Product Description
The Capless Decimo is the narrower Capless variant. Thanks to the narrower body shape, the Capless Decimo is perfect for smaller, more delicate hands or people for whom the usual Capless is a little too wide. At the same time, this fountain pen is correspondingly lighter in weight.
Despite its narrower body, the Capless Decimo remains just as functional as the rest of the Capless range. The innovative push mechanism retracts and extends the nib so that the fountain pen is completely capless - the name says it all! A small valve in the barrel prevents the nib from drying out or getting dirty when retracted. The Capless Decimo is therefore easy to carry and is always ready for use.
The Capless Decimo is available in three different line widths F, M and B and five different casing designs. In addition to the classic black or blue, you can choose between a timeless gray or white and a beautiful champagne pink. No matter which version you choose, all housing colors are covered with a glossy finish and are real eye-catchers!
The Capless Decimo is also equipped with rhodium-plated decorative parts and an 18-carat gold nib, which is also rhodium-plated to round off the overall look. This lighter version can be refilled either with suitable ink cartridges (IC-100 and IC-50) or, thanks to a converter, with the fascinating PILOT iroshizuku inks. Both the converter and an ink cartridge, including the matching protective cap, are included in the scope of delivery.

One Click. Ready to Write.
The Click Mechanism
You know the moment: a thought comes up, and by the time you’ve uncapped your pen, it’s gone. The Pilot Capless was made for that moment. One click and the gold nib is there, ready to write. Click again and it disappears into the barrel, while a small trap door quietly seals it inside.
Pilot first presented this idea in 1963, and it has been refined ever since. More than sixty years later, the Capless still feels a bit like magic, combining the character of a real fountain pen with the ease of a ballpoint. It’s the fountain pen you’ll actually use every day: in meetings, on the go, or for the quick note on a Post-it.
Nib & Details
At the heart of every Capless is an 18k gold nib made by Pilot in Japan. It glides over the paper with a soft, slightly springy feel, and it’s what gives your handwriting its character. The mechanism is just as carefully engineered. The nib, feed and ink reservoir form one compact unit that slides out of the barrel in one piece. The spring-loaded trap door keeps the nib from drying out, so the pen is ready to write even after hours in your bag.
The clip sits on the nib end. That sounds unusual at first, but it has a purpose. It guides your fingers into a relaxed writing position, and it keeps the nib pointing up when the pen is in your pocket. You can fill the Capless with Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible Pilot converter, which gives you the whole world of bottled ink.
Which Capless for You?
- Capless (Vanishing Point): the original with a click mechanism. It has a substantial, well-balanced weight and comes in many finishes. A great choice if you like a solid feel in your hand.
- Capless Decimo: slimmer and noticeably lighter than the classic Capless, with the same click mechanism. Ideal if you have smaller hands or write for long stretches.
- Capless LS: click to bring out the nib, twist to retract it – both almost silently. Luxurious and discreet, perfect for quiet meetings.
A tip on nib sizes: Japanese nibs write about one size finer than European ones. A Pilot F is closer to a European EF, and a Pilot M to a European F. If you’re used to European fountain pens and like a fuller line, go one size up.
