Description

Sailor Pen is dedicated to crafting the most elegant and desirable writing instruments available. Since 1911, Sailor Pen has upheld a long legacy of quality, excellence, and technical perfection. The writing instruments and nibs are exclusively manufactured at the Sailor factory in Hiroshima, Japan, using the highest quality materials. Sailor nibs are considered by many as the finest writing instruments available worldwide.

By combining the urushi lacquer finish with the popular 1911 Full-Size pen body, the Rei Urushi-nuri series pens are favored by many fountain pen enthusiasts. Sailor Pen Urushi pens are made from ebonite, a natural resin, and meticulously finished by artist Masanora Sumi, who applies 12 layers of Urushi lacquer to each pen, giving each one a unique touch. Ebonite is a warm-to-the-touch material with rich elasticity and a unique texture that adds quality and character to the product.

The pen features a 21-karat gold nib (medium). The Rei Urushi-nuri series writing instruments can be used with both a converter and cartridges, making them easy to use. Each pen comes in a special presentation box and is protected by a textile case.

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.
