Sailor Precious Wood Kabazaiku Cherry Bark Fountain Pen

Sailor Precious Wood Kabazaiku. Cherry bark.

Cherry bark, a precious wood used, among others, by Samurai warriors for the decoration of their swords, the creation of different artifacts and the writing of poems that were offered to the emperor as a symbol of loyalty, is the material chosen for the making of the body and cap of the Sailor Kabazaiku Cherry Bark fountain pen, a delicious writing pen that is part of the Precious Wood collection of this renowned Japanese brand. It completes its decoration with various gold-plated ornamental elements and an efficient nib of 14 karat solid gold.

The Precious Wood collection is characterized, as its name suggests, by the use of different types of precious woods for the production of the fountain pens that comprise it. These are fountain pens that stand out for their delicate design and the unique image provided by the priority use of the aforementioned material, which with its peculiar grain, its knots and its non-uniform nature turn each writing pen into a unique and unrepeatable piece. Even more so in the case at hand, in which the irregularities of the cherry bark create surprising effects that increase the attractiveness of this beautiful fountain pen.

Equally peculiar compared to other models in the series is the design of the Sailor Precious Wood Kabazaiku, with straighter and more robust lines, a striking resin culotte that makes it easier to attach the cap and introduces a significant contrast with the tone of the wood and , finally, with gold-plated decorations using the ionic deposition system that are also separated from those present in their fellow collections. Starting with the abundant proliferation of rings throughout its surface, from the head to the culotte, and concluding with its elegant clip, which follows the classic rounded profile and the double staggering common in many of the pins of this brand.

In addition to the above, we cannot fail to mention its nib, the most important component in any fountain pen and one of the elements that have made this company famous worldwide for its excellent performance and its careful craftsmanship, in this case in solid 14-carat gold and with a beautiful engraved decoration that includes a delicate border with scrolls and undulating lines that houses inside the name of this prestigious Japanese firm, the anchor that constitutes its emblem, the year of its foundation, the reference to the degree of purity of the gold with which it is made and, on one of its sides, the mention of the thickness of its point, which in this specific piece is limited to medium (M).

As it could not be otherwise considering the quality of the pieces in this series and the attention to detail that has always characterized Sailor, the pieces from the Precious Wood collection are presented in a beautiful gift box.
