Below are live/real pictures of the Custom Urushi version which is larger, but we wanted to show how amazing the blue looks.
Pilot is proud to introduce an elegant new addition to the esteemed Custom 845 collection: Prussian Blue. This timeless fountain pen will now be available in Prussian Blue. This sophisticated hue expands the line beyond its classic Black and rich Vermillion finishes, offering a refined yet striking alternative.
The Custom 845 is meticulously crafted using traditional Urushi lacquer techniques, where multiple layers of natural lacquer are carefully applied, cured, and polished to achieve a deep, lustrous finish. The newly introduced Prussian Blue, known in Japanese as 紺青 (Kon-jo), is an exceptionally challenging color to create. Achieving this rich, vibrant shade requires expert blending of pigments with Urushi lacquer, resulting in a masterpiece of depth and elegance.
This remarkable writing instrument is designed to suit a variety of writing styles, featuring a beautifully crafted two-toned 18k gold nib and complemented by luxurious gold accents. The Custom 845 seamlessly combines artistry and performance, making it both a treasured writing companion and a distinguished heirloom.
Urushi lacquer is harvested from the sap of the lacquer tree, it is skillfully applied in multiple layers to create a durable, glossy finish that radiates depth and warmth. Pilot exclusively uses authentic, Japanese Urushi lacquer, ensuring each Custom 845 is a masterpiece of artistry and heritage.
