Limited to a run of just 1500 pens worldwide and expected to arrive in April or May of 2020, the Pro Gear Slim Blue Dwarf is the latest in a series of astronomically-inspired special editions from Sailor. Previous special editions of this kind have sold out very quickly - we strongly suggest pre-ordering to secure one of these very special fountain pens for yourself.
Featuring an effervescent blue body flecked with silver, the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Blue Dwarf is a distinctive and beautiful special edition fountain pen at a highly affordable price. Sailor pens are renowned for the quality of their nibs, and we can provide this pen with any Sailor 14k solid gold rhodium-plated nib.
The Blue Dwarf is a cartridge-converter pen - it can be filled with Sailor brand cartridges, or with any bottled fountain pen ink when using the provided converter. A simple but attractive presentation box is included, along with a starter pack of two cartridges. Each pen is carefully examined and tested by us before shipping.
I received this pen in a subscription box. It is not one that I would have thought to choose for myself, but I am very pleased with it. Fit and finish are *superb*, but the real outstanding feature is the nib itself. Mine came with a rhodium-plated 14kt gold nib marked H-B, which I learned stands for "Hard-Broad". This nib has to be used to be appreciated. When wielded lightly, it could pass for a Medium or even a Fine on smooth paper, but with a slight increase in force, it opens up to full-on Broad. Note that it is not a flex nib (as the designation implies), but it certainly does respond in terms of laying down more ink if you want to push it. Moreover, if you flip it to write "in reverse", it becomes a smooth ultra-fine. Many (but not all) pens can do this to an extent--usually not gracefully--but this one is great at it. It is a rather small, light pen and would be terrific to carry in the pocket of a dress shirt. Those with smaller hands may also appreciate it.
Nice nib. High quality.
