Ohhhhh, this is weird: Pilot Pens, one of the most reliable fountain pen brands, no longer shows #FountainPens on their web site. Wonder if they’ve stopped production or sold the business? Or maybe their fountain pens will all be Namiki branding in future? Yikes, I’ll have to give them a call on Monday.

@Hawaii@mastodon.world The USA site seems to have been dumbed down. If you click 'shop brands' on the top then the right arrow a few times you will see vanishing point and custom 74

@Hawaii@mastodon.world @Parker51@mastodon.world Which Pilot website are you looking at? Their global "landing page" has a fountain pen as the first image and the first few international sites I looked at had fountain pens for online ordering. Maybe just a US issue?

@Hawaii@mastodon.world The German Website has the whole range of Capless, Customs and even the Falcon. I hope for you that it is a temporary issue and not caused by the US tariffs.

@Hawaii@mastodon.world In Germany you can still find them on their website.
