Nib Naginata Medium-Fine (NMF) 21k nib. The Naginata Togi is a specialty nib developed at Sailor. It is similar to an architect grind, with a wider cross-stroke and narrow downstroke. The line width also varies depending on the angle at which you hold the pen - thinner when held perpendicular to the paper, and wider when held at a lower angle. It does take some practice to master, so it's not for everyone.
Condition Excellent condition, working well. Light scratching and handwear on both cap and barrel. No cracks, chips, or large individual scratches. The body of this pen is based on the Sailor 1911L model, but with a few special touches - the bespoke nib, the cloisonne cap band, and the barrel has a brass housing for the section instead of plastic.
