Nibsmith.com sells Sailor fountain pens, will ship internationally, and Dan Smith does excellent nib work in my experience, although I've only bought Pelikan and Aurora pens from him (precisely because his nib work was included in the price) but not Sailor pens.

You'll have to confirm with Dan whether Nibsmith.com is an authorised Sailor pen dealer. I see some pens that are "Only for authorized Sailor North American Retailers" listed there, but that's not really conclusive proof.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

If you are okay ordering from overseas, I've found that the Writing Desk are able to get it where you want. I get my Sailors from them.

They are a B&M and official Sailor retailer. Send them an email if you like.

Try Pendleton Brown in the US. He's the one who worked on four problematic Bock 060 feeds on my Kaweco 14c nibs. Excellent communicator with a great sense of humour.

> are there any other shops like Japanese shops

I guess you should post a link to this thread in the Japanese subforum.

      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
