IN COLLABORATION WITH SAILOR, OHASIDO RELEASED A SPECIAL EDITION HANDMADE EBONITE FOUNTAIN PEN. With Sailor’s famous Mr. Nagahara specially build nibs. 14K GOLD NAGAHARA Special Ohasido Nib. Filling mechanism: Converter or Cartridge (Sailor Proprietary Converter & Cartridge). Nib: 14K Medium Nagahara Nib. Size: 138 mm (From the Cap) and 126 mm (From the Nib). About the pen: OHASHIDO EBONITE. Ohasido wanted to make such a pen that would give a far better writing experience compared to both Sailor and Ohasido itself. It was a collaboration project for both Ohasido and Sailor. To achieve the writing experience that Ohasido wanted, Nagara decided to combine the best of both 14K and 21K nibs. 14K nibs are smaller compared to 21K. But the 14K nib size gives a better feeling than 21K, however, the pen demands a 21K sized nib. So Nagahara made a special nib just for the Ohasido. A 14K Nib fitted in a 21K size nib. On the other side Mr. Eiichi Uehara started making fountain pens at age 13, it was said that he is the only person–or one of a very few persons–in Japan who makes the entire pen, both gold nib, and ebonite barrel, all by himself. However, for this project, he wanted to bring his best by making only the pen body. He made the pen with Japanese Ebonite and used multiple layers of Urushi to make it to the final finish. This pen is a truly historic piece, and it was completely made from scratch by hand. U OHASHIDO x SAILOR 14K SPECIALITY NIBS PERFORMANCE. U Ohashido’s ebonite fountain pens are known for their high-quality nibs, which provide a smooth and enjoyable writing experience. The brand has collaborated with Sailor, a well-respected Japanese pen company, to produce nibs that are durable, consistent, and well-balanced. The writing experience with a J. U Ohashido x Sailor fountain pen is said to be very consistent, with a subtle degree of scratchiness due to Sailor’s most famous feature which is the Nib’s Natural paper feedback across the paper. The nib is flexible enough to provide some line variation, but not so much that it becomes difficult to control. The pen’s balanced weight and comfortable grip allow for hours of writing without hand fatigue, and the ink flow is reliable and consistent, so there are no skipping or blobby lines. Many Fountain pen users prefer a butter-smooth writing experience however die-hard Sailor nibs fans found their “paper-feedback” features to be more nostalgic than a butter-smooth writing nib. It allows the writer to connect with the paper and their ideas more naturally. SAILOR PROPRIETARY CARTRIDGE OR CONVERTER. This pen is compatible with a modern Sailor Cartridge and modern Sailor Standard Converter If you wish to include a Sailor Cartridge or Converter, Please message us directly. Price: Sailor Ink Cartridge x12 : 5 USD Sailor Standard Converter : 7 USD Sailor Mini Converter : 10 USD. The pen is in beautiful condition, there are hairline scratches on the clip but no damage such as dents or cracks found on the body of the pen. The Nib is in EXCELLENT Condition, absolutely shiny with almost no scratches that are visible. There is a high degree of Patin, discoloration due to the age of the ebonite because of exposure to sunlight and age on the top cap and lower body but the rest of the body has been lacquered with Urushi on Ebonite. The pen is obtained from a second-hand collectors’ market and the pen filler mechanism has been cleaned and the nib has been tested to assess any scratchiness or ink leakage. It functions super well, and it writes like a buttery dream. Because the pen uses Sailor nib configuration, this pen can fit any modern Sailor proprietary converter or cartridges.
