Pilot Iro-Utsushi Dip Pen - Brown Wooden
Pilot is pleased to announce the latest edition to our fountain pen collections: Iro-Utsushi. These dip pens are a combination of Pilot’s stainless-steel laser cut nibs with the body of a traditional dip pen. The stainless-steel nibs are also rust-free.
This brown wooden dip pen comes equipped with a Pilot steel nib. Iro-Utsushi utilizes the same pen point in the nib that is found in other Pilot fountain pens, offering extreme durability and the nib won’t wear out over time and use like other common dip pens.
Pilot’s Iro-Utsushi dip pens are a fantastic way to change and test a variety of ink colors. Simply submerge the nib into your ink of choice up to the designated line that is engraved on the nib, remove the dip pen from the ink, and begin your smooth-writing experience. To switch colors, clean the nib with water and wipe it completely dry.

Customer Reviews
This pen was a Christmas gift 2 years in a row (one M nib one F nib) and I love them. They were my first exposure to dip pens and they hold ink for longer than I expected. They make even my terrible handwriting look good. They are easy to clean. I will be buying more.
I have been scribbling with the Iro-Utsishi wooden handle for my nightly ritual for a few weeks now. Personally i could not be happier with the pen. The nib has just the right amount of feedback for me I can almost say it feels like a pencil. The deliberate dipping helps keep me in the moment and is just an immensely enjoyable experience. It has become my main go to when i am home and don't find myself reaching for anything else except when i am leaving the house (although i wish i could find a way to make it more portable).
(Yes, this is the same review on all four pens. I bought one of each... Blue Resin, Clear Resin, Black Wooden, and Brown Wooden)Absolutely fantastic! I've been using them all day and they are so fun! I normally use Fine size Japanese nibs, but these mediums are pretty nice. Just got to write a little larger so it's legible. My handwriting is horrible, but you can get a decent idea of how they perform with different inks. Noodler's Blue-Black and Noodler's Liberty's Elysium didn't spread or feather as much as the others. This is also general quality copy paper, not fancy journal paper. I highly recommend picking at least one up and giving it a try. It's hilariously fun!
