This Sailor 1911L fountain pen features a solid glossy black resin barrel and cap, complemented by ion-plated black accents. It comes equipped with Sailor's legendary 21k gold nib in black with a Naginata Togi nib grind available in three nib sizes. It also has a black ion-plated brass grip section for a weighted balance.
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.
The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. Each pen comes equipped with a black ion-plated ink converter, perfectly complementing the pen’s sleek design. The 1911L also comes as well with two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.
