Sailor Pro Gear Sky!

Today I want to talk about the brand new Sailor Professional Gear Sky series of fountain pens. These were recently released with much anticipation, not only in the pen community, but here in the Anderson household as well.

The Sailor Pro Gear Sky comes in three sizes, the Slim, the Standard full sized pen, and the King of Pen versions. The cap utilizes a clear inner cap and for a nice touch has the Sky wording on the cap band. The cap posts well on the barrel end as do all Pro Gear pens. The color on this pen is just outstanding and true to its name.

The pen is a cartridge/converter pen (converter included) and uses proprietary Sailor cartridges. Two cartridges are included.  I inked my pen (a Standard Pro Gear Sky with a Broad nib) with a special Blue ink, soon to be announced.  A perfect complement to the pen.  Lisa grabbed a Pro Gear Sky Slim in a Medium Fine nib.

Both Slim and Standard sizes come in all seven available Sailor nibs, (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, Medium, Broad, Zoom, and Music) whereas the King of Pen just two, the Medium and Broad nibs. Slim comes with a 14kt gold nib whereas the Standard size and King of Pen come with 21kt gold rhodium plated versions. As can be expected, the nibs are extremely smooth and run on the fine side.

My favorite part of the pen, other than the spectacular nib, is the engraving on the cap band. You know this is the Sky model.

Now my third Sailor, I can’t see stopping. These pens are just so good. Get your Sailor Pro Gear Sky at the website, or catch us at a pen show to see them yourself. I’m sure you’ll like them as much as we do.

Cheers!
