Sailor Pens
The Sailor is one of the oldest Japanese fountain pen manufacturers, and although it is not the oldest, it is undoubtedly the one that has been continuously active for longer. The company in fact was born in 1911 for the production of ammunition for the navy, but soon became one of the largest manufacturers of fountain pens in Japan.
Still today it is present on the market as an independent company.
Always a distinctive feature of the Sailor has been that of the quality of its nibs, to date still among the best (if not the best) available on the market.
The company, although not distinguished by particular innovations and having often followed the stylistic trends introduced by others, has always produced pens of unquestionable quality and that had nothing to envy of the products of competitors, sometimes surpassing them precisely because of the quality of their nibs.
