## Description

Pilot Kakugo fountain pen, extra fine nib, clear barrel, clear cap, Black ink, single pen (10816) great for helping novice fountain pen users develop their writing skills.

Review: Incredible value. Beautiful nib. An absolute joy with the right paper. Not fun with the wrong paper - love love but also meh. Incredible value and beautiful stuff. but the nib is indeed very scratchy. It can really become difficult to use if you do not have the right paper. this nib really must have smooth paper and a very nicely flowing ink. then its an absolute joy. And i did put this extra fine nib in the pilot and thats a really fun experience and just a beautiful piece to carry around and use. but when you write on some paper with just barely too much tooth or its kind of old paper or its been shuffled around a whole lot, this nib struggles and becomes too annoying to use. For journaling, this nib is absolutely lovely. The pen itself - the clear barrel - its fine for what it is. it is exactly what you think it will be and it does that perfectly fine.
Review: Cheap price and excellent quality! - I purchased this pen around a month or so ago. The extra fine nib writes smoothly without any issue, and the ink is fairly easy and simple to refill. I've used both cartridges and a converter and have found no issues so far. As of now, I'm currently using Pilot's con-70 converter alongside their blue black ink. The pen body is made of plastic and is relatively comfortable to hold in my hands. The only thing I have a complaint with is that if I decide to mindlessly leave the pen upside down and capped when no longer in use, the ink tends to leak into the cap. However, this is easily solved by just remembering to place it upright so no biggie. Additionally, some of the ink gets stuck in the grip section, but maybe some maintenance on the pen could clean a bit of it off. I'm actually surprised with how durable the pen could be. I accidentally left it in one of my pockets, so it was thrown into the washing machine. When I found it again after, I was lucky to find that there was no damage to the pen (aside from a bit of water getting stuck) and no ink had leaked into the clothes. This is excellent for its cheap price and I would 100% be willing to buy this fountain pen again if I need a replacement! It's honestly one of my favorites to write with as a beginner.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you refill it or is it disposable?**
A: You can refill this, with either a Pilot converter or with a Pilot cartridge.  Pilot uses proprietary converters and cartridges.

**Q: Can the Con-40 converter be used in this pen?**
A: The Con-B, Con-40 and the Con-70 can all be used in the Pilot Kakuno.

**Q: Is the ink waterproof and archival?**
A: Pilot Namiki ink, which is what comes in the cartridge with the pen, is not waterproof or archival. For replacing the ink in the cartridge with permanent, archival-quality, and water resistant ink, I recommend buying Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black Ink, a 3ml luer-lock syringe, and a blunt-tipped dispensing needle at least 3 inches long. 

1. Gently insert the cartridge (JUST BARELY) into the pen, only enough to open the cartridge. Pull it back out, rinse the ink out of the pen, and empty the ink from the cartridge with the syringe and needle. Dispose of the ink, and rinse the cartridge, syringe, and needle with clean water. Shake the water out of the cartridge. You can dry it out with a Q-tip if you don't want you new ink diluted at all.

2. Withdraw ALMOST 1ml of the Registrar's Blue-Black Ink with the syringe, and fill the cartridge with it. 

3. Insert the newly refilled cartridge into the pen, gently but firmly. Set the pen nib-down in a cup , with the cap on, for 5-10 minutes, so the ink can saturate the feed and reach the nib. And don't press too hard if it's still not writing yet. Give it some more time.

**Q: What size cartridge does this pen take?**
A: The PILOT KAKUNO FP takes a PILOT NAMIKI IC100 FOUNTAIN PEN INK CARTRIDGE or a PILOT CON 40 converter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! What a great pen for a cheap price!
*by J***O on November 18, 2025*

I recently resurrected on old fountain pen and become interested in writing with fountain pens again. I purchased a few other pens (Lamy Safari, Scrivener, Pilot Prera). This pen is the cheapest and the best of the bush. It writes really nicely (not the absolute smoothest, but still good), no false starts or missed strokes. It is also really comfortable to hold in your hand, light and slightly fatter than some of the other pens, which I find more comfortable. I've order a couple of others in different colors to use with different inks. Highly recommended pen!
