Pilot is excited to announce the newest collection of fountain pens in the Vanishing Point line, the Vanishing Point SE. The stunning and vibrant marble-colored black resin body extends sophistication to your writing style. Every single pen is one-of-a-kind because no two marbling patterns are the same. Designed to delight the fountain pen collector; the pen’s exceptional body is enhanced with lustrous rhodium accents.

The Vanishing Point fountain pen by Pilot is the world’s first and favorite retractable fountain pen. The Vanishing Point was revolutionary when it was engineered in 1963 and continues to be unmatched in both design and writing performance. The precision engineering of the fountain pen barrel and internal mechanisms allow the nib to retract completely when not in use. The Vanishing Point nib is expertly crafted in 18-karat gold for exquisite writing performance what conforms to your writing style.

Rhodium is considered the rarest most valuable precious metal in the world – even more so than gold or platinum. Rhodium is both beautiful and durable which ensures the nib and accents will never corrode and remain pristine.

Each Vanishing Point SE fountain pen is beautifully merchandised in an elegant gift box. A Pilot CON-40 converter is included with this pen for use with bottled ink, as well as a blue Pilot ink cartridge. A metal cartridge cap is also included for use with the ink cartridge. The Vanishing Point SE uses the same replacement nib unit as the other Vanishing Point models.

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Pilot ink cartridges, which are available in a wide range of colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
