Sailor 1911 Special Nib King Eagle is a prestigious Japanese fountain pen marking the return—after nearly 10 years—of the legendary King Eagle nib. This long-awaited model combines the classic elegance of the 1911 series with Sailor’s renowned craftsmanship in producing special nibs.
The King Eagle nib is a triple-layered 21k gold nib, handcrafted by Sailor’s master artisans. Longer than the Cross Point nib, it is designed to deliver exceptional line variation, ranging from fine to broad or extra broad, depending on the writing angle and stroke direction.
Thanks to its generous ink flow, this pen writes smoothly even on rough paper or traditional washi. The writing experience is reminiscent of a calligraphy brush: soft, expressive, and dynamic.
After a decade-long production hiatus due to overwhelming demand, the return of the King Eagle nib is a rare and exclusive event. The Sailor 1911 Special Nib King Eagle is the ideal choice for collectors and writing enthusiasts seeking a high-end fountain pen that blends iconic design with outstanding calligraphic performance.
