PILOT – CUSTOM 74

The Pilot Custom 74 is made to delight, not just the fountain pen user but also the people around. Its slender design and curved ends ensure a smooth and easy handling of the pen. Featured on the resin made pen is a 14KT gold nib with either Extra Fine, Fine, Medium or Broad nib options to choose from. The Pilot Custom 74 is available in various colors in solid resin like Black, Maroon, Green, Smoke Black, and Blue. Also available are translucent finishes in Blue, Grey, White Blue and Orange. Pilot Custom 74 is a best gift option for Men who love simple and classic fountain pens.

Like many of Pilot’s pens, the Custom 74 is an understated, classic-looking pen. With a traditional cigar-shaped body, the 74 possesses very little to draw the eye. My 74 was ordered from a Japanese-based eBay seller, and came in a dark green plastic that looks almost black in most light. This particular color is not available from sellers in the U.S.

It takes 1 3/4 turns to remove the twist-on cap from the barrel on very smooth, but slightly loose, threads. Underneath, there is a slightly concave section and a smallish 14k Gold nib.
