Introducing the Sailor TUZU Adjust fountain pen, designed for all writing styles and habits. With two innovative features, this pen dispels the belief that fountain pens are complex and difficult to use. Experience effortless writing and comfort like never before.

The "Rotating Nib Feature" lets you customize the nib and grip rotation to your liking, while the "Natural Fit Grip" ensures a comfortable writing experience for all finger sizes and positions. With 10-degree rotation options, you can find the perfect hand position while maintaining proper nib alignment on paper. Additionally, the rounded grip has two grooves for easy and comfortable holding. The TUZU Adjust is versatile in accommodating left-handed writers, steep angles, and various gripping habits.

This sustainable fountain pen is made from light grey recycled polycarbonate. Each pen comes with a stainless steel nib and Sailor's slide-type sealing feature in the snap cap to prevent ink from drying out.

Packaged with a Sailor proprietary converter and two ink cartridges, this pen is ready to bring joy to writing for a long time to come.

Everyone raves about this pen.

This is my first Sailor pen, and I picked it up after seeing Goulet Pens YouTube video about it. I like the simple style and color. The included converter is very nice and filling it was a breeze with the new heart hole.

Everything about it was pretty good until I started writing with it. I had heard Sailor nibs had some feedback, but this just feels scratchy. I also ordered the broad nib which seems thinner then my Twsbi 580 medium.

I ended up trying a wetter ink in it. It started out ok, but within two minutes I was having issues with flow. The writing was significantly thinner towards the bottom of the page. I tried cleaning the pen with no better results.

I think the concept of the pen was neat, but the rotating nib felt a bit gimmicky actually writing with it. I'm not sure if it's just not for me or if quality control missed this one.

Solid, fun pen

I decided to try this new Sailor TUZU, and it's a solid pen in an understated color that I prefer to my Sailor Compass or Lamy Safari. I don't have the whole rotation thing down yet, but I'm looking forward to playing with it. I'm using the included converter, and it holds a good amount of ink and it flows smoothly. I got an M nib, and it's perfect, a little on the thinner side as a Sailor would be. Overall worth the price for the ease and fun.

My experience with Sailor pens and inks has been great, and continues with my great new TUZU Adjust with a B nib. Being a lefty, I figured there was a good chance the new adjustable feature would help when writing and that is indeed the case. I haven't done enough drawing to comment yet, but I think I'll find some practical help in using a TUZU that way too.
I started using fountain pens about 3 years ago when I got more serious about drawing and instantly felt like "where have you been all my life" -- I was more happy with my first entry level fountain pens than I ever felt about a rapidograph that I used my first couple of years of art school for drawing and taking notes -- even though totally enamored with my rapidographs then, Mars technical pens. (They needed to be held at a high angle to the paper, not the natural good feel of a fountain pen.)
With fountain pens I've tried different kinds of nibs including "lefty grind" for writing in particular and that nib actually didn't suit me well even though being in excellent shape, no fault of the nib, just not right for me. I think it relates to being an "overhand writer" holding my hand above the line I'm writing, and slanting the paper like a righty does. I've tried other approaches but this is the only comfortable one for me.
I expect to get another TUZU from Goulet with a different nib, partly out of curiosity as well as being so happy with my first one. The light weight is good for me, but I'd prefer the pen to be longer, even just a bit.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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! Check out our quick guide here.
  • 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. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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 often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
