Pilot Capless Decimo Grey Fountain Pen
The Pilot Capless Decimo Grey Fountain Pen combines Pilot’s iconic retractable engineering with a refined grey finish that emphasizes modern minimalism. Slimmer and lighter than the standard Capless model, the Decimo is designed for everyday writers who value comfort, efficiency, and understated Japanese design.
Concept and design
The introduction of the Pilot Capless marked a milestone in fountain pen innovation. By eliminating the traditional cap and integrating a push-button retractable system, Pilot created a writing instrument that deploys instantly with a single click.
The Decimo model represents the tenth evolution within this capless series. Thinner and lighter than earlier versions, it offers a more streamlined and agile feel in hand while maintaining the same mechanical reliability that defines the Capless line.
The grey satin finish delivers a discreet, professional character. Its neutral tone complements both office and creative environments, reinforcing a balanced and contemporary aesthetic. The distinctive front clip not only secures the pen to a pocket or notebook but also guides proper finger placement during writing.
Performance and filling system
Fitted with a retractable 18K gold nib, the Capless Decimo provides smooth, consistent ink flow and precise control. The internal sealing mechanism protects the nib when retracted, helping prevent ink from drying out. It operates with Pilot cartridges or a converter (not included), ensuring compatibility with bottled inks.
Package contents
The pen comes in its original Pilot presentation box. A converter is not included. At Inktraveler, we add a complimentary ink bottle so you can begin writing immediately. (Product images are indicative; slight variations may occur.)

Brand heritage
Since 1963, the Capless has represented one of Pilot’s most significant technical achievements. As the first mass-produced retractable fountain pen, it combined Japanese mechanical precision with everyday practicality. The Decimo line refines that innovation in a lighter, slimmer form suited to contemporary writing habits.
"Precision at the click of a button, in perfectly balanced grey."
