The Sailor Special Nib Naginata Emperor Fountain Pen represents one of the most technically distinctive nib constructions in Sailor's specialty catalog. Its traditional black-and-gold body conceals the real reason collectors seek the model: a large 21k Naginata nib paired with an additional overfeed that sits above the nib and helps manage the generous ink demand of expressive writing.
The Emperor design is immediately recognizable by the curved auxiliary feed mounted over the top surface of the nib. This component holds a reserve of ink close to the writing point, helping maintain steadier delivery during broad, wet strokes or on absorbent paper. It gives the nib a visual architecture unlike a conventional fountain pen and reflects Sailor's willingness to solve writing-performance problems through specialized nib engineering.
On paper, the Naginata profile allows line width to change with writing angle, while the Emperor overfeed supports the increased flow such writing can require. The combination is particularly suited to expressive handwriting, calligraphy-inspired strokes, signatures, and drawing. Filling is by Sailor cartridge or converter.
The Naginata Emperor is an enthusiast's pen in the strongest sense: its value lies in a specialized writing system that is difficult to replicate with a conventional nib. Within Sailor's Special Nib family, the visible overfeed and advanced ink-management concept make the Emperor one of the most immediately identifiable and technically interesting designs.
