Description

Discover the Sailor 1911 King of Pens Ringless Tamenuri Umi Fountain Pen, a rare and refined embodiment of Japanese craftsmanship and philosophy. Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, this exclusive Europe-only release is crafted using the ancient Tame-sukashi urushi lacquer technique, known for its layered transparency and mesmerizing depth. With only 75 units available in Medium or Broad nibs, and 25 featuring Sailor's highly coveted Naginata nib, this luxury writing instrument is a true collector’s item.

Rooted in the Japanese aesthetic of Mono no Aware—the wistful appreciation of life’s transience—this pen evokes the emotional resonance of fleeting moments. The deep blue tones of the Umi ("sea") design and the absence of ornamental rings create a minimalist elegance that honors both tradition and impermanence. Paired with Sailor Blue accents, the pen symbolizes a journey through time and emotion, offering a writing experience steeped in reflection and meaning.

Each King of Pens model is handcrafted from premium ebonite, a natural resin prized for its warmth, texture, and elasticity. Fitted with an oversized 21K solid gold nib—crafted entirely in Sailor’s Hiroshima-based factory—this pen delivers unmatched writing performance and responsiveness. As the pinnacle of Sailor’s century-long dedication to quality and innovation, the 1911 King of Pens Umi is not just a fountain pen, but a timeless work of art.

Complete pile of shite

Bought a Gravitas Monster. Kept in pen sleeve in padded case. Used carefully. Treated carefully. Filled twice. Noticed ink all over my hand. No obvious problem. When home I emptied the pen and notice a thin crack in the barrel at the "turning knob" end, just before the aluminium. Now unusable. Ink seeping out. Complete waste of money. Complete crap. Either desire flaw, or poor materials or both. Watch out. Will never buy another Gravitas POS, nor from this retailer again.

Quality engineering

I skipped the original aluminum Monster mainly due to fear of slipperiness. I've had issues with other aluminum pens and I seem to recall multiple reviewers mentioning such with the aluminum Monster. I heard no such complaints for the stone washed titanium one so I eventually went for it. I'm glad I did!

The large broad nib is silky smooth, the matte finish comfortably grippy, the vacuum filling system well made and the ink capacity very impressive. The body is nice and thick and feels suitably hefty. I also like the look of the matte finish. Matte doesn't seem to be quite as common in fountain pens as all kinds of shiny finishes (which can obviously be great too!) so it's nice whenever it's an option.

I'm not used to pens without any kind of roll stop but at least on my shall we say busy desk the Monster is quite safe from falling. I'm not sure if the Ultem in this one is supposed to be sturdier than the acrylic in some other versions or not but better be safe in any case.

Shipping was quick and secure and included a traditional handwritten letter from Emy. Thank you!

Gravitas Vac 2

The construction of the Vac 2 is flawless. The textures of the materials and it's simple lines display an elegant beauty. The large steel nib delivers a pleasant writing experience and also provides a bit of flex.

Amazing Pen! Gravitas makes one of the best piston fillers out there. I dont keep the nib and normally use the pen for coustom flex nibs with Jowo #6 compatible nib units. So, i really cant speak on the nib. However, this pen is just built with high quality components. The weight, feel, and overall aesthetics are unmatched. You wont find better at this price point.

Platinum Sansui - Smooth Operator

I recently acquired the Platinum Maki-e Sansui pen in a Medium nib. The Pen Venture team was kind enough to carefully inspect and tune this pen before sending it on to me. Many thanks for that. It writes very smoothly and with a steady flow of ink. The Medium nib is my favorite nib configuration from the Platinum brand. The line width is nice and thin and always writes consistently right of the box. This lovely Maki-e pen was no different. I highly recommend it.
