Pilot Capless Matt Fountain Pen – Midnight Blue
Product information
Product Information
Product Description
The Capless is an innovative fountain pen with a push mechanism that does not require a cap. The nib can be retracted and extended with a click, similar to a ballpoint pen. The Capless Matt represents the perfect combination of luxury and technology, as it is also equipped with elegant, matt black trim and an 18-carat rhodium-plated gold nib. Unlike the other color variants, the blue Capless Matt is fitted with an 18-carat gold nib that has been plated with titanium. Great importance was also attached to the quality of the other materials and the use of high-quality metals such as copper and stainless steel, from which the casing is made. The colored barrel of the Capless Matt is coated with a matt lacquer, giving it a modern elegance. Thanks to its gold nib, it glides particularly smoothly over the paper when writing.
The Capless Matt is available in different colored barrels and several line widths. So you can choose for yourself whether you prefer to write with a fine, medium or broad nib. Like all PILOT products, the Capless is manufactured according to Japanese standards. Accordingly, Japanese nibs usually produce finer lines than would be the case with European or American nibs of the same nib size.
The Capless Matt guarantees you a unique writing experience. Each PILOT Capless fountain pen is supplied with a high-quality gift box, an ink converter, a black cartridge and a protective cap for this cartridge.

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.
