A brief history of Pilot pens

Based in Tokyo, Japan, Pilot Corporation produces writing instruments that are sold the world over. It’s now the largest pen manufacturer in Japan, but came from humble beginnings back in 1915. Back then, a professor from Tokyo Nautical College founded a small factory that produced gold nibs. It later expanded to become a fully-fledged manufacture of writing implements before establishing multiple overseas offices.

Inventor of the capless, retractable fountain pen.

In 1964, Pilot Corporation introduced the very first capless pen, which has since become one of the most popular fountain pen models. The Pilot Capless fountain pen can still be bought today from Write Here, and is an unusual, luxury fountain pen that’s perfect for handwriting and note taking, but features some incredibly clever design. Unlike most fountain pens that feature a cap, Pilot capless uses a mechanism similar to that of a ballpoint pen, which enables the user to click it and watch as the nib slides effortlessly in and out. It’s a brilliant take on traditional fountain pens and very practical indeed.
