I was bought a new pen at Christmas. A Pilot Capless in Matt Black. Lovely pen and I love the Namiki blue ink, I haven’t written in blue since before I was a teenager. I wanted a protective pen case for it but I couldn’t find anything I liked. I then looked further afield and came across this stainless steel cigar case on eBay. It only cost a few quid so v happy. It wasn’t a perfect fit but I reduced the interior dimensions with a few leather wads, one at each end. In order to further protect it I then added a leather insert to it. The only downside is I can’t include a spare cartridge.
