient and easy to use. Quick tip, yes you can use a bulb syringe with the nib unit!

Finally a pen that's super fine but doesn't write like a rusted needle

First of all, i bought from Goulet to support a small business that makes a large business contribution to the community. My pen arrived early. I got this pen because it has a metal body and i wanted a daily driver so i could protect my nice pens from all the wear. It will do that. I was not expecting a pen that wrote so beautifully. Crisp clean lines, plenty of ink to keep up with my speedy writing. Good enough line variation from the settings nib. Don't think i could be happier. Fight the good fight Goulet!

I use the Vanishing Point for ease of access, rather than unscrewing the cap. That said, I'm still adjusting to the angle of the nib in relation to the pocket clip. I'm also comparing the pen to my Pilot Falcon which is my favorite everyday pen because of the more flexible nib. The Vanishing Point puts down more ink than I expected for a narrow nib and is a positive for me. I fill the cartridge with a syringe for a little more ink rather than use the smaller Con 40. Over all, I'm glad I brought the pen.

The shipping was fast the staff very friendly but my pen was leaking didn't want to send it back cause I liked it a lot so opt to buy a fine nib assembly pen is good now

This is a very beautiful pen. I ordered the medium nib as I was scared the fine would be too thin. To my surprise, the medium nib writes more like a broad compared to my other pens. Furthermore, the gold nib is superb. I've never written with such a springy, soft (not for flexing) nib before. Not to mention, it is the smoothest nib in my collection. Overall, I'm very pleased with this pen. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in this pen

Fabulosa. Un cl�sico indispensable para cualquier aficionado a las estilogr�ficas. Pero adem�s, es una pluma para el uso diario, para acompa�arte a todas partes. Para disfrutar de ella en la mano. Elegante, precisa, funcional,... Perfecta.

This was my first 'proper' fountain pen, and it's an absolute joy to write with and use. I got the fine nib which is extremely smooth, and the retractable action is incredibly satisfying and very well done. I'm totally getting another one in a different color!

The item is one of the best pens I've ever used. Writes smoothly.

After having owned a Sailor fountain pen (my first 100+ USD pen) which I love. I finally bought the Vanishing Point Fountain Pen. In short: it's a great pen. I like it when a fountain pen is a bit 'wet' and the ink flows easily and that is exactly what this pen does. The click mechanism works like a charm and it makes notetaking during classes and meetings so much easier. The only downside of this pen is the small capacity of the converter. Sometimes have to refill it after two days, but for normal day-to-day use you can probably get more days out of this pen. With the standard disposable pilot cartridges, the pen lasts much longer. So, I recommend that if you write a lot like I do.All in all a great pen.

really cool look, smart design and very practical pen. the nib has a very scratchy feedback but write very nice.

I love this Pen !! Its my favorite...

So far, this is an excellent pen. It is very high quality. Mine is the stub nib option. It's a great pen for jotting short notes intermittently. There's no cap to remove and replace. A little experimentation with refilling the converter makes it easy to get a full fill, and a decent amount of ink. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy a vanishing point. It has better utility than I imagined it would. It seems built to last.Stub nib has nice distinctive lines if you like to write using block printing. It works for cursive, but it is less distinctive with cursive.

This is the third of three Pilot Vanishing points I use daily, different nibs for different purposes. These are the most convenient pens made, rock-solid quality. I just love them!!

I like the look, feel and weight of the Pilot VP. The nib is a little scratchy but writes well on quality paper. The con40 converter doesn't allow for a large ink capacity so it's not great for writing multiple pages and some might find it inconvenient to fill. I personally think it's therapeutic to disassemble and fill the pen so I don't mind the little extra and more frequent work. That being said, if you like your nib unit to be squeaky clean after filling, you may find this pen a little frustrating. I use mine to take short notes at work. Replacement nibs are easy to find and come in a variety of sizes through Goulet Pens but replacement barrels are not available... anywhere. I'm still waiting to hear back from Pilot if they sell just the barrel without the nib unit how're Im not optimistic. This pen comes in beautiful bold colors and several distinct finishes. If Pilot ever makes one in real carbon fiber, I'll be quick to buy it! Overall, i'm Happy with this purchase and think the price is quite reasonable for what you're getting.

I was very pleased with the experience I had with the Decimo in F and the Black/Gold with a M nib, so I decided to take the plunge with a 1.0mm stub with the Black/Rhodium VP. It's now one of my favorite pens. The nib has some spring to it, and just the right amount of line variation. Writing on Tomoe River paper with Noodler's Bay State Blue ink is quite an experience.

I bought this pen for myself with high school graduation money. I did a lot of research and picked this as my next level pen. After using this for a few months already in college lectures, I can say it was probably the best purchase I've made. The clicking action is great while taking notes so I don't have to keep capping and uncapping to keep my nib from drying out between taking notes. The feel in the hand is amazing; I thought the clip would get in the way, but it actually improved my grip and handwriting! I wasn't ready for the gold nib because this is nothing like I've ever used. It is the smoothest to write with and I love writing actual notes in class.Overall: Great pen. I would recommend it to anybody and everybody

One day I thought to myself, you know I sure wish there was clickable fountain pen, I love how fountain pens write but they're just not practical usually for continuous use And with a quick google search I found they did exist! I typically use this pen for either sketching as I practice architecture or for note taking with customers as I moonlight as a salesman. It works great for either. Nice weight to the pen, definitely feels of high quality. I wouldn't say it's good for long term writing though. No more than a couple paragraphs maybe. After a while the clip does start to become irksome. For an extra-fine it does write very smoothly, fairly similar to the Sailor that I also own. The Sailor is a bit better for sketching, but its achille's heal is it's leaky convertor that likes to spill ink where-as the Pilot does not have this problem. This Pilot feels better made and has better usability as a result. Would recommend it for sure!

I have been into fountain pens for several years now. I already own a couple other Pilot pens--specifically, two different nib variations of the Falcon. And I love my Falcons but they are fairly lightweight, and I'm always (perhaps irrationally) afraid I'm going to damage it so I'm reluctant to carry it with me as a daily use pen.Well, my Pilot Vanishing Point arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to ink it up and give it a shot. Not surprisingly, I am IN LOVE. Most importantly, I require a fine line as I fill out a lot of forms and such. Even with fine and extra-fine nibs of other brands, and even when using good-quality inks, my handwriting tends to spread and make it tough to read on the low-quality papers that I deal with on a daily basis. This pen makes that a non-issue. It puts down a very thin yet satisfyingly wet line, and I personally don't find it particularly scratchy at all. In the hand, the pen has a great balance to it, and the capless feature is so awesome for getting to writing quickly. Some may dislike the way the clip sits near the nib, but I actually find that a nice tool to helping keep the pen at a good writing angle! Despite its cost, I can easily see myself using this as an everyday carry pen for the considerable future.As with other pilot Pens, it is super easy to take care of. Filling with ink was as simple as unscrewing to reveal the piston mechanism, twisting to fill with ink, then ******** the think back together.For anyone looking to find a solid pen that would be convenient and reliable for use on a daily basis, I would strongly urge you to look into this pen.

I have replaced my usual Cross ballpoint pen with the Vanishing point and use it everyday. It doesn't leak and I love the feedback from the extra fine nib. Completely versatile, tactile and a joy to use.
