How does the Sailor 21k Gold Nib Performs?

[@SamuelNaldi]

So, what are your thoughts and experiences on the Sailor 21k Gold Nib of Sailor?

[@Mutzebuhugu]

Smooth writing experience with feedback I would say, I love their nibs, especially EF, F and MF. I prefer the Pro Gear and the Pro Gear KoP

[@SamuelNaldi]

@@Mutzebuhuguyes, same here! Thanks for sharing

King of Pen is definitely on my grail list. Love the green one you have!

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thank you 🙏🏼

King of Pen all day... I have both KOP and 1911L Demonstrators. The size of the KOP NiB is very captivating.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Yes indeed! 🙏🏼

The 1911 REALO is truly the best first fountain pen a person can own. It was my first one, and now I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my KoP.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Totally agree Mathis!

The 1911 Sailor, is a beautiful writing experience! I have a medium nib and I love the feedback

Sailor 1911L/Pro Gears all the way for me, especially the medium fine nibs! It's so versatile and the grip girth is just right. Lays down enough to ink to look exciting, but still fine and controlled enough to be used on really cheap paper. I love my Pro Gear Autumn Sky and pretty much my "For life" pen.

Dream experience. I cherish the cigar shaped black with hold troms 1911 Nag. Togi broad nib, and just as much the KOP in teal turquoise. The second has that gorgeous nib, and yes, I enjoy using this large pen as I have long, pianist's fingers.

I absolutely love Sailor pens. Some recommendations are contingent on what price you can secure them but the Realo is IMO very underrated and perfect for anyone that wants a good piston filler with a Japanese writing experience.

I don’t have a KOP but Sailor pens are my favorite. I own a 1911L Realo x-fine and a 1911L 2021 pen of the year in medium-fine. The one that I always have inked and never skipped a heart beat is the Realo. Better than my most expensive other pens.

😍

[@herrkeks8509]

I definitely prefer large nibs. So my pick would be the KOP, but that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t appreciate it being accompanied by a Pro Gear in a fun color.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Very cool! 🔥

Me gusta el 1911, sobrio y clásico.

The King is amazing, but I just can't at this point. I would definitely look for a sweet, older 1911 21k. I love that size and would enjoy one of the galaxy pens a lot!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Dear Colin!

So far the most enjoyable Sailor in 21k was F. , when it comes to Medium 21k its just weird its sizewise closer to western medium, and also feels different than 14k medium. Its much smoother than 14k and has less feedback and is much broader. Ironically its too smooth for my taste. When I am gonna grab a sailor I would probably opt for 21k EF, because I feel that Sailor does the extra fine nibs very well. I have also 14k EF and its perfect pencil-like EF. As I have buckets of pens, I would probably go for specialty nibs like Naginata or Fude. I am kinda afraid that KOP would be too broad for me and too smooth.

Thank you so much for sharing this! ♥️

I have all the gold Sailor nibs. The 14k is great, and the small 21k is greateer. But the large KoP 21k is MUCH superior to the others, softer, a little bouncy, smoother, and with just a touch of flexibility. Still precise. It's my ultimate pen. Personally I think they are all overpriced but I just pay it anyways. I would advise trying one out before purchase.
