Sailor King Cobra
|
||
|
There were twenty-four of these made. This
is the only one we have ever had and, we expect, the only one
we will ever get. Otherwise it is sold out.

The Sailor King Cobra is the most elaborate
Sailor pen made to date. The nib on this pen, known as a "cobra",
set the theme for this design.
|
||
 |
||
 |
||
|
The three views above give a good idea of the Sailor King Cobra in the round. Notice the abalone discs on the back of the cap. They show with different colors and intensity depending on the angle they are seen from. |
||
 |
Sailor's logo is engraved in the cap band.
|
|
|
|
As seen below, this one is #21/25.
|
|
| The microscope photographs below show the cobra nib from top and bottom. It delivers a generous 1.5 mm line width in all directions. | ||
 |
 |
|
|
The 21k cobra nib is hand made by nib master
Nagahara at the Sailor factory. The hood projects on either
side, one a little wider than the other. It holds additional
ink for immediate delivery. It is slit vertically and horizontally,
making contact between ink and paper immediate.
|
||
 |
||
|
Because it delivers excellent ink flow and
has a broad contact area with the paper, the cobra nib is about
as smooth and juicy as a nib can be.
