Review: Was so skeptical, but what a mistake t - So I draw Manga and do Urban sketching. I wanted a pen that would do all in one. Thin and thick lines, instead of a bunch off fine liners . I heard about this pen and saw it on here. The first problem I ran into was there was two listed on desertcart. One for $ 224.00 and one for $ 184.00 no matter how many times I read descriptions I couldn’t tell a difference. I even called desertcart ( USA ) support lol and asked them to see if there was a difference, they saw nothing. So I’m not a idiot I ordered cheaper one. Btw which is no longer listed on desertcart. Oh the only difference desertcart saw was cheaper one was a Japanese seller who had their inventory with desertcart so it was still prime and no month long wait to get it. So I always do huge research on major purchases and this time I made the mistake of only reading desertcart reviews, and not my usual YouTube plus online reviews. They were completely mixed from exceptional to total garbage. After I received it I went to YouTube and my heart hit the floor. Almost every review said great writer horrible for drawing, complete railroading due to bad feed design. Plus it’s extremely picky on ink and people said to use only Pilot iroshizuku ink which btw i did get from desertcart. For my work I only use De Atramentis document ink. I reached out to the experts at Goulet pens about my concerns. Brian the owner replied to me stating that the pilot ink would be better but may work with document ink. Also mentioned the drawing problems due to feed and told me about a aftermarket feed which I had seen for 30 dollars. But after a huge investment why should I have to change feed and also void any kinda warranty on pen. So the pen sat on my desk for weeks, with me not knowing what to do. I finally called desertcart with two days left in return window and started the return process. Also giving me 14 additional days to think about it. Well tomorrow is last day to drop it off at UPS store, and this morning I was thinking I should at least try it. Even if it’s garbage I can still return it. I love desertcart, not always the cheapest but get your items in either one or two days and return policy is outstanding. Well I’m so mad at myself for waiting. I filled with document ink, mainly because I tried the Take-Sumi in another pen and felt it looked more gray than black. I’ve never ever written with a smoother pen in my life. I was writing on Deleter Manga paper. Then the big question , the flex of the Fa nib. Let me just say as fast as I could draw something it kept up perfectly. Absolutely no railroading and went from a hairline to about a 1/8” thick with extremely very little pressure. This is the best pen I’ve ever owned. Now I’m not sure I just got a good one and got lucky or what. Secondly I did flush it out with some spring water, maybe that helped. I’ve never flushed any new fountain pens before but one artist on YouTube recommended flushing this one. Thirdly I think I found difference between two listed on desertcart. 90 percent of YouTube reviews stated the middle ring says Pilot Custom Heritage Japan with stars around it. Mine only says Pilot Custom Heritage Japan, no stars. I don’t know if it means mine is older or newer. In conclusion all I can say is this pen is yes extremely expensive for me anyway but if your looking for a pen to draw with getting hairlines and broad lines and a feel that is so smooth this is your pen. Again I’ve never felt something so smooth. It makes me wanna just throw away all my fine liners. I hope if you purchase you’d have same results I did and hopefully I didn’t just get a good one.
Review: Let me just say that the Custom Heritage with FA nib is nothing like the Namiki falcon or the lamy safaris - This pen is an outstanding pen, very soft, and a dream to use for doing calligraphy. Just some info on my background. I'm a recently minted fountain pen enthusiast. Thus far, I've purchased 2 Pilot/namiki Falcons, 3 Lamy Safari's and finally this pen, the Pilot Custom Heritage 912 with the FA nib. The FA nib or the falcon nib is not the same nib as the nib on the Pilot falcon. Let me just say that the Custom Heritage with FA nib is nothing like the Namiki falcon or the lamy safaris. All three have their separate uses. The 912FA is probably the softest modern flex nib you can find at the moment. It is significantly softer than even a broken-in pilot falcon. The FA nib refers to the specific nib of course. Most reviews of the FA nib are usually on the pilot 742. Both the 742 and 912 support the FA nib. Aesthetically I liked the 912 better. Strong points: --Very light, yet expensive and well built feel. --comes with the Con-70 converter for easy ink filling. --softest modern flex pen you can find at the moment, much softer of a nib than the pilot falcon. --outstanding for calligraphy. Weak points: --Unsuitable as a daily writer: nib is too soft for clean small writing, --feed has some trouble keeping up with non-calligraphy uses. Pen skips with fast writing. In my opinion, this is an absolutely outstanding pen, and I am thrilled at my purchase. But in truth, I was probably only able to appreciate it after my first fountain pen purchase with the semi-flex pilot falcon. Slow writing is a MUST with this pen. I use the 912 exclusively for my calligraphy practice which entails slow writing and allows me to bypass any problems with the feed. Getting the most out of this pen means recognizing that the falcon Nib's limitations. If you want to take small notes for a class with this pen, you will likely get frustrated. If however you are looking for the closest thing you can find to a wet noodle in a modern fountain pen, the custom 912 FA is the pen for you. On calligraphy: As much as I love my pilot falcon, this pen is simply superior for calligraphy practice. The nib is softer and smoother than the namiki falcon. It is easier to perform specific delicate techniques as a result of the softer nib. The only thing the pilot falcon may have over the 912 for calligraphy is that the line variation you get with the pilot falcon is arguably greater (i have a pilot falcon fine) In summary: -------------------- If you want a daily writer, consider instead the Lamy Safari. If you want a daily writer that can also do spencerian calligraphy, go for the pilot falcon. If you want the softest nib MODERN fountain you can find, and a great all around calligraphy pen, go for the 912 FA.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the diff from these nibs? i see a fa, wa, and sf nib. not sure what those mean.**
A: FA is for Falcon which is a very flexible nib, WA is for Waverly which is a nib with a slight bend in the end which allows very broad line to thin, SF is for Soft Fine which is Fine with a little more flex than usual

**Q: How fine is it without flexing?**
A: about as fine as the extra fine nib on a LAMY safari. Can't imagine one any finer, if that makes any sense. I think if I get another one, I'd opt for the medium nib.

**Q: How does this pen differ to the pilot custom 912 fa-falcon?**
A: The correct name is "Pilot Custom Heritage 912." If you see it as "Pilot Custom 912" it's an error in the listing. All 912s are Pilot Custom Heritage pens. That means they have blunt ends and a sword clip. This is in contrast to the "Pilot Custom" series which has cigar shaped pens with ball clips.

**Q: Is this an Authorized seller meaning will Pilot accept warranty issues?? Store please answer**
A: Hello.  Thank you for your inquiry.  Matrix Trading Store is not an authorized seller of Pilot Pen products so any warranties are not guaranteed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it
*by L***Y on December 28, 2025*

Have been wanting to try out a falcon nib for a while now. Definitely not a flex nib, but their is a soft bendy quality to this other wise fine medium nib. So fun to play around with. Ink flow is good, but for full effect use a wet ink. Its a lovely pen.
