David, thanks for the review, truly that is one large pen. May you enjoy it in good health.
I never get tired of seeing this pen. I have to add one to my collection, eventually.
Thank you!
Thank you, David. I like your reviews because you give interesting information about the pens, how they are made, where their names come from and even some historical info about the company. I appreciate that.
Thanks for watching!
David when seeing the pen in comparison to its smaller brother i didn't realise how big the actual pen was. I agree about the feed it should have been made of ebonite. An absolute stunner of a pen thanks for sharing.
The Vermillion colour is stunning. ON CLEANING, I've found the absolutely fastest way of cleaning the CON-70 converter. It's the waterpic. Use warm water and a drop of soap. Cup your hand over the open end of the barrel and spray away, it's done in less than 1 minute. More like 30 seconds.
As usual, great review, honest and straight forward. Worth watching every minute of it. Very informative indeed. *Thank you.*
Sweet pen, David! Congrats on acquiring it ... and I don't blame you one little bit for not doing a "giveaway" with it! Thanks for sharing it with us via Video. I very much like the fact that it's a super nice pen without being flashy or gaudy -- well done Pilot.
I'd be interested in hearing more about the Urushi process (if/when you get the chance) both in general and more specifically: how do the artisans avoid the fairly common allergic reactions to the Urushiol when they work with it so much? I never had poison ivy until after I turned 50 even though I had been in contact with it during my younger years.
You might want to watch my interview with Jonathon Brooks. We discuss the Urushi process a great deal.
Such a beautiful pen. A bit too large for my hands but I appreciate the craftsmanship of the pen. Thank you for your review.
Great review, thanks David.
Beautiful pen. Congratulations!
Thank you, David.
Thanks for this review. I find odd that on your review of the Custom 845 I saw that the box of the 845 was nicer and had some goodies like the bulb for cleaning and this more expensive pen is a little bit "just the pen in the box".
Beautiful pen. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for an insightful review. Love to see a follow up of your urushi (and/or other special pens) to see how they look and feel after they've been used for a while. Do they develop lovely patina or do they disappoint? Thank you,
I was waiting for this review since your meeting with bryan from goulet co in march or april
David thanks for the great video. Thanks for taking the time to create this content. I have been looking at the Custom Urushi but can't decide on the nib. I have a Pilot Custom 845 in medium. Is the Pilot Custom Urushi medium nib any wider than that on the Custom 845? I would appreciate any input you may have. Many thanks and I look forward to your next video.
I would say mine are comparable.
I would love to try the #30 nib but don't need the expensive Urushi finish. Do you know of a pilot pen with this nib size that has a better price point? I do have the Sailor King of Pen (M nib), are the nibs similar in softness or is the pilot #30 softer/flexier? Thank you!!!!
Fellow triangle area resident here. I have a custom 823 that started as a broad. Being the brave soul that I am, I ground it myself into a cursive italic. Now I love it even more with the greater line variation while retaining the buttery smoothness. I’ve been thinking about picking one of these up but am not sure if the advantage is enough compared to the 823. The thing that draws me to this is the size. I have larger hands and while I already own a 149 I just prefer the pilot nib. Also, losing the vac filler would be a bummer. Any thoughts? Also, I’m a piano tuner and I’m not sure if you own a piano but if you need a tuning I would love a tour of your amazing pen collection! Maybe we could barter. 😉
Don't own a piano, but you should join us at the Triangle Pen Club. The next meeting is Jan 6. We meet at the Chapel Hill Public Library. www.meetup.com/Triangle-Pen-Club-Meetup/
Gorgeous pen. Strange about the plastic feed; things like that drive me nuts.
I actually just bought one from Goulet and will have it flexed and tuned.
David please make a review on pennbbs 350 fountain pen
I really wish Pilot, or Sailor, or "anyone" would take one of these oversize nibs and design it for Flex.
Not that you "need" something that size to get good flex, but it just seems like a wasted opportunity, and I'm betting they would sell more if there were any kind of functional advantage to the Custom Urushi. As-is reviews seem to indicate the plain vanilla Custom 74 with a SF nib is as good as anything else that Pilot makes (I'd probably go for the 742 though just for one step larger nib and body, even though it's a 60% cost increase with little to no functional value).
Does anyone know why the section, finial, and tail cap aren't Urushi? Is there a functional reason? Or was it a way to cut costs?
Thanks David
Another great pen review. Just wanted to know whether you prefer the nib on this pen or the Sailor King Of Pen nib
You should check out my "Top Ten Nibs" video to see the answer to that question.
Thank you for the review. I have one in broad and the nib is glorious. Writes soft like a western medium. It’s definitely one of the best nibs I own. I question whether the barrel may be the only part made of ebonite. The cap seems like urushi coated plastic to me. Other than that, I am in full agreement it’s worthy of being Pilot’s flagship pen.
May I ask you something, how do you think about this pen compared with saliorkop ,I'd like to choose one. Please give me some suggestions.
I like the Colorverse ink in the background.
Two from Season 4...Ham and Felicette
Thanks David:)
No giveaway this time? Teehee
Love your work.
How would you compare the nib with the M149?best value between these 2 pens?
The ebonite (Hard Rubber) are not injection molded, they are material that need to be machined to form the desired shape. that"s why its very hard to have the feed made of ebonite in mass production.
This pen has the feel and touch of resin. How does one confirm if the body is made of ebonite?
hello, great review but specs seem to be wrong (maybe from 845): fro CUSTOM URUSHI we have body length at 140,2 mm, closed is 154,6 while wight is about 43g...Thank you!
Great pen and review, David! I pulled the trigger and bought this pen. Question: any issues if I use other inks than Pilot ones? I got a Graf von Faber Castell Carbon Black ink, any issues using this ink? Would it void Pilot warranty or would it harm the pen in any way? Would it be a good fit to this pen? Thanks!
In my opinion, this warning from pen manufacturers is to protect them from folks who might put any corrosive, hand-made concoction in their pen and claim that it's the pen's fault. Any well-known, mass-market ink should be fine.
That is one fantasmagorical pen David and I would have one if I had the money, but I don't intend to sell body parts to get one... My hands hurt when I write so I favour fatter pens such as this but have to settle for the Jinhao 159 type and a certain Italix pen which weighs in at 65g capped, yes I did say 65... But its a nice fattun, Pilot ink of course in such a pen which I do have but for the folks in the US who like the Iroshizuku colour but not the price... Noodlers Black Swan in Australian Roses is close but not as bright maybe Black Swan in English roses would be closer..
( my opinion OK, which won't suit everyone) . BTW Noodlers inks here cost at least twice as much. - Amazon, eBay, Pure Pens if you want to see how much Nathan's Stuff costs us... I digress, the nib on this pen... Is it the biggest ??? Because I thought Sailor pens had the biggest ones... but its stunningly incredably large and the Con70 is the definate choice to feed it. With my Con70 on my Pilot 912..... I stay with the ink colour family so I'm not spending forever cleaning it (Red/Brown)
I think this is one of the nicest black oversized pens I've seen, SBRE has two big red urushi pens which are stunning but I like this because it looks like a pilot pen just bigger with all the trimmings I mean... If you get what I'm trying to say.
Thanks for another pen revisited, it was good.
Best wishes to all pen people

