Sailor 1911 Standard Ninja Star

Description

The Sailor 1911 Standard Ninja Star is part of an exclusive, overseas-only collection that takes its inspiration from the unique weapons used by ninja warriors throughout Japanese history.  Each pen features a beautifully rendered Yuubi Maki-e print on the barrel.

While in popular entertainment the shuriken is often portrayed as a lethal weapon, its actual use by ninjas and samurai appears to have been much different. A thrown shuriken was apparently used much more often to distract and intimidate enemies than to wound them. Much, however, remains subject to debate, as the use of the shuriken was a secret art passed on from warrior to warrior.

Sailor is renowned for the quality of their nibs. The Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, and Medium nibs are all excellent choices for everyday writing. Our regrind to Needlepoint is available for those who would like the most ultra-fine of writing points.

The Music nib, meanwhile, makes an excellent starting point for customizations such as Stub, Left Oblique, or Cursive Italic. Choose the unique Zoom nib for best results with our Architects Point customization.

For those who wish to achieve line-width variation by carefully varying pressure while writing, our Flex modification is the choice. This is also a customization favored by those who simply enjoy having more feedback and grab from a nib while writing.

Our complimentary nib tuning tests each pen and adjusts the ink flow and optimum pressure to your own personal specifications. We are an authorized Sailor retailer.

The 1911 Standard is a cartridge-converter pen. It is supplied with a reusable ink converter that allows it to fill utilizing bottled fountain pen ink. It can also use handy Sailor ink cartridges, now available in a wide array of different colors.
