Sailor King Of Pen Sakura Nagare Broad Nib

Recommended Posts

Here are pics of my latest pen, the Sailor King of Pen with Sakura Nagare maki-e. Lots of raden and gold dust. My 6 year old daughter really likes it. I really like it. Has a broad nib. Writes okay if I give it some pressure at a lower angle than what is natural for me. Need to work it myself or perhaps seek out a nib meister although usually do my own nib work for the past decade or so. While the writing performance is not ideal for me the pen is still a stunner and after adjustment should make for an excellent pen because the KOP is an excellent pen.

 

Packaging is premium and everything about the pen is just luxurious. One cool thing is that the raden is raised up and also wet looking. This is all very poetic what with the images of freshly fallen cherry blossoms floating downstream. I've never seen that but I'm sure it's beautiful.

 

This pen is bit louder than my other KOP pens, ha ha, but feels right at home with my Pelikan M1000 Raden Green Ray.

Beautiful KoP! Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it for many years, and then pass it on to your daughter.

Wow. Beautiful. Right now I'm pretty content with my collection, but in Sailor I have a KoP Broad and Cross Peerless with Sailor Fine nib... as COVID was ramping up I had a Sailor Large Medium ordered through an auction site, but never made it to me... I was refunded and the pen was reclaimed.

 

If there was one pen I still think about is a Sailor with Medium nib... and since it will be my last fountain pen purchase :lticaptd: I've been thinking it likely should be something special. I think I want to go with a Large vs. another KoP for some diversity. But, wow, that KoP you have is something else altogether.

Stingy ink flow and tuned for a low writing angle. The vendor, who shall remain nameless, may have played a role in this.

What is wrong with the nib?

Have you tried Sailors own ink in their pens? Their darker inks like Doyou is super lubricated and might help to open up the stingy nib?

Yup, first ink was a Sailor. This is 100% a nib setup issue.

What are the other 3 pens in image 5173 please? The dark red to the left of the Nagare is very nice.

 

It is a spectacular looking pen. It's on my list. Maybe in a year. I'd get it modified to a Fine by Mike Masuyama though. I find the KOP to be gushers, especially in the Broad. I'm with you: I think the seller tweaked it. :( I hope you can un-tweak it!

Those other pens in that image are other KOP. The darker one is the crimson urushi. Then the orange urushi then the LE ebonite in blue.

      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
