[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 539301, member: 1365"] I think the Namiki design is still in production. There are currently two versions of the Vanishing Point, one slightly larger (fatter?) than the other. One is still called the Namiki Vanishing Point by some vendors while others call it the Pilot Vanishing Point. As far as I know these pens are essentially identical and the Namiki might just be old stock still being sold after Pilot changed their branding of the pen. THEN there’s the Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo...slimmer and lighter than the original. There are also other retractable fountain pens out there, as well as Chinese clones of the Pilot...but I don’t think they’re trying to fool anyone, just offering a cheaper pen via Chinese labor. If you decide to order anything straight from Japan, know that it would come with no warranty. Be careful and know exactly what it is that you are buying. [/QUOTE]
