Fresh from Japan, my latest Sailor Professional Gear - the Sailor-Mitsukoshi "Dandelion" Demonstrator LE:

(The Dandelion LE was produced in a limited edition of 50 pens.)

 

This is the tenth Professional Gear I have added to my collection - and it is gorgeous!

 

My sincere thanks go to Jim, who acquired this pen for me. He somehow persuaded the Mitsukoshi department store in Nihonbashi to sell him two Dandelions - when the limit was a firm one-per-customer. ;)

 

More photos will soon follow, plus a review of the pen and the yellow-green Sailor ink which was specially made to compliment the pen body.

 

I am one very happy girl! :cloud9:

Sheesh! they're like potato chips aren't they? Can't have just one.

 

I'm not tempted by this - demos make me nervous. But i can envision having every available color of the Sapporo mini someday (and the standard Sapporo). Fortunately, the regular Pro Gear is too big for me. Whew!

Gracious, what a cool pen! And very pretty too! I also want a Pro Gear, but can't decide which color because I haven't seen them in person and I like all three new colors :rolleyes: . Oh boy. Yes, they're ALL like potato chips, and especially when they're this nice!

      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..

      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
