Introducing the Sailor TUZU Adjust fountain pen, designed for all writing styles and habits. With two innovative features, this pen dispels the belief that fountain pens are complex and difficult to use. Experience effortless writing and comfort like never before.

The "Rotating Nib Feature" lets you customize the nib and grip rotation to your liking, while the "Natural Fit Grip" ensures a comfortable writing experience for all finger sizes and positions. With 10-degree rotation options, you can find the perfect hand position while maintaining proper nib alignment on paper. Additionally, the rounded grip has two grooves for easy and comfortable holding. The TUZU Adjust is versatile in accommodating left-handed writers, steep angles, and various gripping habits.

This sustainable fountain pen is made from translucent navy blue recycled polycarbonate. Each pen comes with a stainless steel nib and Sailor's slide-type sealing feature in the snap cap to prevent ink from drying out.

Packaged with a Sailor proprietary converter and two ink cartridges, this pen is ready to bring joy to writing for a long time to come.

Translucent Navy is a special edition TUZU color for 2024 and will be produced in limited quantities.

Skipping Pen

I do not know if its me, the ink, or the pen. The Tuzu seems to skip ..... a lot. Maybe get a bolder nib. I ordered a fine point nib and I can barely get enough ink out to write my name.

Sailor TUZU

I was disappointed with this pen's fine nib. It had a definite drag in one direction (to the right) that was very annoying. I tried different inks and papers with no improvement in performance. The adjustment is interesting, but not necessary for my grip. I am going to try another TUZU with a medium nib size and hopefully it will not drag.

I did have to do some nib tuning.

Tuzu, A Solution in Search of a Problem

I bought the new Sailor Tuzu in translucent blue because I was curious about the adjustable nib. Thoughts... the nib (in medium) is a smooth, and beautiful writer and puts down a very fine line... almost extra fine but without any trace of scratchiness.
The adjustable nib is novel but I found that no adjustment is the best adjustment... a solution in search of a problem.
The downside is that the pen, although well engineered, looks and feels cheap. The barrel and cap are a hard, thin plastic, with plain finials that make the pen look 'disposable.' Even the packaging looks cheap.
I probably will not repeat... much preferring my Safaris, and TWSBIs.

Nice and light, but ink flow was non-existent. Will be returning it.

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.
