Sailor King of Pens Naginata Togi Ebonite Fountain Pen - Sekkei (Limited Edition)
Sailor King of Pens Naginata Togi Ebonite Fountain Pen - Sekkei (Limited Edition)
This oversized Sailor King of Pens fountain pen features a gorgeous ebonite cap, barrel and grip section. It is a hard rubber material with a rich luster appearance, which feels comfortable in the hand. It comes equipped with Sailor's legendary 21k bi-color Naginata Togi nib in the massive King of Pens size.
This new Naginata Togi Ebonite design by Sailor is inspired by a well-known Japanese landscape artist: Kawase Hasui. Hasui’s woodblock print “Snow in Mukojima” shows an early winter scene with layers of freshly fallen snow. Like this famous work, Naginata Togi Ebonite Sekkei captures a snowy evening with expressive layers of colored ebonite. A bi-color golden nib, gold clip, small gold band, and Sailor anchor logo on the finial reflects the glowing yellows in “Snow in Mukojima” on this King of Pen fountain pen and adds just a bit of warmth to this chilly scene.
Sekkei is a limited edition of only 400 pieces worldwide, made available only through authorized Sailor Bespoke dealers. Each pen is individually numbered.
This special Naginata Togi nib allows you to write with a thin line when holding the pen vertically upright, or with a thicker line when holding the pen at a lower writing angle. In this way it’s similar to a Sailor Zoom nib. It also is ground so that it writes thicker on the cross stroke and thinner on the down stroke, like an Architect nib. It’s really a blend of Zoom and Architect, which is quite unique and not available from any other pen manufacturer.
The Sailor King of Pens comes with a Sailor proprietary converter, a cleaning cloth, a 50ml bottle of Sailor black ink, as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.

FAQS
How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?
It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.
Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:
Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!
Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking.

How do I clean a fountain pen?
It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck.
It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:
How to Clean a Cartridge/Converter Pen
How often do I need to clean my fountain pen?
We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors.
Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
My pen won’t write! What do I do?
First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.
We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.
If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed.
If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help!
