Its silhouette is purposeful and refined, with a mirror-black luster that reveals the quiet depth only hand-applied urushi can achieve. For writers who appreciate substance in the hand and an effortless line on the page, this is a flagship expression of Pilot's craft.

Craftsmanship & Design

Shaped from warm, lightweight ebonite and finished with multiple layers of black urushi, the Custom Urushi invites close inspection. The lacquer is applied and polished in Japan to a high gloss that accentuates the pen's clean lines and gentle curvature. Gold-finished trim provides a measured contrast, while the broad cap band and classic clip add heritage cues without distraction. It is a large pen by intent, yet the balance and tactile comfort of the lacquered section keep it approachable for long sessions.

Urushi is valued not only for its depth and glow, but also for its durability. Over time, the finish develops a subtle presence that reflects careful use rather than wear. The screw-cap closure is deliberate and secure, with threads that engage smoothly and a cap that seals well to preserve ink and nib readiness between writings.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Custom Urushi is Pilot's No. 30 18k gold nib, a rare attribute in modern production pens. Tuned for consistent flow and understated control, it lays down a confident line with a hint of responsive spring rather than overt flex. The generous feed keeps pace during faster notes and sweeping signatures alike. Available in Medium-Fine, Medium, and Broad, each width showcases the nib's hallmark smoothness while maintaining the precision for which Pilot is known.

The pen uses Pilot's proprietary cartridge-converter system and is compatible with the high-capacity Con-70 converter. This pairing suits the nib's appetite for consistent ink delivery and offers practical flexibility for those who rotate colors or travel. In hand, the lacquered section provides gentle traction, and the overall weight remains comfortable despite the pen's commanding size.

Heritage & Provenance

Pilot has been shaping the language of Japanese fountain pens since 1918, with urushi work forming a throughline from early Namiki artistry to contemporary flagships. The Custom Urushi sits where daily usability meets traditional finishing, honoring historic techniques while embracing modern reliability. It is a pen made to be written with, yet it carries the quiet culture of Japanese lacquer to every desk it graces.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
