Sailor Kop Mosaic Green


Pen2009

Recommended Posts

I have received a Sailor KOP Mosaic Green. The nib is B.

 

The package:

A typical KOP package. Great one at that. With a complimentary bottled Sailor black ink to boot.

 

The nib:

This is B. And from Sailor. Enough said. Super smooth. The line is not that fat. More like a medium from Pelikan or MB. With this nib, I can use it daily for note taking and journaling.

 

The size:

As a KOP, this is a full size pen. It fits in my right hand comfortably. I like the mid to large sized pen as it is difficult to keep a good hold on a small pen in my hand.

 

The filling system:

The sailor converter. Even though a converter is frowned upon, I find a converter in a KOP model has a sufficient ink capacity. I have piston, plunger and converter pens in my collection. I like them all.

 

The design:

Here, this KOP shines. There is a celluloid look to it. The following pictures worth a thousand words.

Thank you for your introduction of this pen. I also have this green pen with M nib.

I love the combination of this green and silver.

Beautiful !

 

I have the brown mosaic in the 1911M - a smallish pen but what I like about it best are the specks and fleckles of the body. It's quite a sight if you look closely.

 

Congrats. This one is a largish pen.

A gorgeous pen. I wonder if they have that color in another model.

And here I thought I had my FPAD licked.

great pen i love it.Mainly the shine of the mozaic is very nice.On the picture of the nib we see a blue reflexion on the nib i suppose it is a window or is it on the nib?

A people can be great withouth a great pen but a people who love great pens is surely a great people too...

I am not sure what is reflecting off the nib in the picture above. The nib does not have any tint as this is a rhodium plated gold nib.

What a beautiful pen. I love the look of the cap, without any rings.

The recent Fountain Pens Of Japan book shows all the four acrylic colours of the Profit King Mozaique.

Your photos really show off the lustrous nature of this acrylic material.

I have two of the smaller 1911 Profit Junior Mozaiques in Red & in Brown.

They are the only "fancy" pens I own.

and the mozaic on the 1911 looks as good?or is it less quality?it's because i love the appareance of the mozaic here but they cost a lot for my student budget and so i was asking myself if it wouldn't be bether to take the 1911 as it is a lot less money to give

Although both the 1911 & the KOP Mozaiques are similar in shape (balanced design), they are different in size & construction.

The smaller pen's barrel, like the Standard sized 1911 (& 1911-M), is built up from components. It appears the barrel of KOP Mozaique is one-piece, machined from a solid bar of acrylic resin, with the threads being gear cut.

On the 1911 Mozaiques, the threaded part next to the section is a black, cast resin add-on, separated by a decorative metal ring.

The KOP sports no cap-ring, while the 1911 has one thick ring on the rim of its cap (like Sailor demonstrators & some Sailor special edition pens).

 

I'd think that the KOP Mozaiques may be made with more precision, from specially selected acrylic bar stock. Their design is deceptively simple, yet beautiful.

You pay a premium for that.

 

If I could handle a pen of this imposing size (& price), I'd go for the Green one.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
