"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is a stunning limited edition pen from Sailor, their first North American exclusive to have a solid 21k rose gold nib. Warm rose gold accents set off its ivory resin barrel, which is translucent and flecked with sparkles so that it seems to glow and catch the light.
Sailor's Pro Gear 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. Its always exciting to see their beautiful new limited editions and oh-so difficult to hold back from collecting them all."
The first company in Japan to make fountain pens, Sailor has a long history of producing finely crafted writing instruments. Their pens are loved for their precise nibs and their colorful designs.
