Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Coarse Fountain Pen

Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Coarse Fountain Pen

The Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Coarse turns every page into a bold canvas. Its 14 k gold Coarse (C) nib lays down a generous, juicy line that showcases shading, sheen and shimmering inks to perfection. Perfect for visual artists, statement signatures and journal enthusiasts who crave broad, dramatic strokes, this Japanese fountain pen marries effortless glide with robust ink flow—ideal for expressive lettering, sketch annotations and eye-catching titles.

Concept and Design

A glossy black PMMA barrel pairs with rhodium-plated accents to create a timeless, professional profile. The sword-shaped clip secures the pen to pockets and pen cases, while the cap band engraved “Custom Heritage 912 Pilot Japan” pays tribute to more than a century of Japanese craftsmanship. Weighing only 17 g, the pen remains balanced and comfortable during extended sessions.

Functionality and Filling System

At its heart lies the high-capacity Con70 pump converter, drawing nearly 1 ml of ink with a single squeeze—essential for a broad nib that naturally consumes more ink. The precision-cut plastic feed regulates flow, ensuring immediate starts and skip-free writing even after long pauses. Flushing takes seconds, making colour swaps quick and painless.

Package Contents

Each fountain 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 so ideas can flow freely onto paper. The Custom family embodies this ethos by offering a full spectrum of finely tuned nibs—from needle-fine to coarse—ensuring every writer finds a perfect match. The Coarse variant continues that legacy, delivering broad, expressive lines without sacrificing the everyday reliability Pilot is renowned for.
