    Cool Amazing Vanishing Point

    I really, really love the blog Crónicas Estilográficas - I was super happy when the Geeks featured it on the mainpage. I really think it's my favorite pen blog ever. I am constantly amazed by some of the pictures and posts by Bruno Taut, the author. I read a TON of pen blogs pretty much every day and this blog is like no other.

    Today he features a Pilot Capless (Vanishing Point) DEMONSTRATOR!!!


    Those don't exist! That's so freakin' cool.

    Has anyone ever seen one of these?

    Amazing - just wanted to talk to someone about this since my wife really doesn't care.

    Nope, I had not seen one until now. Thanks for pointing that out!

    And, it appears to have no clip to be annoyingly in the way. Eric would be happy.

    you misread--the platinum Knock is a different pen--not the demo.

    Pretty sure it is definitely a Pilot Capless. It's my understanding that "Vanishing Point" and "Capless" are essentially interchangeable names especially outside the Japanese market.

    Platinum isn't involved.

    Indeed, the text contrasts the pen with the Knock, a completely different - and possibly more rare - pen.
