- I. AM. SO. HAPPY. This pen is 100% a grail pen for me. I have been on the hunt for a green and gold pilot vanishing point or pilot capless for almost 3 years. I am so happy to have purchased this lovely pen from Yoseka Stationery. Let me just say, it is AMAZING. I am also very glad to be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the pen's debut in Taiwan. Okay, I won't say much else because the beauty of this pen deserves to be in video form.

Congratulations on your new GRAIL pen!! It's absolutely gorgeous! The information booklet is written in Mandarin, it is a message from Pilot Taiwan " Thank you for your continuous support of Pilot Taiwan, on this momentous occasion we present the limited edition 30th Anniversary brand new matte green Capless which is a click retractable style fountain pen. From this day forth, here at Pilot Taiwan we will continue to work hard to fulfill the expectations of luxury stationery users. The Capless series is the world's first retractable fountain pen. Since its debut in 1963, it has always been one of the most coveted fountain pens on the market. With a press of a button, the Capless turns into a writing instrument and when the nib is retracted it is contained in a controlled tightly sealed environment preventing ink from drying and leaking. Because of this innovation and sophistication, the Capless has become a favourite and held in high esteem in Taiwan." (I did my best, hope it makes sense!)
Edit: the gold writing at the very bottom lists the contents of this 30th Anniverasry Box Set.
😭 You are amazing!! Thank you for sharing this ❤️️
So beautiful, I finally caved on a vanishing point recently and actually rarely use it so that’s funny….
Also thank you for being transparent about the price. My new hot take for the planner community is: be upfront with how much they are spending on supplies and stickers.
Thank you!! I try to be as transparent as I can :) I know that the planner community can be very consumeristic.
Thanks for the shoutout, Danielle! :D This Vanishing Point is so lovely!! It's just as great as the bamboo one due to it being Matte! The bamboo one was also the one I wanted, lovely colors and love the name for it! This one is perfect at the price point we can afford and is globally available! XD All your fangirling is well appreciated and welcomed!!! :D Hope you're enjoying and loving it a ton!
You are so welcome! I hope you're enjoying yours too!! I watched your video at least 10 times while I waited for mine in the mail haha 😂
@@mydandeliondiaries Hahaha, I love that! :) always fun to keep rewatching a pen you're just eyeing so much before it becomes yours for real! :D
Watching you write with this gorgeous pen, I can imagine the smoothness of the nib.
It is amazing!!
nothing can go wrong when it comes to Taiwan!❤
and their current political party is called “green party” as well🎉🎉
What a fun fact!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️️
OMG, the ink combo is perfect. Congratulations on such a beautiful pen.
Thank you so much! ❤️️❤️️
This is gorgeous! It is nice to see that they brought the color back. I have a green Namiki capless fountain pen I bought for my husband 32 years ago. It has silver trim and a plastic/resin body. I like yours better! Congratulations!
Oooo I think green and silver would look great together too! Thank you for watching! ❤️️
I don't usually like green, but that is a gorgeous pen!!!
Thank you! ❤️️
This pen is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! I have been ogling it something fierce. So happy for you!
Thank you so much! It is such a stunning pen!
Also really like the atmosphere of the video and the song choice. Very serene and relaxing
OMG that is stunning!!!
Thank you!
That pen is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations❇
Thank you so much!!
I loved this video! This is one of the pens on my Christmas list and I think my girlfriend might be getting it for me.
Thank you for sharing the joy and excitement of getting this beautiful pen!
Glad you enjoyed it! This pen would be a wonderful Christmas gift!
STUNNING! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you!!
what a beautiful green color. Perfect match for the Galen. Congrats! :)
I think so too! Thank you so much!!
Ooh, it's so pretty! ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Congrats on your grail pen! It is absolutely stunning 🥹
Thanks so much! ❤️️
Ahhh what a gorgeous pen. ❤
Thank you!
Congratulations! Such a gorgeous pen! I have the "Stormtrooper" VP/Capless, but it's a bit troublesome. Your genuine enthusiasm has forced me to revisit my pen with the hopes of reviving it! Thank you!
Best of luck!! I hope you can revive it :)
@@mydandeliondiariesThank you very much!
That's so pretty
I'm happy for you, and envious. It's a beautiful pen, especially compared to my 'ordinary' VPs; black w gold trim, a VP Raden Galaxy black SE with Silver trim; a VP blue carbonesque with silver trim, and finally, a red Decimo with silver trim. All these pens have silver 18k nibs in M, except for one stub.
Having used them all for awhile, I prefer the Decimo because it is the slimmest, and has the stub nib (tho that doesn't matter because the entire nib units are interchangeable).
As soon as I finished watching this, I went to the Yoseka Stationery site, intending to buy one. ALAS! Sold out!
Check out Muse pens!! I've heard some other creators were able to get a unit from them :) The VP Raden Galaxy Black is another one I would love to have, the sparkles are so pretty!
Beautiful pen! I think Diamine Green Umber would be a perfect match.
