Pilot Capless Decimo Dark Blue Fountain Pen
The Pilot Capless Decimo Dark Blue Fountain Pen combines Japanese engineering with everyday practicality. Slimmer and lighter than the classic Capless, it features the same innovative retractable nib system in a refined dark blue lacquer finish. Ideal for professionals, students and frequent note-takers who value speed and precision without sacrificing writing quality.
Concept and Design
The Decimo maintains the iconic click mechanism that made the Capless series famous, while offering a more slender profile and reduced weight. Its deep dark blue body provides a discreet yet elegant presence, suitable for office environments or personal journaling. The clip placement allows intuitive orientation of the nib and secure pocket carry.
Functionality and Retractable System
Unlike traditional fountain pens, the Pilot Capless Decimo uses a push-button mechanism to extend and retract the 18K gold nib. This system protects the nib inside the body when not in use, preventing drying and making it perfect for quick notes. The internal shutter mechanism ensures a tight seal, maintaining ink flow consistency.
Writing Experience
Equipped with a smooth 18K gold nib, the Decimo delivers controlled ink flow and a responsive feel on paper. Whether used for signatures, meeting notes or daily planning, it offers a balanced, precise and reliable writing experience. If you enjoy this mechanism, you may also explore other finishes in the Capless collection available at Inktraveler.
Packaging and Contents
The pen includes a Pilot CON-40 converter and one ink cartridge, presented in an official Pilot gift box. At Inktraveler, it is carefully prepared and shipped from Spain with official warranty. (Product photos are illustrative; minor variations may exist.)

Brand Heritage
Founded in 1918, Pilot has become one of Japan’s most respected writing instrument manufacturers. The Capless series, introduced in 1963, marked a turning point in fountain pen design by eliminating the traditional cap. Decades later, the mechanism remains a benchmark in innovation and functionality.
"Innovation becomes meaningful when it disappears into the simplicity of a single click."
