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”.

Perfect

I'm the physician who got and F in cursive handwriting in third grade. I have been block printing since I was allowed to in school. I have dabbled with different pens over the decades. I have about 8 fountain pens of all sorts. They all have their pro's and con's in usability and appearance. My issue with them is that my writing style is not flattered by these pens (Sailor EF to european M). And of course some don't flow well, don't start up, etc. all the fountain pen flaws. My favorite is the Waterman Serenite pen, but it has a flaw with its snap on cover in that it causes in spillage on the nib snapping the cover on and off, and I often had a lot of ink everywhere.Enter the Naginata Togi MF nib. First load is with a Waterman blue ink. Magical. This nib flows great, and the grind really makes my block printing look great, and special. I am glad I kept with the smaller nib, as the lines are big enough, a medium might have been too broad for my use. The gold nib is pretty flexxy, and I am working to decrease my pressure, as this thing writes as smooth as butter. I am also glad I went with the ($$$) KOP version. It sits well in the hand, and is rather unobtrusive compared to pens with all sorts of flashy trim.

Line Variance

Such a unique writing experience. One of my favorite features of fountain pens is the ability to incorporate line variation. I am used to a flex or stub nib providing this but the Naginata Togi does this in a different way. Being able to adjust the line width by the angle of the pen to the paper is fun. It also can feel like writing with a tame stub but rotated 90 degrees. If you can afford it, give it a try!

Naganita Togi Magic

The Naginata Togi nib elevates this King of Pens to new levels. The fountain pen becomes more versatile with all the different stroke widths that can be achieve by changing the angle of writing. The ebonite body is very comfortable in the hand. Overall an amazing pen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this fountain pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Sailor ink cartridges, which are available in a wide range of colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
