Sailor PG Naginata Emperor Fountain Pen – Black

The Sailor PG Naginata Emperor Fountain Pen in black is a remarkable embodiment of craftsmanship and heritage, seamlessly blending the allure of traditional Japanese artistry with contemporary functionality. This pen pays homage to Sailor’s foundation year of PG, encapsulating over a century of expertise in creating superior writing instruments. The PG fountain pen is distinguished by its elegant design, featuring a glossy black resin barrel and cap that exude a timeless sophistication. Accentuated by palladium-coloured metal details, this pen is a testament to Sailor’s commitment to quality and style.

At the heart of the Sailor PG Naginata Emperor fountain pen lies its most distinctive feature: the legendary 21k gold nib with a Naginata Emperor tip. Developed in the early 1990s by Nobuyoshi Nagahara, a master nib grinder with over 65 years of experience, this nib was a response to a unique customer request. The result was a nib that would not run dry on even the most absorbent Japanese papers. The Naginata Emperor nib is characterised by its unique rolled tab, or “emperor,” which provides an additional ink reservoir, allowing for a wetter and more consistent ink flow. This feature makes every writing experience smooth and luxurious, enhancing the depth and richness of the ink on the page. The nib’s shape, inspired by the traditional long Japanese sword, adds to its distinctiveness and appeal.

This fountain pen is available in a medium nib size, perfect for those who appreciate a balance between fine and broad strokes. The pen’s cap, which screws to open and close, can also be posted securely onto the back of the barrel, offering convenience and stability during use. The special engraved metallic centre band is a subtle yet sophisticated touch, signifying the unique quality of the nib.

Accompanying the pen is a Sailor proprietary converter, along with two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges, providing versatility and ease for those who prefer the traditional cartridge or the convenience of a converter system. Sailor pens have a rich history, being the first to produce fountain pens in Japan. Founded by Kyugoro Sakata in Hiroshima, Sailor has earned a first-class reputation for manufacturing the highest quality nibs, all meticulously crafted in their own factory. Their flagship collections, including the classic 1911 and the boldly designed Professional Gear, are celebrated worldwide for their exceptional quality and design.

The Sailor PG Naginata Emperor Fountain Pen is not just a writing instrument; it is a statement of elegance and a celebration of Sailor’s dedication to excellence. Whether for everyday writing or special occasions, this pen offers an unparalleled writing experience, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
