Product Description
The Pilot Custom 823 fountain pens are made of high quality materials, it is available in fine finishing of transparent cap/barrel and it is a demonstrator. The material is dark enough that it blends well with the colors of the pen under most light. But holding it up against even moderate back light shows you right away how much ink you have left. The lower portion of the cap is also translucent. The fountain pen uses plunger vacuum style filler and holds lots of ink. The filling process is relatively easy, by unscrewing the barrel end cap and pulls out the plunger and push ink to fill. This fountain pen comes with a 14K gold nib.
Dimension:
Length with cap posted: 16.2cm

Yep, it's that good
Bought the Fine nib.
It's thicker than entry level Pilot's F nib (Kakuno, MR/Metropolitan, Prera). Almost like the medium. It's also rather wet so might cause a subtle feathering on certain paper. I notice it "shows" more clarity on the ink color than entry level Pilots.
Everything is also smooth already out of the box, and after fully inking the feed, it gets even smoother. Unlike Fine nib in Kakuno that can be scratchy or needle-like on certain paper, the 823 can slide on many different types of paper that I own.
The more I use it, the more I like it.
I think it live up to its popularity.
