Sailor 11-3059-301 Fountain Pen, Four Seasons Weave, Rain Sound, Spring Rain, Medium Point

I went back and forth about ordering this pen - so pretty! But a higher price range than I usually spend. I am SO GLAD I got it. The pen is very small - not even the length of my hand when posted. But I don't mind that, it still feels good in my hand when I write. The purple on the ends is translucent and sparkly. The nib is 21K. While it states the nib is Medium, like other Sailor pens I have, it runs more fine. Getting the Medium gives me the exact writing experience I want. Smooth writing with a touch of feedback. I plan to use this every day. If you are not sure you want to get this, I say go for it if you want a very demure, very mindful, pretty pen that writes really well.

Beautiful pen, it writes very smoothly while having a touch of the signature Sailor feedback.

This is my first gold nib Sailor fountain pen, and it's a model I had been lusting after for over a year. The pen's body is a light green pastel color with purple and gold finials and highlights and it's a color combination that is simply stunning.Most of my gold nib pens are Pilot, which is known for their smooth, almost springy nibs. But i had heard of the legendary Sailor "pencil-like" feedback and was very curious about it, because I've been craving pens with more feedback recently. This Pro Gear Slim pen has a 21k gold nib in a Medium Fine (MF) and it's incredibly smooth yet very stiff, and is definitely a pencil-like feedback, which is absolutely lovely.Part of the smoothness comes from the ink. When I first got the pen, I immediately wanted to "color match" my ink with it, so chose Vinta Mermaid Green "Sirena", which is a multi-chromatic shading ink. And while the ink color matches the pen's body beautifully (see attached pix)...the ink itself is very dry and so made the writing experience equally as dry and not so good.However, when I switched to Sailor Manyo Akebi ink, which is very lubricated and incredibly vibrant color, it totally changed the writing experience, making it smooth and lovely and a joy to write.The pen was a little smaller than I had anticipated, so you would almost always write with the cap posted, which isn't a problem, because it fits perfectly and feels good in the hand. My only complaint with the pen is how small the finger grip...if it was a tiny bit longer, it would be perfect. But as it is, my fingers have to adjust slightly as my normal way of holding a pen puts my fingers on the threading.But overall, I really love this pen. It looks beautiful and with the right ink it is an amazing writing experience.

The sailor nib buzz is real. Their nib is just wonderful to write with. It isn’t scratchy and doesn’t skip. There is just enough feedback to feel connected to the paper, but not enough to be irritatingly rough feeling. A joy to write with. Has that high quality butter smooth feel when writing. It is postable, but doesn’t have a snug grip on the pen. Comes with 2 cartridges of black ink. It does not come with a converter. You will need to buy that separately. Their converters are not standard, so you will have to buy the Sailor brand. Not expensive so that isn’t a problem. Or you can clean out the cartridge and fill it with the ink of your choice using a syringe. Check out the Sailor ink cartridge set - it comes with 4 colors of 3 cartridges each color. And each color comes with a little case to carry those cartridges in your pen case on the go! The pen is a REAL Sailor and comes with all paperwork and box, and everything is in Japanese, as this is coming to you from Japan. Shipping is fast, but it is NOT overnight.

This is a smaller pen that extends to a fairly regular size once posted. It's definitely comfortable for a person with smaller hands like me. The medium gold Nib is gorgeous, but as with all Japanese pens, expect it to be on the finer side vs its European counterparts. Sailor pens are known for their feedback when writing, and that's what many of us like about them. Shipping was fast. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

I wish sailor would make more pens with a matte finish, I love this pen so much! I put Celadon Cat by Diamine in, it's not a wet writer so the writing sample matches perfectly with the body of the pen, I completely forgot to buy a converter but I just emptied out a cartridge it came with and used that. The shipping was also fast! I usually do po box but they deliver straight to your home so I had to update my address which delayed it by 3 days but still fast! It got here in 7 and with the 3 day delay 10! From Japan, that was fast.
