This beauty arrived today! Ive not been tempted by any others in the cocktail series, but I had wanted one of Sailors translucent Walnut coloured pens. This has (I think) the same colour body and section and finial as the Walnut, but with a rich creamy beige solid-coloured cap - and is half the price.

 

Its quite difficult to judge the cap colour from photos, but in life its exactly like cream on a coffee - I think theyve done a great job with the colours on this pen. Plus they go so well with the rich gold of Sailors nibs - love it.

 

It is a Europe-only exclusive - The Writing Desk in the UK has a good deal on it at the moment.

The barrel colour reminds me of amber,... apt for Russia. Pro-Gear Slim size or standard Pro-Gear?

Congrats & enjoy in good health.

Thank you, Driften and Tinta! It is the Pro-Gear Slim, hence the cheaper price, but I find that size perfectly comfortable and I’ve got quite large hands for a woman.

A very nice looking pen, congrats!

 

Moranga in Berlin still has one, I think. I was dancing around it for a while and still can only barely manage to NOT get it as I have to be a bit more frugal at the moment. So, please, can someone get it so that I do not have to think about it anymore! :lticaptd:

Congratulations! How is your feeling about that pen right now? :)

 

I'm also thinking about this pen. Once I saw it in person, but didn't fall in love (lucky for my wallet) but... I feel more and more at I want a brown pen and something different ;) And ok, white russian is great drink and I like it (as I'm not 'drinks' person hahaha)

I do like Walnuts Sailor :)

 

I have decided to go for another Sailor (I have to, both with medium nib, little too broad for me, need EF or F, but they are great!). And I almost decided for 1911s demo (I saw only pictures but... soon my retailer will have one, just for me, I guess it will help to decide but... still I have some doubts - maybe White russian ?(found store in eu). What to do? :lol: :lticaptd: B) ;)

Thanks, Nikaa (sorry, only just seen your post!)

 

Well, it’s still a lovely pen, still great Sailor quality, what’s not to love?

 

But if you saw it and didn’t fall in love, maybe it’s not the one for you. Pensachi always have a great variety of models, have you looked at their site?

      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
