Sailor Fountain Pen

Today, I was in the San Francisco Shopping Centre, looking for a GRE review book and a dictionary, and, of course, I stopped into the Maido stationery store to test-drive some fountain pens. I was especially curious about the Pilot Vanishing Point pens, since whenever I research fountain pens online, I always come across people who love that pen. I tried one that had a medium nib, and wasn't especially impressed. I was, however, impressed with the Sailor Sapporo. It's a little smaller than pens I use, and the nib looks smaller than other nibs I have used, but the ink flow was smooth and pleasant. I may have to save up for one.

Sailor Fountain Pens

I found a store in San Francisco that sells Sailor fountain pens.  I read on at least one blog that the write very smoothly, and that's a quality I like a lot.  So, now I want to go back, and ask the salespeople if I can try one.  Mmmmmm: fountain pens....
