Is the nib on the Pilot Custom 82 made of gold?
Pilot typically fits its Custom series pens with 14-karat or 18-karat gold nibs, similar to the renowned Custom 74 and Custom 823. This is a big part of why the line is praised for smoothness combined with a slight, controlled feedback on the page.
How does the Pilot Custom 82 fill with ink?
Like most Custom-series pens, it uses bottled ink through a Pilot converter, typically the CON-70 push-button converter, and can also accept Pilot ink cartridges. This gives you access to Pilot's large bottled ink range, including the well-known Iroshizuku line.
Who makes the Custom series and where is it manufactured?
The pens are made by Pilot, the Japanese writing instrument company founded in Tokyo in 1918. The Custom line represents Pilot's domestic Japanese craftsmanship tier, sitting above the entry-level Metropolitan and Kakuno pens.
