Sailor Reviews
Okay, so I just had to order this after all the hype I read and seeing that it was recently reintroduced to our market here in USA. No sense recreating the wheel: it is all it's cracked up to be. Check out all those awesome blogger reviews. I will relate the following: I have this inked in a Pelikan M600 red stripe pen outfitted with an Extra-Fine 585 gold nib. This pen is a wet writer and lays down a line more akin to a western fine or medium-fine, in my estimation, and is paper dependent. My point though is this; one can expect to get great shading and significant sheen with this ink even in the finer nibs.
Sailor sure makes some tremendous and affordable inks. For my taste, this is one of them along with Yama-dori. Along with Diamine's Syrah, this will be a staple red ink for me. Hats off to Pen Chalet for not only stocking this stuff but putting it on sale too.

The pen is small and it fits in the palm of my equally small hands. However, it is a beautiful pen and writes well. In retrospect I wish I had ordered one with a medium nib as the writing is tiny compared to other pens I own. It has an elegant look that belies its modest price.

I ordered this pen as a graduation gift to my son as he graduated from Medicine. It arrived fairly quickly considering it was shipping to Canada and he is very pleased with it. I would certainly order another pen through Pen Chalet.

This is a beautiful pen which cannot be fully appreciated from pictures. It wrote right out of the box and feels great in the hand. It might not be the best choice for those who prefer larger pens.

Worth the wait! This is a beautiful writing instrument both in visual presentation and functionality. The nib writes a bit on the wet side, smoothly and without skipping.
I personally write with it posted and find it the perfect size for my smaller hands. This pen has become an everyday writer for me. For the price it's an excellent introductory Sailor pen.

I purchased the Fresca with a Zoom nib. This nib is incredibly versatile and fun to write with, as well as somewhat ornate in its design which is gorgeous. The color of the pen is even more stunning in person. Relatively light weight but comfortable in hand. Would highly recommend!

This, in the swatch and in the bottle is blue, very deep blue. I admit that my writing is not on expensive paper, but when this dries, the blue yields to that indigo/violet place and has become an inspiration for me to try rainbow writing. Letters answered, each letter done in a different color of ink. It's a gift, not only to the receiver of the letter, but to all the people who handle the letters from my place to yours.

Sailor inks just might be the best overall ink. It flows well and never gives me any issues with any of the pens I use in it.

A beautiful pen in the Fresca -- very much a robin's egg blue and available only in North America. The music nib is superb. This is an outstanding fountain pen.

This pen is lovely in the Fresca. The nib is smooth as butter and Pen Chalet customer service is fabulous. I like this pen so much I got it in both sizes -- the gold nibs are responsive and top quality, as is typical of Sailor fountain pens.

First contact with this company. I had a question about an antique Sailor pen. The agent was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I ended up ordering some accessories and they delivered well packed in just 3 days. Definitely would purchase again.
