Other close comparisons are the Custom Heritage 92, Pilot Custom 74, and the Custom 823. The Custom Heritage 92 (CH92) is always a demonstrator and is sold in clear, transparent black, and transparent blue body colors.

The Acroball Pro is a variant of the Pilot Acroball. In fact, it’s essentially the same pen except with a slightly more ornate plastic body, a metal clip, and a metal cone at the front. The standard Acroball is entirely plastic.
Pilot Explorer Fountain Pen
The Explorer is a new fountain pen from Pilot, released in early 2019. It’s very similar to the popular Pilot Metropolitan, but it’s made of a lighter, plastic body. Additionally the Explorer is a bit more expensive then the Metro, it’s lighter, and its wider.
Please note, Pilot had another Explorer, an odd ballpoint pen from the 1990s. That pen is rarely seen these days and seems unrelated to this newly released fountain pen.

The Pilot CON-50 is a fountain pen converter that used to be included with some mid-to-high range Pilot pens. It was replaced by the CON-40 when it stopped being sold in late 2017.
Pilot CON-40 Fountain Pen Converter
The Pilot CON-40 is a proprietary fountain pen converter that fits all of Pilot’s cartridge/converter pens. This includes a wide range of pens but some are the Prera, Metropolitan, Vanishing Point, Cavalier, and Custom 74.
The CON-40 is a plastic, screw-type converter with an ink capacity of 0.4 ml, making it quite small.
Pilot Prera Fountain Pen
The Prera is a mid-range fountain pen from Pilot that sells for about $35. It uses a steel nib and has an acrylic (plastic body) making is similar to cheaper Pilot pens like the Kakuno, but it’s more expensive due to improved aesthetics, nicer hardware, and the including of a Pilot Con-40 converter. Previous generations of the pen came with a Con-50 converter instead.
Pilot Acro 300
The Pilot Acro 300 is a hybrid pen with a classic, elegant design. It’s the 300 JYP version of the full-metal Acro 1000. The Acro line is Pilot’s answer to Uni-ball’s popular Jetstream family of hybrid pens and a excellent modern-day answer to the ballpoint.
In the US, Pilot’s Acro Ball is a much more popular pen than the newer, Japan-focused Acro 300.

Pilot BVRF-8F Acro Multi-pen Refill
The Pilot BVRF-8F, sometimes known as the RF-8 Fine, is a Pilot standard sized refill which is part of Pilot’s Acro line of hybrid inks. In some product descriptions this ink is called a ballpoint ink, but it’s actually a hybrid ink. (Hybrid inks are oil-based so some companies classified them as being ballpoint, but we at Unsharpen believe in making the distinction.)
The Pilot BVRF-8F is 0.7 mm where the Pilot BVRF-8EF is 0.5 mm.
