Product Description
Type Capless fountain pen -- the nib retracts like a ballpoint. The Decimo is a slightly slimmer version of Pilot's Vanishing Point retractable fountain pen - the diameter at the grip of the VP is 11.8mm, whereas the Decimo's grip diameter is 10.6mm. Additionally, the Decimo is lighter - 20.6g vs. 30g for the VP. If you love the retractability and ease of deployment of the Vanishing Point, but it's just a touch too big or heavy, the Decimo may be a better fit for you.
