The Sailor 1911L Themis fountain pen was originally created exclusively for the ITO-YA in Japan, but is now available for the first time in North America.

The 1911L Themis is finished in a beautiful gray color that radiates a modern, casual feel while maintaining a refined look. The pen features a well-balanced, black IP-finished metal grip section that enhances the writing experience by providing a satisfying weight and allowing for smoother strokes without the need for excessive pressure, making it ideal for extended writing sessions. Additionally, this model showcases Sailor’s unique 21K solid gold nib, finished with black IP.

This model is aptly named "Themis" after the Greek goddess known as the personification of law, order, and justice. In Greek mythology, Themis is a symbol of fairness, balance, and rightful counsel, often depicted holding scales and a sword to represent impartiality and truth. Her presence symbolizes the timeless pursuit of justice—a fitting inspiration for this pen, which has been thoughtfully designed with legal professionals and students of law in mind.

The name "Themis" reflects Sailor’s commitment to providing tools that support those who champion justice, emphasizing the pen’s practicality, elegance, and thoughtful construction. Like the goddess herself, the 1911L Themis brings balance to its user, offering stability, control, and a writing experience that stands up to the demands of a professional environment.

The Sailor 1911 Large fountain pen comes equipped with Sailor's legendary black ion 21k gold nib in several nib sizes. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.

Sailor notes that the ion-plated nib should only be used with Sailor inks to avoid damage. While we have tested these nibs with other inks, we do recommend using Sailor inks if you wish to maintain the 1 year manufacturer warranty.

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.
