About Sailor:

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.

In the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.

In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.

Just what I wanted

From a Brush Pen Artist

This pen is so fun! I bought one after watching Yoseka's video with an artist showcasing how she used it and just had to have it. I usually draw with brush pens and wanted to give fountain pens a try but still wanted to play with line weight. This was the perfect answer to that! While using it definitely needs some getting used to, the results are totally worth it! It adds a fun look to my sketches and the ink dries pretty quickly. I missed out on the pink but this pen is currently my new favorite! It feels a little "plastic-y" but for my first budget friendly fountain pen, it helped be less precious about using it. I can see some people not liking that detail but I didn't mind it!

Sketch!

This pen is light and fast. It lays down expressive lines - even my bad sketches look as if I knew what I was doing. We all need that, don't we? I do a line drawing and then swish a wet brush over it - lovely. Not so precious that you don't dare take it anywhere for fear of losing it or damaging it. The only negative is that the plastic feels, well, plastic-y. Ok, so, no pretenses. Y'all get one.
