Sailor King Professional Gear Fire Fountain Pen

Sailor King Professional Gear Fire Fountain Pen

Sailor King Professional Gear Fire Fountain Pen has been preceded by the other successful elementals: Sky, Earth, and Ocean.  The body of the Fire pen is a flame inspired red-orange hue, accented with gold.  A resemblance to the temperamental element that will make you feel like Prometheus holding the godly flames. The story of Prometheus tells us of the importance of fire. The immortal titan Prometheus defied the gods, stealing fire from them to give to humanity. This gift would allow those first waves of mankind to progress and create civilization. Knowing the vital powers of fire and the ways that it would transform mankind, Prometheus gave his gift and subjected himself to punishment from Zeus. While the Greek myths are not factual accounts of history, society still considers fire to be the most fundamental of the four elements. Fire is a delicate balance of power that on one hand provides protection and heat, and on the other hand, is a destructive force. It is this balance that Sailor aims to capture within its new Sailor Professional Gear Fire Fountain Pen, the fourth installment in the Pro Gear Element Series.  This King of Pen is fitted with a 21K gold nib.

About Sailor Pen Japan

Sailor Pen Japan was founded in 1911 by Kyugoro Sakata, an engineer from the historic naval port of Hiroshima in Japan, who was introduced to a Fountain Pen brought from England by a sailor friend. He was determined to produce a finely crafted Japanese writing instrument with the highest specification and writing experience. The company was named Sailor Pen with the aspiration of expanding this home grown name, Sailor Pen, internationally like the voyages of a Sailor. Sailor Pen became the first company to produce Fountain Pens for domestic Japanese market and it is credited to be one of the oldest established pen companies in Japan. Sailor Pen has continued to maintain its heritage of quality and technical excellence over more than a 100 years since then. Today, Sailor Pens are remembered by any avid fountain pen users as the gold standard in Japanese fountain pen nib making from its late nib artisan, Nagahara Nobuyoshi 長原宣義.
