So, Please offer with confidence

Sailor\'s Professional Gear Large Special Edition fountain pen is a clear transparent pen lovers pen. A translucent cap and barrel allow you to see just how much ink is left in your fountain pen, while rhodium trim adds a cool reflective element well suited to the trim and nib color.

Also known as the Large Progear in some markets, the Pro Gear is an excellent choice for those who prefer a large-sized fountain pen. The Pro Gear large utilizes Sailor\'s smooth-writing 21k solid gold Rhodium nib. The pen accepts either a standard Sailor converter or Sailor\'s cartridges. You can more closely see the clear demonstrator in the barrel detail. i researched about the pen before getting one of these.

This very pro gear demo was limited edition color for very short period of time and sailor does not produce it anymore.

TRUE DEMONSTRATOR: WHOLE BODY SEE THROUGH

FEELING OF USING THE PEN:

I like the simplicity of the design of this pen. The edges are flat, the trims are simple. Rhodium trims fit the white acrylic pretty well, the pen looks clean and beautiful in a classic kind of way. The section is large, I guess it’s proportioned to the length of the barrel, I imagine that people with large hands will find the length of the section perfect for comfortable writing.

APPEARANCE & DESIGN:

A lot of Sailor pens are cigar-shaped with black or colored resin barrels and gold or rhodium trim, but the Pro Gear Line switches that up a little with flattened ends. I\'m a fan of this design as it breaks up the monotony of the standard cigar-shaped, black-and-gold-trimmed pen. This particular pen is limited edition demonstrator pen with rhodium (silver-colored) trim. Paired with the flattened ends, I think this combination makes for a slightly more modern presentation while still being subtle enough for even the most conservative boardroom.

I like the ring around the cap band because it’s probably the only thing that kind of stands out when the pen is capped. I like the font they used to engrave SAILOR Japan Founded 1911. Kinda reminds me of fonts used in printing money. The engraving is crisp and looks really good. The clip’s design is also simple and nondescript. When you uncap the pen, you’ll be greeted with this pretty little thing. Well, without the ink coating it, of course.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: SMOOTHEST NIBS

This Sapporo has a dual-tone 21kt nib. It has a single slit, a round breather hole, and is engraved with: 1911, 21K, the Sailor anchor, and in a rhodium-plated strip, some flourishes. The nib looks thin and long, which is pretty, and I do prefer Sailor\'s two tone nibs to their single tone nibs, which are more common.

Not surprisingly, the nib is a solid performer. The nib has consistent ink flow - with normal writing, there are no skips and hard starts. Sailor nibs are not typically scratchy, and this one is not, but they do offer some response. Personally, I like this feeling, and it\'s different than a super smooth \'buttery\' nib. It\'s a surprisingly wet writer, but not a gusher. The nib writes more like a Western finer version as it is Japanese nib, and it is on the firm side, although it is not as rigid as I thought it would be. With regular writing and no pressure, the nib and feed keep up easily with long writing sessions and fast writing. With some pressure, the nib does offer a little bit of line variation. Drying times are on the fast side, given the wetness and width of the nib. I found the feed dries out a little when I used some pressure, but of course, that\'s not what it is designed for. I am pleased that it wasn\'t skippy on smooth paper like Rhodia. Very impressive.

WHY SO EXPENSIVE & HARD TO FIND:

This model was sold only very short period of time as a limited edition in Japan only, which explains why they are so highly valued in the west. Even in Japan they are difficult to find since Sailor no longer makes them. But they are such tough pens, the ones that do turn up are usually still in great condition. These are workhorse pens. I loved that this pen’s nib is already an excellent writer right outside the box. No tuning was needed for it. It wrote very smoothly and consistently upon first inking. I even forgot to flush it with water before using, and it still wrote perfectly from the get go. It’s satisfying, to say the least. It is really smooth and the flow of ink is excellent.
