The Pilot E95S in Burgundy/Ivory is a modern revival of a classic 1960s pocket fountain pen design by Pilot. It has a slim burgundy resin body paired with an ivory cap and gold trim, giving it a clean vintage-inspired look that feels simple but refined. The design is compact when capped, but becomes a full-sized pen once posted, which changes both its balance and writing feel.
One of its main highlights is the inlaid 14k gold nib, which is built into the section rather than mounted externally. This design helps deliver a very smooth, controlled ink flow with a slightly soft, responsive writing feel. The pen is light in hand, and most users find it comfortable for longer writing sessions, especially when posted.
It uses Pilot’s cartridge and converter system, including the CON-40 converter, and works with Pilot’s proprietary ink cartridges. The snap-cap closure feels secure, and overall it is designed as a practical everyday writer with a more elegant, vintage personality rather than a flashy modern look.
