The beauty of urushi
Urushi is the traditional Japanese lacquer made from tree sap. On the 845 it is layered over an ebonite body, giving a deep, warm gloss that feels soft in the hand. Over time, urushi grows richer and more translucent with use.
A large gold nib
The Custom 845 carries Pilot's No. 15 nib in 18K gold, known for its smooth, confident line. We offer it in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Double Broad; Pilot nibs run finer than European ones.
Easy to fill
The 845 Deep Blue takes Pilot cartridges and comes with a Pilot converter for bottled ink. Gold-plated trim and a screw cap complete a classic, balanced design, 146.3mm long capped.
Frequently asked questions
Is a converter included with the 845 Deep Blue?

How should I care for the urushi finish?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it out of strong direct sunlight for long periods.

No, the 845 uses Pilot's own cartridges and converters.
