The Elite 95s is a newer model released by Pilot a few years back but is based on the 1975 model of the Pilot Elite so there is history to the design. You may see it also referred to as the Pilot E95s which is how it’s marketed here in the US. The only difference is the E95s has a script “E” on the cap whereas the Elite 95s has “Elite” on the cap. The pen is a compact pen, more commonly known as a pocket pen. For those who aren’t familiar with pocket pens, they are small and compact when capped but extend to a full-size length when posted. The Kaweco Sport series of pens is probably the most well-known pocket pen and the Elite 95s is comparable in size and weight to the plastic-bodied Kaweco Classic Sport. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend putting it your pocket with your keys and change as I think it could mess the finish up, plus the clip itself could snag on your keys or pocket. If you do want to throw it in your pocket I recommend putting it in a sleeve of some sort. The cap on the Elite 95s slides over the body of the pen, similar to a snap-cap pen and even though it doesn’t snap into place it is very secure when capped and posted. There is some sort of tension mechanism on the inside of the cap that helps it stay in place and it does an excellent job. There isn’t a defined grip section on the Elite 95s, instead the body tapers slightly towards the nib so the pen is comfortable to hold regardless of where you grip your pens.
Nib:
The nib, oh the nib. I’m gonna ruin the surprise, I LOVE the nib. It is a 14K gold inlaid nib and writes extremely smoothly. The nib has literally no response. I would put it closer to my Pilot Metropolitan medium nib as far as how smoothly it writes. The nib is a little on the soft side and it is possible to get some line variation with some pressure but it is not advertised as a soft or flexible.
PICTURE COMES IN F NIB BUT ACTUAL NIB IS EF
Filling system:
The Elite 95s is a cartridge/converter pen and only accepts Pilot’s proprietary size, though it will only take the CON-20 squeeze-type converter. The metal portion on the CON-50 prevents it from being able to fully seat into the back of the feed. The big downside to this is that there is no way to see the ink level, unless you use cartridges and then you are limited in ink choices if choose not to refill your cartridges. To replace the cartridge or converter the small end cap on the back of pen unscrews.
Overall i love the Pilot Elite 95s, I highly recommend the pilot Elite 95s. You won\'t be Number: FES-1MM-DR-EF
