Review: 国産の金ペン万年筆はここ数年でどんどん値上がりしてしまっていますが、desertcartなら割安で購入できるのでおすすめです。 外国産の万年筆は製造品質に若干不安があったりもするので、可能であればお店で試したいところですが、国産の万年筆は品質が安定しているので通販でも不安は少ないです。 そしてこちらのパイロット万年筆のカスタム743ですが、文句無しの一品で書きやすさ、太さと作りの良さからの安心感もあり、おすすめできる万年筆です。 1万円未満の万年筆で、万年筆のよさにハマった方にはいつかこちらを試してほしいです。 カスタム74, 742と比べて軸の高級感も値段が上がった分を確実に感じられます、 星を5ではなく、4としているのは、外国のメーカーの万年筆に比べるとやはり地味というか、華がない点でしょうか。黒と金のいわゆる仏壇万年筆です。ただ、これは好みの問題なので、このデザインが好きな方、気にならない方は十分満点が付くものだと思います。
Review: 他の人のレビューを参考にしましたが、良い評価と悪い評価に別れていたので、購入を躊躇しました。今持ってる万年筆はペン先が堅いものばかりで、柔らかめのペン先のものを試してみたかったので、思い切って買いました。結論から言うと、思い切って良かったということです。インクの出具合といい、ペン先のしなり具合といい、私の求めていた感触でした。これから長く使い続けることになりそうです。

Can't find the pen through most reputable US pen retailers, but could easily find it on Amazon. Came in the right box, with all the right tags, stickers, and inclusions. Writes like a dream and is appears to be absolutely legitimate. You might be able to get it a tad bit cheaper going through a popular international auction site or Amazon JP, but we're talking saving $10-15 dollars after you factor in the international shipping, risking it getting stopped for containing an ink cartridge, no guarantee of including the Con-70 converter, and adding multiple days to the shipping time. Yeah, for all of that hassle, i'll gladly just get it from Amazon US. Perfect pen. Couldn't ask for better.
