Sailor King Of Pens ST Resin Fountain Pen

£725.00

The Sailor King Of Pens ST Resin Fountain Pen is. like all of the King of Pen range, a magnificent pen.

Made of sturdy black acrylic resin, it is an oversized pen of great presence, weighing over 30 grm but beautifully balanced so it sits comfortably in the hand.  It features a substantial clip and broad cap band.

The heart of the King of Pen range is the huge 21ct gold nib in medium .  It gives an incomparably smooth writing experience, replenished by either the standard Sailor cartridge or the indefatigable King of Pen Converter - work of art in itself, although still 0.9 mm capacity.

This Pen is new and comes in its original box.

Three companies dominate Japanese fountain pen making, all established in the 1910's and 1920’s, and all motivated by their common desire to develop a superior Japanese counterpart to their Western competitors such as Waterman and Parker. Ironically, the latter companies have lost their once top dog positions in the 'fountain pen world', while Sailor, Pilot and Platinum today represent the Holy Trinity of excellence in writing utensils. The main and defining reason for this accolade is the fact that all three companies supervise their production from beginning to end within their very own factories. No subcontracting ensures total quality control, and private ownership protects their original vision and enthusiasm for pen making.
