Review: Great Pen - Great pen arrived with a converter. I am enjoying writing with it. Review: Another great fountain pen from Pilot. - The Pilot Custom 743 isn’t flashy, and that’s exactly the point. Its classic black, cigar-shaped design is clean, timeless, and purposeful. This pen is about solid build quality, reliability, and everyday performance, highlighted by Pilot’s excellent 14K gold nib. I own several Pilot pens and keep coming back to them because they’re consistently smooth, dependable writers—and the Custom 743 lives up to that reputation. Ink capacity is good with the CON-70 converter, and Pilot ink cartridges are also an option if you prefer them. I tend to favor larger pens for comfort, and this one fits my hand very well. The grip shape and diameter make long writing sessions easy, with no fatigue or hand cramping. Overall, this is a pen I can recommend without hesitation. ## Features - This is standard from 1974 - all essence for writing is here - Beautiful equation : thickness of axis, balanced weight, chic design and condition of nib. - There are various 14 kind nib.

Overall, this is a pen I can recommend without hesitation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pen to end all pens *by R***A on November 21, 2022* I bought the 823 in medium nib because of the hype—plus I really enjoy a nice brown color. It was very enjoyable, but I thought I might like a fine nib better. So I held out until I found this great deal on the 743. It’s everything I thought it would be. The filling mechanism is easier to clean than the vac system of the 823. And the fine nib suits my Jibun Techo better. The seller packages safely and ships quickly considering they’re across the world. I would purchase again! ## Frequently Bought Together - PILOT"CUSTOM 743 / Black" (nib : Fine) - Pilot Fountain Pen Converter (CON-70) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/138104286-pilotcustom-743-black-nib-fine](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/138104286-pilotcustom-743-black-nib-fine) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
