Sailor Kanreki EF nib
1 of 1 found this helpful As per the seller's product description, the 60th anniversary Sailor Kanreki came as a full set with papers (In japanese), 2 blue black cartridges of ink, 1 bottle of Blue Black Jentle ink in the box ( my favourite ink brand and favourite ink colour) and a piston ink converter within the pen. Unlike most Sailor ProGear fountain pens bought in Japan, this particular edition came with a complimentary converter which is a nice touch.
The nibs are the default EF nib - which is a very fine nib compared to Western nib widths and is suitable for writing in Japanese and Chinese characters. The gold content of the nib is 21K gold, it is yellow gold plated across the entire nib as well.
It is basically a standard Professional Gear fountain pen in red tones to celebrate the nib maker's anniversary and in East Asian cultures, the bright red represents a joyous occasions such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. It is very meaningful.
