Sailor Special Nib Fountain Pens Return After 10 Years
After a decade of waiting, the Sailor Special Nib Fountain Pen is finally back, and fountain pen lovers everywhere couldn’t be happier. These pens are not just tools for writing, they are masterpieces crafted by Sailor’s most skilled artisans. In 2025, Sailor brought back two long-awaited models: the Sailor King Eagle Fountain Pen and the Sailor Naginata Togi Fountain Pen Fine. Both are part of Sailor’s famous Special Nib Series, known for offering a writing experience unlike any other.
If you’ve been curious about what makes these pens so special, or you’re wondering if they might be your next collector’s piece, you’re in the right place.
The Comeback of the Sailor King Eagle Fountain Pen
The Sailor King Eagle Fountain Pen is back after being unavailable for 10 years, and collectors are thrilled. This pen’s nib is a true work of art. Built by stacking three layers of nib material at the tip, the King Eagle nib is taller than the well-known Cross Point nib, making it unique in the fountain pen world.
Here’s what makes the King Eagle stand out:
-
✨ Expressive Lines: Horizontal strokes come out extra bold and dramatic, while vertical strokes shift depending on your angle.
-
✨ Smooth Ink Flow: With generous ink supply, it glides across textured paper like washi with ease.
-
✨ Brush-like Feel: Writing with it feels close to using a calligraphy brush, making your words look alive.
With its 21k large gold nib, the King Eagle is both powerful and elegant. It gives writers the chance to enjoy calligraphy-like expression in everyday writing, something few pens can deliver.
The New Sailor Naginata Togi Fine Fountain Pen
Fans of the Sailor Naginata Togi Fountain Pen have long admired its ability to bring beauty to every stroke, especially in kanji writing. Previously, it was only available in medium-fine, medium, and broad nib sizes. But now, Sailor has answered the call for finer detail with the new Naginata Togi Fine.
Why is it special?
-
🖋 Line Variation: Tilt the pen for thicker, bold lines. Hold it upright for thin, delicate lines.
-
🖋 Expressive Writing: Perfect for strokes like hooks, sweeps, and stops that make kanji and calligraphy shine.
-
🖋 Refined Nib Design: Even compared to a standard fine nib, the Naginata Togi writes more expressively.
Also featuring a 21k large gold nib, this model gives users a pen that combines precision with artistry, making it a dream for writers who want more control over their linework.
Unique Features of the Sailor Special Nib Series
Both the King Eagle and Naginata Togi Fine belong to Sailor’s Special Nib Fountain Pen lineup. This means they don’t just write beautifully, they look and feel luxurious too.
-
💎 Cap Design: The cap ring has knurling on the edges and a sleek black IP finish in the center for a modern, exclusive look.
-
💎 Signature Mark: Each nib is engraved with Sailor’s anchor symbol, proof of its authenticity and top-notch craftsmanship.
These details make each pen feel more like a collector’s treasure than just another writing tool.
Why These Pens Matter for Writers and Collectors
For years, many fountain pen enthusiasts wanted nibs that could do more than simply put ink on paper. Regular pens often can’t offer the same expressive stroke variety or smooth flow on textured paper. The Sailor Special Nib Fountain Pen solves this problem by giving users unmatched control, fluid ink flow, and artistic variation with every stroke.
Whether you’re journaling, practicing calligraphy, or adding a luxury piece to your collection, these pens bring joy to writing that standard nibs just can’t match.
