Product Description
The new Capless LS impresses thanks to a combination of innovative push mechanism and silent twist mechanism. The fountain pen tip can be extended with a click and is immediately ready to write. The nib slides elegantly back into the barrel with a small twist at the end of the barrel. When the nib is closed, a valve automatically slides in front of the opening, protecting the retracted nib from drying out and becoming dirty. This innovative 2-in-1 system impresses with its modern look, which is expressed on the one hand by its discreet push mechanism and on the other by its elegant, concave center ring.
The Capless LS has rhodium-plated decorative elements and is supplied in an elegant, exclusive gift box, including a black leather case and free iroshizuku ink bottle. The new Capless LS is available in four different finishes: a completely matt black look and a glossy lacquer finish in black, dark blue and violet.

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.
