Overview
Writing at a steeper or flatter angle changes the line width from this bent-nib Sailor pen, giving a brush-like stroke without a brush. The bamboo green body is round, closes with a snap and uses water-based ink.
The nib is bent so a player writing more upright gets a finer line and a flatter hold gives a bolder one. The listing is translated clumsily and leaves out cartridge and converter details.
Who it's for
A calligrapher or Japanese-lettering hobbyist will use the angle-controlled line variation. Someone who wants a standard everyday pen, or a pen with documented refills, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Line width varies with angle
- Fine line capability
- Bamboo green body
- Not water resistant
- Refill type not described
- Takes practice to control
Performance notes
The bent nib meets the paper at an angle, so the contact area changes as the hand rotates, which is how a thin or bold line is made. Water-based ink flows through a fine nib, so smooth paper helps.
