Customer Reviews
I was initially disappointed, greeting the pen out of the box. I could see nothing Large about it. Its Standard sibling must be slim indeed. But I got over that quickly enough. The writing experience is in a league of its own.

I have quite a few Japanese pens - Pilot, Namiki, Platinum and Sailor but this Sailor Pro Gear Realo II is really nice. The HM nib is wonderful - smooth and more flexible than I anticipated. It’s a smaller pen for me but fits in my hand and in a shirt pocket perfectly. This will be a daily writer for me. -K

I love this pen! It’s a beautiful color (Stormy Sea) and it writes very well. The nib is very smooth; the medium fine is exactly the type I like to write with.

Had to pick up a few bottles before the new ones were launched (more economical than the 20ml bottles). Love this brand. Rikyu-cha, Tokiwa-matsu, and Miruai are my favorites (all green, but so different from each other!). I enjoy the plastic insert which aids in filling.

Glad there is a place that sells these refills for a reasonable price. I'm going to use it with my Sailor ProColor 500 Stardust pen. I hear that Sheaffer K refills have a similar form factor but I have not tried them yet. I think Monteverde K refills would also work with this pen. Time will tell. Not going to try just yet.

The Shikiori Four Seasons ink is sublime.
I purchased both the "Summer Night Bonfire" and the "Long Autumn Evening." The Summer Night Bonfire is a striking, deep red ink that has darker shades mixed with lighter shades of red so that it creates a bit of color variation in the line. I've used it in a Lamy Safari, fine nib, and the line is nice and heavy with little feathering and no bleed through. The Long Autumn evening is a dark blue, almost navy blue color with a bit more drying time than the red. I've used this ink in my TWSBI Precision, fine nib. The inks both flow well with excellent smoothness, no bleeding in my Field Notes notebooks, nor on my Rhodia Dot Pad. My only regret is that these inks only come in 20ml bottles. I'll use them often and replenish as soon as they're gone!

Awesome ink. I love the color and it dries very quickly. Only con is that there is a very slight smell; I don’t mind it but I’m also using an EF nib.

I have Tokiwa-Matsu and Yama-Dori. Tokiwa-Matsu is a nice evergreen color, that occasionally sheens red. Yama-Dori is a nice teal that often sheens red. Both inks smell pretty unsavory, but they behave really well on most papers. I’ve had no issues cleaning them out. The bottle is pretty poor, though. Anything that’s not a cartridge/converter pen is going to struggle.

I love this pen, especially the color (yellow). It is a medium-sized pen, so I write with the cap posted. It fits well in my hand that way. The gold nib (B) writes like a dream right out of the box. The pen seems well constructed, and I have no reservations about recommending it. I think I could be perfectly happy with this as my only fountain pen, if I could have only one.

My 1st Sailor, I have been wishing on one for years and this one is a beautiful pen. I do honestly have pens that write better but I love the look I have an issue with the feel of the Section, it just does not fit my personal grip all that well. I still use it a lot anyways hoping my fingers will adjust to it because it is just so pretty.

The only detraction I can make about this product is the ink filler insert. Just throw it away. They require too many attempts to fill a pen. Get a pack of empty sample vials, a syringe, and ablunt needle. Use the bottle and when you get near the end just fill up from the vial. Do not stack the bottles. Other than that it is a solid ink. Seems to dry about like most other inks, have had no problems in my pens, and there is an excellent selection of colors.

What can really be said about Sailor Jentle that hasn't already been said. It's a staple in my rotation, Performs well in all of my nibs, flow is excellent and the color and shading is great. This is one of the inks I go back to often in my journaling and letter writing. Great ink at a good price.

Excellent shopping experience! This my 2nd Sailor Pen and I am loving it! The extra-fine nib was just what I was looking for, perfect for small notes and the 1911 Large size is very comfortable in my hand to use. Can be absolutely recommended!
