during my first visit to japan several years ago, i picked up a bunch of goodies including one of my favorite items – a pilot petit1 fountain pen. unfortunately, i lost that pen and had been searching all over for them ever since. to my disappointment i found out they had been discontinued.

i did a quick search recently and learned pilot was planning to reboot these pens. i went over to jetpens and sure enough they had them in stock! i snatched up a few of them along with a bunch of other pens and stationary items, such a kokuyo buncobon dot cover notebook (my moleskin alternative) which i carry with me to work everyday.

i received my package the other day. thanks elizabeth and the jetpens team! pictured below from left to right:

although there a few differences between the old and new (ie – colors), this pen is awesome because it’s so compact. here is a close up of the pilot petit1 fountain pen:
