This oversized Sailor 1911 King of Pens fountain pen features a black ebonite cap, barrel and grip section. It is a hard rubber material with a rich luster appearance. It comes equipped with Sailor's legendary large 21k bi-color Naginata Togi nib, available in Medium Fine, Medium, and Broad. The 1911 King of Pens comes with a Sailor proprietary converter, a cleaning cloth, a bottle of Sailor black ink, as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.
This special Naginata Togi nib allows you to write with a thin line when holding the pen vertically upright, or with a thicker line when holding the pen at a lower writing angle. In this way it’s similar to a Sailor Zoom nib. It also is ground so that it writes thicker on the cross stroke and thinner on the down stroke, like an Architect nib. It’s really a blend of Zoom and Architect, which is quite unique and not available from any other pen manufacturer.

Note: Sailor has fully transitioned to the new design of nib that features the anchor logo only. Some of our images may feature the old design with the anchor and “1911”.
