Sailor Fountain Pen Professional gear silver 112037420 Middle Point

I really like this pen– it's a nice step up from the Pro-Gear Slim (Sapporo), being a little longer and girthier, and with a larger nib. The body of the pen is made of a nice, solid-feeling plastic, and there are no issues with how the parts fit together. The threading for the cap feels quite smooth, and doesn't cause me any issues when writing. It is a cartridge/converter pen, and mine came with two standard Sailor Jentle black cartridges, but not a converter. The one weakness of this system is the small capacity of Sailor C/Cs. The beautiful 21k bi-colour nib is the main attraction, and it writes superbly. It gives quite a wet line, and the feed keeps the ink flowing flawlessly. The nib is smooth, with a bit of pleasant feedback that lets you feel the surface of the paper. The nib also has a bit of springiness to it, and will give a modest amount of line variation with some pressure. Bear in mind that the Sailor medium is roughly equivalent to a Western fine. Overall, really pleased with the pen, and is currently an excellent price.

Gorgeous pen but only if you like a wet pen. I don’t!…

A noticeable step-up in quality & writing experience over my pro-gear slim, recommended.
