PILOT Custom 823 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen FA Nib (Falcon Nib) (Clear Demonstrator) 

The FA nib (Falcon Nib) is a specialized nib design from Japan’s Pilot, created to emulate the brush-like writing characteristics of traditional East Asian calligraphy. Emphasizing flexibility, resilience, and line variation, it’s especially favored by enthusiasts of cursive script, artistic writing, and Japanese/Chinese character calligraphy.


Features of the FA Nib:

 

  • Highly Flexible, Rich Line Variation: With specially thinned shoulders, the nib responds to writing pressure with dynamic line changes—from extra-fine to broad—mimicking the expressive strokes of a brush.

  • Ideal for Kanji and Japanese Characters: Perfect for capturing the rhythm and strength of strokes like stop (tome), sweep (hane), and press (harai), giving handwriting a vivid, lively feel.

  • Requires Pressure Control: Not recommended for complete beginners. Best suited to experienced writers who can manage angle and pressure to avoid railroading or scratchiness.

  • Compatible Models: Commonly paired with Pilot’s higher-end models such as the Custom 742, 743, and 823.

 


Nib Specifications:

 

  • #15 size 14K gold FA nib, offering superb flexibility and softness—ideal for calligraphy lovers seeking a range from delicate to bold strokes.

 


Filling Mechanism:

Writing Feel:
