Pilot Elite 95S

Love this ink. It never fails me. I inked up my Pilot Elite with it and…it was as lovely as expected.

It feels very fragile for a pocket pen. I feel like it can shatter with a bad drop. It’s also to expensive for a pocket pen. I was too afraid of losing or breaking it. Lastly I did not feel confident enough in the caps retention to have it in my pocket. I’m sure it works well in other uses, but I bo...

The Pilot Elite 95s is probably going to become, hands down, one of the best pens in my collection. What a great nib it has, and the design of the pen as a whole is sublime… the shape of the pen, the color scheme, and the overall elegant vintage feel. The cap thing? OH yes!

Received what I was expecting. The pen isn't perfect. But very nice. I wanted a Japanese pen with an Extra Fine nib in my collection. One thing if you're considering this pen in E.F. is that Japanese pen brands make their Fine, and Extra Fine nibs finer than European brands do. A Pilot Fine is equiv...

I am pleased with this addition to my fountain pen collection. The size appears smaller than I usually prefer, but with the required posting provides a pleasant writing experience. The pen is very lightweight and I like a heavier writing instrument normally. However, I find the smoothness of the nib...

This is a very, very nice pen made even nicer by the fact that the price is about half what you'd pay for it in a shop. This comes from Japan, which is why it's cheaper than you can get it in the US. I'm not going to go into all of the reasons for that but this is what you'd pay for it if you were s...

The styling is 70s svelte — retro and beautiful. I bought the black with gold trim. This is a light and short pocket pen that transforms to full size with the cap posted. Some kind of magic happens when posting and unposting the cap. I have never experienced such a silky smooth feeling as it glides ...

The Pilot Elite/95s in EF is one of my favourite fountain pens of all time - particularly the maroon version, but this black version is also very elegant, if a little less distinctive. Nevertheless, the pen design and the shape of the nib and its extreme fineness is sophisticated and beautiful. This...

I wrote the title with thoughtful consideration. All pens in the classic shape or any modern deviation will have an ugly joint between the section and the barrel, be it either a steep step-down or irritating threads right where I hold the pens. This Elite design takes care of that. Anyone can find a...

I have small hands & a permanently-injured dominant hand. This is the ONLY pen thin, light, and smooth enough to enable me to write for hours. Ink doesn’t seem to matter that much. The nib was smooth out of the box. The only thing I don’t like is that Pilot doesn’t offer this amazing pen in more col...
