Sailor

Founded in 1911 in Hiroshima, Japan, Sailor produced Japan's first fountain pen and has since earned legendary status for its unparalleled nib quality. Sailor nibs are tuned by hand in the company's Hiroshima factory, delivering a distinctive feedback that enthusiasts describe as "pencil-like" smoothness. The Pro Gear and 1911 series are iconic designs that balance traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern functionality. Sailor is also celebrated for its extraordinary range of specialty nibs, including the sought-after Naginata Togi and Cross Point grinds.
