My latest pen order from Japan came in!

Sadly Sailor charges so much for the limited editions which are mostly slims and 14k nibs. I have 2 fine one bitone PG strandard and one rhodium 1911 Large. The Bitone nib I have has amazing feedback. The 1911L is close but much less pencil feel and noise. Stupid they dont come with a converter so I suggest just getting some sailor cartridges and treat them as samples for your Sailors. I do warn people the Sailor are shorter than you might think the 1911 Large is almost the size of a Pilot CH912, The C823 is bigger than the 1911L.

I have a lot to learn about the Sailor nibs but they're really winning me over. I was pretty focused on the more rigid and "formal" pilot nibs so the feel of these sailors is really opening up my mind to what's possible with a great nib. I just tried a Slim and it's a wee bit too small, have a Standard coming in soon I think is going the be the size for me for sure. Thanks for the input!

Lovely pen❤. Any chance you could give us a writing sample of that F nib?

[@skittish1]

It's so comfortable to write with!. I have a video where I ink it up and compare the F and the M. "Inking up my new Sailor 1911 Large." Thanks for watching!

Just got a sailor from Japan. I was surprised how quickly it came to the U.S.

[@skittish1]

Nice! Which Sailor did you get? I was so intimidated ordering my first one directly from Japan, but it's so easy once you find a reliable seller.

You should speed up your presentation a bit. It gets boring.

Thanks for the input, you are absolutely right. I have a lot of work to do and this kind of blunt, honest input is just what's needed. I appreciate you taking the time to give it too!
