Thank you for this excellent review! I'm soon getting a 1911 Large, but I'm already drooling over the King of Pen, specifically one with an urushi lacquer finish (I might go for the orange one myself some day in the distant future).

 

Anyway, this definitely counts as a grail pen. I hope you continue enjoying this pen for years to come, and that you follow through on your promise to write a review a few years down the line; I'm curious about how well the finish holds up against the test of time.

 

Cheers!

 

Kevin

 

 

P.S.

Words can NOT do those pictures of yours justice. Now that I've said my piece, I'll go back to staring at them, if it's all the same to you (haha).

Sorry for the late reply. I save the cross point nib for special uses such as writing Chinese characters. If I had to use a special Sailor nib for more mundane writing, I prefer the cross concord nib which I have on a Sailor Sterling Silver 1911 pen. Hope that helps!

      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