Ooooo I will have to try that out. I was thinking Diamine Sherwood Green would be close too.
Pen twins! This was my first "nice" pen, I've never slapped the buy now button so fast lol. I was wanting a VP with gold hardware for a long time 😊
Yay!! I'm so happy for you! I hope that Pilot sees the demand for gold hardware and comes out with more colors in the future :)
needle+cartridge might be the ultimate move
It is my go to for Pilot pens, the Con 40 is just awful :(
I saw @KenChanKrafts video. I fell in love with this pen then. I totally wish I could afford this pen. I don't own a vanishing point, but this would be my first one.
It is a bit pricey. Not something I normally spend but the opportunity was there for me. I hope they come out with a green and gold hardware as a standard color in their line up. That way it is priced much like the other VPs.
Wow its gorgeous!!! I just ordered one. Lets see what number I get.
Oooo yay!! We will be pen cousins!
What a marvellous fountain pen! I'm a little bit jealous ... but I hope you enjoy it! 😁 But nonetheless I do love my Pilot Custom 743 - with the Con-40. It's really not the best converter, but with the right technique you can do a full fill.
I have written with it almost every day 😅 You will have to teach me the ways of a full fill on the CON-40, I have tried so many things 😂
@@mydandeliondiaries I'm using the method shown by Goulet Pens in one of their videos: czcams.com/video/NjrROos9g_o/video.htmlsi=MwiKEtzgcKEMH957&t=224
Enjoy your new pen!!
Thank you so much!!
@mydandeliondiaries maybe a strange question, but are you dutch? Because you said something about seeing instructions in dutch..? 😄
@@ilananl1004 No haha 😅 I think the Dutch language is very interesting! The letters and characters and pronunciation is very unique to me 😄I like languages in general 😊
@@mydandeliondiaries hahaha, well i am dutch, so i was like: what did she just say?! The funny thing was also that i just saw on a dutch ebay like website, that bamboo capless you mentioned for half the price. And an hour later you posted this video… but with the dark matte green, i think you might have found a much nicer grail pen than the bamboo capless :-) i’m still on the lookout for a capless or decimo myself but i’m only allowed to browse for a long while. Because i just spend waaay too much on a limited edition Pilot Elite in blue and am completely in love with the various vintage Elites as well so i now have several in different nib sizes. But the feel of the writing experience is addicting. Also the new, now available Pilot Elite/E95s in M. So buttery soft and smooth! And I suspect the decimo/capless nibs have a similar feel. It used to be that the pilot custom 823 was my grail pen. But now that i have it, i much prefer the writing experience of my Pilot Elite (m) or custom 74 m. Maybe that will change once i have a capless? A very long way of telling you that i can relate to the joy of finally having a grail pen in your hands! With the custom 823 it was disappointing because i did not have an OMG writing experience but i did with my Elite in M. Just a few more days and i hopefully i will have the same experience with the blue Elite 😊 look forward to your end of the month video and your thoughts after writing with your beautiful pen for a couple of weeks!
This is my first capless/vanishing point because I was holding out for the perfect color. So happy I waited.
Hope you enjoy it! It really is the perfect color.
@@mydandeliondiaries the color is beautiful but I wish I got a broader nib.
@@Instaraxx luckily you can get replacement Nib units! I believe Yoseka carries them 😊
Not sure how to say this, but I am no longer allowed to watch your videos because as my husband says, you convince me to buy too many things!!! LOL 🤣🤣😂 I debated this pen for a hot minute and then saw your video and you totally convinced me. I did get into a small amount of trouble when I fessed up to the price I spent on it, but YOLO!!!
As a fountain pen newbie, I LOVE your content and cannot say enough good things. I get so excited when I see a video from you and please know you are truly appreciated!
Thank you so much Teri!! I hope you're not too much in the dog house 🙈 it is a beautiful pen and I'm sure you will love writing with it! Tell your husband it's good for a lifetime so he feels better about the price haha ❤️
GAH!!! It just came today and it is STUNNING! I am super happy with my decision and thank you so much for sharing and "convincing" me to get it. @@mydandeliondiaries
SHE IS BEAUTY SHE IS GRACE
🥰🥰🥰
Love the green . So how much did u pay for it ?
It was ~$300USD which is a bit high for my pen price range. But for a pen I have wanted for years I felt it was a good purchase :)
❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t get mine to write after inking it that way
Usually you have to leave the pen nib down for a little bit to get the ink to flow. I also dip the nib into the ink sometimes to start the process of getting the ink to flow down the converter/cartridge.
Will this be available globally? Like here in the philippines
I'm not sure. I purchased mine from Yoseka Stationery in the USA.
@@mydandeliondiaries thank you for the response. I came across @kenchankrafts vlog and he recommended muzepens shop. I was able to source mine yesterday. I'm really sold on this vp as your review is compelling 😊 thank you again
Price point???
I purchased it from Yoseka Stationery. At the time it was close to $300
