The Pilot Vanishing Point Converter with Nib – Rhodium is a complete replacement nib unit designed specifically for Pilot’s retractable fountain pen system. Made by Pilot, it combines an 18k gold nib with a rhodium plating, giving it a clean silver finish that matches rhodium-trimmed pens while maintaining the same writing performance as the gold version.
This unit includes the nib, feed, housing, and a CON-40 twist piston converter, all built as a single removable assembly. Because of the Vanishing Point’s retractable mechanism, everything is designed to slide in and out together rather than being separated like in traditional fountain pens. It’s available in multiple nib sizes including extra fine, fine, medium, broad, and stub, making it easy to switch writing styles without changing the pen itself.
In use, it offers a smooth and controlled writing feel with a slightly firm character typical of Pilot nibs. Installation is straightforward—just remove the existing unit and replace it with another. It is fully compatible with modern Pilot Vanishing Point and Decimo models, but not with standard fountain pens, as it’s built specifically for the capless retractable system.
