Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Sutab Fountain Pen
The Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Sutab turns everyday writing into expressive calligraphy. Its 14 k gold Stub nib broadens down-strokes and pinches cross-strokes while gliding with Pilot’s signature smoothness. Perfect for designers, journal keepers and signature enthusiasts who crave distinctive line variation, this fountain pen adds dramatic flair to meeting notes, headings and greeting cards without compromising daily reliability.
Concept and Design
A sleek black PMMA barrel pairs with rhodium-plated trim, presenting a timeless silhouette that slips into planners and portfolios. The cap band engraved “Custom Heritage 912 Pilot Japan” nods to over a century of Japanese craftsmanship, while the sword-shaped clip secures the pen during travel. Weighing just 17 g, the pen feels balanced and agile for extended sessions.
Functionality and Filling System
At its heart lies the generous Con70 pump converter, drawing nearly one millilitre of ink with a single squeeze—crucial for a nib that naturally consumes more ink. The precision-cut feed meters flow so the Stub starts instantly, resists skipping and flushes clean in seconds when it is time for a new colour.
Package Contents
Each pen ships in a white Pilot gift box with the Con70 installed, a spare Pilot cartridge, multilingual instructions and a three-year warranty card—ready for gifting or immediate use.

Brand History and Philosophy
Founded in Tokyo in 1918, Pilot engineers writing instruments that disappear in the hand, letting ideas flow freely onto paper. The Custom family embodies this vision by offering a spectrum of finely tuned nibs—from extra-fine to stub—so every writer finds a perfect match. The Sutab variant continues that legacy, adding bold flair without compromising everyday dependability.
