This writes about as fine as the pilot penmenship, but is a thousand times
smoother. And you can't beat the convenience of the retractable nib. It is a bit
pricey, but you do indeed get what you pay for. And by that I mean you get A LOT

I got this pen because it is retractable. However, due to the price point I'm
hesitant to take it to work (where I need the convenience of a retractable pen).
The pink Capless Decimo writes smoothly, but I think the Pilot Cavalier may have
a finer line. The clip near the grip is not in my way. The shape of the pen and
the shiny finish makes my fingers slip (even with very dry hands). The Capless
Decimo is a good pen, but I prefer to use the Cavalier.

Oh my! This is such a nice pen - I own one Pilot Vanishing Point but never
really use it because the grip is slightly larger than I like. This pen uses
the exact same nib insert as the Vanishing Point but is better balanced. Love
It!!! If Pilot would introduce this size in the States I honestly believe it
would sell as well as the Vanishing Point but thank goodness JetPens is here to
take care of that void!

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Fine Nib - Pearl White
I have both fine and broad nibs for this version, saying how much I love this
pen. I purchased the broad nib Decimo from Japan since I wasn't aware of JetPens
and thought that Decimo was not sold in the US. Then, I purchased a fine nib
(nib only) from a fountain pen dealer in the US. Decimo, Fermo, and VP share the
same type of nib so one can swap one nib to another pen's barrel easily or have
multiple nibs for one barrel. Decimo is the feather weight among all three, so I
carry it around with me all the time. Fermo can stay on my desk. It would be fun
if JetPens starts selling the nibs and barrels separately.

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Fine Nib - Pearl White
I have this white Capless Decimo and a few other Limited edition Pilot capless /
vanishing point. They are sharing the same type of nibs so I can interchange
different size of nib. I have fine, medium and broad nib but I really love this
fine nib the most. The nib is a little bit flexible, so it give me some unique
character when writing with this pen.
I carry this pen the most since it have a thinner and lighter barrel and the
retractable nib is very convenience to have.

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Medium Nib - Gray
This is one of Pilot's best pens! All Capless/Vanishing Point pens come with
converters so I don't understand the other reviewer's complaint about JetPens. I
bought my Decimo from JetPens. It came with a CON-50 converter and a metal
cartridge cover. Every VP-type nib unit is shipped with a CON-50 converter (in
the early days of Capless pens, they came with a CON-20). JetPens is one of the
very few ways to buy the sleek Decimo in North America. Thank you JetPens!

This review is from
Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Medium Nib - Gray
The pen is fantastic as most Pilot pens are. This one has good weight and an
elegant style. Smooth nib writes a nice wet line. It's a shame JetPens doesn't
send with a converter as most other sellers do - especially with the higher
price here. One of my favorite pens, and I usually prefer piston filling pens,
but this one is fun to own.

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Medium Nib - Gray
This is a beautiful, well-made, light-weight fountain pen with an extremely
smooth medium nib. The gray color is perfect and classy. Also, I prefer the
sleek size of the "decimo" over Pilot's standard-sized Vanishing Point pen.

This review is from
Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Medium Nib - Gray
I bought my Decimo Grey Mica earlier, not at JetPens. It is several months in
everyday use.
Retractable nib is not a gadget only. This pen is really comfortable one hand
operated. You should expect, that "click" movement needed is very deep. But it
is not a problem with quick writing at all, hand learns it in seconds.
Why Decimo not a classical Capless? Decimo barrel is thinner and taller, in my
opinion fits better in hand and looks better too. And 18K nib is really butter
smooth.
As in whole Capless family it is possible to change easily nib/ink supply unit
for another with nib size fine or broad. This unit is an one part piece with
cartridge or converter, that makes whole operation very easy and clean.
I thinh that Decimo is very good and innovative pen!

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Fine Nib - Gray
This pen is excellent. The fine point nib is not too fine, and writes
exceptionally smooth. It is a comfortable and light pen. Very easy to grip and
convenient for the working professional. I have many fountain pens and am
extremely impressed with this pen.

I agree, I generally buy all my pens/drawing materials from Jet... I ended up
getting this very pen in a fine nib but had to another vendor. Incidentally,
it's an awesome pen :)

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Fine Nib - Dark Blue
I love the Decimo as a very practical daily-carry pocket pen. It is a
pocket-friendly fountain pen, with the magnificence of the Namiki Pilot
retractable fountain pen system. I have a Fermo, a Decimo, and a VP. I love them
all! Each is most wonderful for different times. In my opinion, the Decimo in a
greatest fully-functional pocket-carry capless fountain pen I've ever seen (if
you get the "fine" nib. I love a precise pen.)

Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen - 18K Gold Fine Nib - Gray
Very sleek pen with excellant operation. DOES NOT COME WITH CON50 AS PREVIOUSLY
POSTED. Save yourself time and shipping by purchasing it with your Decimo. Tip
is a bit scratchy though to be expected with such a fine nib.
