## 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" familyAll 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 brothersActually, 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 ! . nibNib is 14K (#15), large size. This large nib is actually majestic. Arched shape is elegant. The total balance is very good. Look nice. Posting nibThis nib is special nib. Width is thin. But the most feature is that you can't mind writing pressure and angle needed in case you want to write little letter. The secret is shape of penpoint. Downward. Even if the angle between paper and axis is low, the angle between penpoint and paper is near the vertical. You can use by same feeling of standard nibs. In addition, width of letter is steady. Oh, shape itself is interesting also. 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: 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.
Review: It’s a beautiful writer - smooth and well behaved - One of my favs. Prefer the soft fine for regular use but this soft medium is beautiful, too. It’s a Pilot, it’s a wonderful pen if it’s in your price range

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s a beautiful writer - smooth and well behaved
*by S***R on January 10, 2026*

One of my favs. Prefer the soft fine for regular use but this soft medium is beautiful, too. It’s a Pilot, it’s a wonderful pen if it’s in your price range

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome pilot pen, great Amazon 2nd chance find
*by D***N on August 3, 2024*

It's always a bit nerve wracking to order something as delicate and personal as a pen as an Amazon 2nd Chance item. This exceeded expectations. Original packaging had clearly been carefully opened but was undamaged. Pen was not inked prior, and the nib and section are absolutley Pilot Factory perfect. Pilot size 743 Custom has a much nicer, more flexible gold nib than my current well traveled Pilot 742 Custom. Just fits my large hand perfectly, and is a smoother writer even with fine medium nib than my Pelikan M1000. Push botton Converter works flawlessly, and holds enough ink for several weeks of journaling. What a pleasure! Great clear, fine line, not a bit hesitant or scratchy - just a wonderful, pleasant writing experience.
