Pro Gear Slim Fountain Pen | Princess Raden | Princess Koto
Sailor's Princess Raden series is inspired by princesses from Japanese fairytales, each one featuring a colorful two-tone design, shimmering mother-of-pearl embellishments, and traditional maki-e lacquerwork. The Princess Koto pen is inspired by the story of a princess who was washed ashore and played her koto harp for the villagers who saved her. Princess Koto is a soft translucent blue color with a sand-colored cap and silver accents, decorated with motifs from the sea.
Sailor's Pro Gear Slim fountain pen is a comfortable mid-sized pen, small enough to fit in a pocket but long enough for comfortable everyday use. It's got a classic shape with a flat-top cap and a round barrel and grip, and comes with a converter and ink cartridges to get you started. Sailor makes their gold nibs in-house, and they're known for being exceptionally precise, with a unique feedback sensation. (Note that they run on the fine side, like other Japanese fountain pen nibs.)
Staff pick! Victor says: "This was my first entry into high-end fountain pens. It fits comfortably in my smaller hand and I really enjoy the gentle and smooth pencil-like feedback as the nib runs across the paper. It's always exciting to see their beautiful new limited editions and oh-so difficult to hold back from collecting them all."
