Sailor pens have a
great range of nibs of the highest quality. When properly
adjusted to customer specifications, they are superb.
For us Sailor pens are all about the nibs and the way
that they write.
Several of the tipping types Sailor uses are not available
from any other manufacturer. They make an
extra-fine
that is the finest available and a "
Zoom"
nib with an unusual writing quality. Although we don't
subscribe to the notion that more karats mean better
quality (we call this karat envy), these 21K nibs are
a pleasure to write with. The filling system is either
a twist-converter or cartridge, and because of the large-bore
opening on the Sailor converter, ink starvation problems,
common to many other brands of cartridge/converter pens,
are avoided.