Do you still have an Izumo? How does this compare?
im stuck between the custom 845 and custom urushi. i'm going to tell Goulet Pens that you twisted my arm on my purchase. :D
I almost picked one of these up today. They go for ¥70000 in Osaka (the Sailor KOP Ebonite is the same price) but ended up with the more generic Pelican M1000 which I got for a good price as well (¥52000. I just wish the Pilot had an ebonite grip. I’ll be saving up for an Eboya and a trip to Tokyo next.
Wow, do you have a store name or website? I see it go for 96000 yen

I just ordered the vermillion. Have wondered why the pen is cartridge/converter, rather than a piston filler. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your review.
Same question. I expect such a high calibre pen to be piston-filled.
Awesome
How does this compare to the kop?
the felt material would fall off , as did in my urushi royale pen.

Isn’t the information about custom 845?
Custom urushi weights over 40 grams and the photo is also 845
Custom_845- :body 16g, cap 11g , total 27g
Custom_Urushi- :body 25g, cap18g, total 43g
@@Cortesevasive thanks. Do you know the uncapped length and section size?
@@krugmeup2162 gouletpens has very detailed descriptions.
@@Cortesevasive cheers
After this video, the question is not as to whether or not to get one. It's which color should I get? Black, vermillion, or both?!
Thank you for the good video. Does custom urushi write more smoothly than custom 845? Is there a difference when taking notes?
It depends on the tipping size, but my medium CU is slightly smoother. But it is hard to go wrong with either.
@@FigbootonPensThanks sir!
I believe this model is made with resin instead of ebonite. Urushi is applied to resin.
You did indeed have an issue with it, in railroaded as you mentioned
Which is actually your favourite nib? This one or one on Sailor KoP ?
You should check out my recent "Top Ten Nibs" video...it just might contain the answer.
Still I think there no advantage and my first favorite pen is custom 845. Why? First nice size for daily use and carrying conveniently in pocket besides reasonable price. However I heard this pen has offered for 760$ in some deals but I didn't see myself. Even 760 is a lot. If the benchmark is urushi lacquer then 845 would be satisfying and I guess nibs in both models are identical
The Pilot Custom 845 has the same #15 nib as the 743 and 823.
You can actually get it much cheaper elsewhere. Just ordered one. Thanks for sharing
Playoff - Sailor King of Pen Black Urushi vs Pilot Custom Urushi ?? - look out for Mark and Mary from Toronto at the DC pen show - Thanks for the video
How does the black urushi finish hold up? I am keen to get one but I am worried that the black finish will make micro scratches obvious and make the pen unattractive
I haven't experienced any diminishing looks to the pen.
@@FigbootonPens thanks!! Would you say the medium on this is wider than a 823 medium?
Close to buy this pen. Shall I buy MF or M? Any suggestions? Thanks!
I am personally a fan of the medium.
@@FigbootonPens thanks!! This is what I ordered!
Awesome pen. $1100 is crazy tho. Not saying I wouldn’t buy it if I had the money. But damn that’s expensive lol
Does the 845 also have a #30 nib?
Might be too late for you, but maybe this will help someone else anyway... The 845 has a #15 nib - same size as 743 & 823 but in 18kt two tone rather than 14kt monotone and is a little stiffer (lots of people assume being 18kt that it will be softer, but it is not).
@@adamzappia2213 thank you for the information
@@adamzappia2213 like the Sailor 21K nibs. They are stiff, but still a great nib.

Hi figboot on pen.
This pen was reviewed 8 month ago, but there were some mismatched information in my think.
I find the measurements are from pilot 845, not custom urushi.
Please check that and if it is wrong, i hope you reupload. Thanks
Such a shame, plastic feed instead of an upgraded ebonite feed especially at that price point
28 grams? Didn't you say 45?
Yan Doroshenko 45 is the total weight. The cap is 20, leaving 25...
K we
sorry mate your measurements are wrong
