Sailor 1911L Black RT Naginata Togi Fountain pen

Honouring Sailor’s foundation year, the 1911L (large)  fountain pen marries an effortless writing experience with a classic design of rounded curves. The iconic fountain pen of Sailor features a glossy black resin barrel and cap, complemented by silver colored metal details. It comes equipped with Sailor's legendary rhodium-plated 21k gold nib with a Naginata Togi nib grind available in three nib sizes.

This special Sailor Naginata Togi nib allows to write with a thin line when holding the pen vertically upright, or with a thicker line when holding the pen at a lower writing angle. In this way it’s similar to a Sailor Zoom nib. It also is ground so that it writes thicker on the cross stroke and thinner on the down stroke, like an Architect nib. It’s really a blend of Zoom and Architect, which is quite unique and not available from any other pen manufacturer.

The special engraved metallic centerband infilled with resin using the special Cloisonné technique signifies the special nib.

The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Sailor 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.

Sailor pens was established in 1911 in Japan, becoming the first to produce fountain pens in their home country. They have subsequently built a first-class reputation in the manufacture of the highest quality nibs, with all parts made in their own factory in Hiroshima. Their flagship collections are the classic 1911 and boldly designed Professional Gear, all available with a 14k or 21k gold nib. The Sailor name comes from founder Kyugoro Sakata's British sailor friend who introduced him to fountain pens.
