I especially liked your ‘Nutshell’ graphic. Let’s go with that.I like what Sailor is up to with their pens, and the 1911 Standard was a great one for me to start with. The section, finial, and end cap are all made from the same black plastic, and are all set off from the pen body by single gold rings.The cap sports two gold cap bands, one fairly thin and unmarked, the other thicker and engraved with SAILOR JAPAN FOUNDED 1911.The gold-colored clip is wider where it attaches at the finial, and quickly tapers to a narrower strip with a rounded-off end. I definitely intend to try out F and M nibs to see how they compare to the EF.If you’re interested in exploring first-tier, high-end pens, the Sailor 1911 is a fantastic one to consider.Fantastic review!! It’s comfortable to write with, and the super-fine-but-still-juicy nib puts down a wonderful line of ink. I haven’t suffered any cramping or other discomfort, even when writing for extended periods. I’ve checked the tines about 40 times to make sure they’re aligned (they are), but the nib has some pretty strong feedback that borders on scratchy at times (well, it’s not quite to the level of being “scratchy,” but it’s rough enough for me to get nervous when it happens).I’m hoping that this can be attributed to it being an extra fine, because it’s an otherwise amazing nib. A nice design element of the clip is the raised, steppe-shaped surface down the center of the clip. would be better all things considered. Maybe it’s becauseOf course, there’s nothing rational about an obsession, so it’s kind of stupid for me to try to figure out where it’s coming from. Dippin’ my toes into the higher-end waters to bring you the…I’m starting to get obsessed with Sailor — and I’m not sure why. A large pen (to me) is one that is comparable to a Montblanc 149.This gives the nib a bit of line variation and a lot of character, though you definitely have to find the sweet spot to avoid scratchy writing and corner snags.If you prefer a smoother writing experience, I’d suggest a stub, but I’m really enjoying the crispness of this italic grind.Stormy Sea comes in a typical Sailor dark blue clamshell box—no super fancy packaging for this pen.The pen is a typical cigar shape with rhodium trims on the cap, grip, and barrel. Sailor recently launched a new, full-size 1911 ballpoint pen and the folks at Pen Chalet were kind enough to provide me one for review. (I have a weakness for black/gold).The nib / feed is what really shines. Is that an oxymoron? I started with a Pro Gear Slim (to save some bucks I guess) and though I loved the nib (M), the pen was too short for extended sessions and maybe the section was too narrow (?). The brand is a love it – or hate it, with most people falling into the “love it” side, I believe.
I should just accept it, empty out my 401K, and go on a Sailor buying spree. The fit is perfect, and the finish mostly so.The only real thing I can find to gripe about (and it’s a small gripe), is the existence of injection molding seams on the section and the parts of the barrel that are hidden by the cap (when the pen is closed). Or “first-tier, high-end pen”. Sailor is a brand that is associated with some high-level quality, and perhaps to some, diehard fans. I think a lot of this is due to the converter, which has a wide opening for ink to enter the feed channel. Makes comparisons among pens much easier. But at $156, I’d expect to see no seams in the plastic and have a slightly smoother nib (I enjoy tooth in a nib, but a little more polish would be nice). They all have the same traditional, nondescript cigar shape that’s eerily common in Japanese fountain pens. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! It wasn’t very comfortable to write like that and my handwriting was a mess, but it gives me hope that the tooth is nothing to worry about.If this pen was less expensive, I could forgive the small details I pointed out. I’ve looked at the Waverly nib, but I’m afraid it would be too broad for me. The feedback doesn’t affect the writing at all. For some reason, Japanese manufacturers often stick with traditional designs and put most of the focus on their nibs. View fullsize. Sailor’s 1911 line of pens come in three sizes: the Standard (a.k.a. I would think a Platinum SF in Chartres Blue or Bourgogne Red(it would be a crime to get it in black!) I can attest to the juicy, but I’m not really seeing the smooth. Profit), the Large, and the King of Pen (which comes with a huge jump in price over the other two sizes). I only have one Sailor pen (this one). But it’s a handsome nib, nonetheless.Other than the nib, the materials used are nothing really special, but they’re machined and assembled impeccably. I’m sure part of my obsession stems from the fact that Sailor’s EF nibs are extremely fine, but I don’t know what else could be fueling my obsession.
