Sailor King of Pens Urushi Green Fountain Pen

Sailor King of Pens Urushi Green

A refined design with a timeless air and a wise choice of materials defined by their richness and exceptionality are some of the features that distinguish the Sailor King of Pens Urushi Green fountain pen from other high-end pieces. This is the case of its ebonite body and cap, a raw material highly used in the past in the production of fountain pens but which today has been practically abandoned in favor of plastics and other poorer substances; or its exquisite coating with twelve layers of urushi lacquer, which provide a shiny and soft-touch finish. And all this without forgetting one of the qualities that have cemented the fame of this prestigious Japanese company's fountain pens and make them much more than luxury objects: their magnificent performance.

The fountain pens from the King of Pens Urushi collection are characterized by their minimalist aesthetic, with pure lines stripped of ostentatious decorative resources, and in which the only concession to ornament resides in a thin ring at the point of confluence of the grip section with the body and, of course, in its elegant clip, with a rounded shape highlighted by a double stagger that delimits its perimeter and extends to its upper part, slightly wider in its area where it connects with the cap. Both are plated in 24 carat gold and offer a beautiful contrast with the delicious lacquered ebonite surface of the rest of the piece, equipped with the classic torpedo profile and an impressive oversize —15.35 cm. in length with the cap closed— which gives great packaging to the fountain pen and constitutes one of the distinctive characteristics of this collection.

These generous dimensions also extend to its superb nib, made of 21-carat solid gold with a two-tone finish and with a beautiful engraved decoration composed of a delicate border with scrolls and undulating lines that contains inside the name of this famous Japanese brand, its year and place of foundation, the anchor that constitutes its emblem and, of course, the references to the degree of purity of the gold with which it is made and the thickness of its point, which in this specific collection is available in medium ( M) and broad (B).

The careful craftsmanship of the fountain pens in the Sailor King of Pens collection also extends to their presentation cases, consisting of a luxurious wooden box with the name of the brand engraved in gold letters on the lid that houses inside, on a padded surface covered in satin, the fountain pen in question and an inkwell. So that, those who wish to do it, can instantly verify the reason for the incredible fame of Sailor nibs.
