A brilliant oversize pen that is sure to be the crown of any pen collection, the Sailor 1911 King of Pens is comfortable in the hand and matched with the beloved Sailor 21k gold nib. This example in Cherry Red Urushi lacquer, is a fiery and bold red and would make a great pair to Sailor Shikiori Yodaki.

Urushi lacquer is applied to the pen by hand in up to 12 individual layers. Each layer must fully dry and harden in a carefully controlled environment before the next can be added. This traditional, months-long process results in a lustrous, resilient surface.

First applied to fountain pens in the 1920’s, Urushi lacquer is peerless in its richness of colour and is wonderfully warm to the touch. Made exclusively from the sap of the Urushi tree, this traditional lacquer process has been used in East Asia for over 3000 years. 

Your Sailor 1911 King of Pen Urushi Kaga comes packaged in a handsome gift box, two Sailor black cartridges and a Sailor converter.
