"Sailor was founded in 1911 in Hiroshima, Japan, by Kyugoro Sakata, becoming one of the country’s earliest fountain pen manufacturers. Renowned for meticulous craftsmanship, Sailor produces many of its gold nibs in-house, including distinctive 14k and 21k options. Popular models such as the 1911 series and the Professional Gear (Pro Gear) line are celebrated for their classic design and writing precision. Their specialty nibs including Music and Zoom are prized for expressive, characterful writing. A Sailor pen appeals to those who value refined feedback, exceptional nib quality, and over a century of Japanese writing heritage."
A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).
Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!

The Leonardo DNA pen is amazing, and it was made better by a personal note and some nib tuning fy Pen Venture. I'm impressed with the service and care, and will be back again when the pen-acquisition-itch hits! Thank you so much!
