Sailor Pro Gear Slim Manyo Fountain Pen Set - Persimmon (Limited Edition)
Announcing the arrival of the third installment in the Sailor Manyo Pen series. This latest release has been crafted to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Manyo ink collection. This series stands out not only for its design and quality but also because it is not available in Japan, making it a truly unique offering for North America consumers.
Each pen in this limited-edition series is a work of art, featuring exquisite foil embossing on the top finial, rendered in a stunning rainbow foil.
The Persimmon pen showcases a rich, warm orange hue reminiscent of ripe persimmons. It is paired with a 50ml bottle of Manyo Budo, a deep and vibrant blue-purple ink inspired by wild grapes that were historically used for food and dyeing during the Heian period.
This Sailor Pro Gear Slim fountain pen features a translucent orange cap, grip section, and barrel finial, complemented by an opaque blue-purple barrel and top finial. It is completed by gold-plated trim, and the top finial features a persimmon.
The pen is equipped with a 14k yellow gold nib in fine, medium fine, or medium. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Professional Gear Slim fountain pen comes with a Sailor proprietary converter. It also can accept proprietary Sailor ink cartridges.

Customer Reviews
Just as I expected, this is a jewel of a pen, a real gem, in a restrained color combination that tastefully eschews gendered identification. It writes smoothly without excessive wetness as all my Sailor’s do. The shade of blue in the genous sized bottle of ink is a real find. Such a bargain with its beautiful almost white gold nib.
Looks great. Writes very well. I also love the ink that came with it.
