Overview

The Pilot Capless Decimo in red brings polished red lacquer and rhodium-plated accents to the slimmer, lighter form of the retractable fountain pen.

Decimo arrived in 2005 as the tenth generation of the Capless. Its aluminum body makes the fountain pen narrower and lighter than the regular model, with red lacquer and rhodium-plated accents completing this version.

The rhodium-plated 18k gold nib extends at the push of a button and retracts behind an internal shutter, so there is no separate cap to handle. The fountain pen accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink, with a converter included.

Made in Japan, it measures 139.5 mm long. The barrel is 11.7 mm wide, and the pen weighs 20.6 g.

Questions & Answers

What makes the Decimo a slimmer and lighter Capless?

Decimo uses an aluminum body to make the Capless format slimmer and lighter while retaining the push-button mechanism. This version weighs 20.6 g and has an 11.7 mm barrel width.

How does the Capless work without a separate cap?

Press the button to extend the nib for writing, then press it again to retract it into the barrel. An internal shutter closes over the retracted nib to help protect it from drying out.

Which cartridges and converter fit this Capless?

It accepts Pilot IC-50 ink cartridges or a Pilot CON-40 converter for bottled fountain pen ink. A converter is included.

Can I rinse the whole pen when cleaning it?

No. Flush the removable writing unit with clean water and keep the outer housing and barrel out of the water. Clean the lacquered exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Great pen and service!

Une merveille

Parfait en ce qui me concerne car le Decimo est plus maniable et léger que les Capless classiques et légèrement moins gros. L'agrément de l'écriture avec la souplesse de la plume en fait un des stylos (en pointe fine) des plus agréables, pourtant j'ai bien d'autres stylos plumes très haut de gamme mais celui-ci fait vraiment partie de mes préférés. J'en recommanderai un autre si Pilot en produisait avec le manche en bois ou en nacre comme pour les modèles classiques. Donc c'est un stylo plume fait pour écrire sans modération.

Su atención fue exquisita, y la pluma Pilot décimo retráctil me encanta, ¡la escritura es tan agradable…! Estoy muy contenta. Gracias 😊

Pilot capless decimo

Parfait, la plume fine est plus adaptée que la medium lorsque l'on écrit sur des carnets par exemple, ou que l'on a une petite écriture. La plume glisse aussi bien que la medium! Le seul point noir est la livraison FedEx. Ils font obligatoirement deux tentatives de livraison, deux jours consécutifs avant que l'on puisse venir chercher le colis en centre FedEx, et ils sont injoignables.

Livraison au top & produit génial!

Livraison très rapide via le site!

Concernant le produit lui-même : j'étais impatiente de recevoir ce stylo plume et ce n'était pas en vain. L'écriture est très confortable et agréable ! Je suis gauchère (underwriter) et la plume ne gratte pas du tout - abonnée aux crampes à la main, je redécouvre le plaisir d'écrire sans désagrément. J'en achèterai probablement un autre dans le futur pour compléter ma collection :)
J'ai pris la plume B (broad/large) par goût personnel mais sur des petits carreaux, la plume est un peu trop large et je recommande plutôt une plume moyenne/medium pour celleux qui écrivent sur des petits carreaux ou papier "pointillé".

Love it

Fabulous pen. Slimmer than the original fatty, but comfortable to use, even for a leftie. Writes very smoothly (Diamine ink) and starts first time.
