## Description

"CUSTOM" brothers "CUSTOM" - this is honorable name of PILOT. Common feature of CUSTOM series is intently to chase quality of "writing". Extra decoration is not here. Only quality. The eldest son, "CUSTOM 74" was born at1974. It was revolution in the writing tool world. Quality, design and price... standard and foundation is here. Maybe it is correct that this "became" standard. Now, three brothers are here. Rule of "CUSTOM" family All foundation for writing is here. Moderate thickness of axis, balanced weight, preferable condition of nib and chic design. Perfect. By the way, there are "74" and "742". It can be said that this 3 kinds are base of all "CUSTOM". What's different point ? The decoration, length and thickness is difference a little. However the most different point is nib size. "CUSTOM 743" is #15, the most biggest among this 3 series (But this doesn't mean large nib is good). Oh, price is different also... pretty. Captivating brothers Actually, this brothers are very handful ! Ah, who is the Mr. Right ? Size and kinds of nib, thickness... ah, how difficult ! Certainly, you can't escape from their charm ! . nib Nib is 14K (#15), large size. This large nib is actually majestic. Arched shape is elegant. The total balance is very good. Look nice. Black - from popular to special, there are various 14 kinds of nib. Please enjoy different flavor ! Equipped accessories : Gift box, 1 cartridge ink and converter.

Review: Another great fountain pen from Pilot. - The Pilot Custom 743 isn’t flashy, and that’s exactly the point. Its classic black, cigar-shaped design is clean, timeless, and purposeful. This pen is about solid build quality, reliability, and everyday performance, highlighted by Pilot’s excellent 14K gold nib. I own several Pilot pens and keep coming back to them because they’re consistently smooth, dependable writers—and the Custom 743 lives up to that reputation. Ink capacity is good with the CON-70 converter, and Pilot ink cartridges are also an option if you prefer them. I tend to favor larger pens for comfort, and this one fits my hand very well. The grip shape and diameter make long writing sessions easy, with no fatigue or hand cramping. Overall, this is a pen I can recommend without hesitation.
Review: The Perfect Nib on the Perfect Pen. - For me, the Pilot Custom 743 just may be the perfect pen. Substantially the same design and the same 14K nib of the much-vaunted Custom 823, but with a converter instead of the vacuum fill. For the 743, that makes it easier to clean (with a pen syringe) and the best ink capacity of any converter out there. Not as much capacity as the vacuum fill, but to paraphrase a 16th Century Italian playwright, 'One should do with lovers exactly as one does with ink colours*: Have many, enjoy them one at a time, and change often.' I already had the 743 in Verdigris with the M nib, which writes fantastically. Still, I heard so many good things about the ~15 different nib options you can get with the 743 (but only in Black), that it left me wondering what might still be there to discover. After doing a bunch of research on the qualities of each nib variant I settled on the SFM, or soft fine-medium. From its description, the SFM has a finer line than the medium (but not as thin as 'fine', which depending on the paper can feel scratchy to me), and a bit of 'bounce' as the nib flows across the page. I was a bit hesitant to order it from desertcart Japan, but I needn't have worried. It arrived in about two weeks and was more than worth the wait. The pen itself is light in the hand, which makes long writing sessions a pleasure and no fatigue. It also takes a lighter touch to fully appreciate what the soft nib has to offer in terms of bounce across the page, but once you make the adjustment it barely feels like you're pressing at all, and the words simply flow. I originally shied away from Black as a bit boring compared to the Verdigris, but it has also grown on me, looking understated yet refined. And the 14K SFM nib is worth the price of admission all on its own. If you can only own one fountain pen, this is it. *the original quote says 'clothes' here. But it holds true for fountain pens (and ink), so Guarini will forgive me.
