Sailor 11-1224-301 Fountain Pen, SHIKIORI Snow Moon Sky Leaf, Spring Sky, Medium Point

The Sailor 11-1224-301 Fountain Pen in SHIKIORI Snow Moon Sky Leaf, Spring Sky, Medium Point is a great all-around pen for someone looking to try out gold nibs. It writes smoothly with Sailor's recognizable "pencil-like" feedback. While it is a compact pen, it isn't too small and its writing experience is exceptional. It comes in a clamshell box and has a 14K MF nib (which is close to a fine). However, the nib might be too wet for some people, and the weight of the pen is not balanced according to one reviewer. Another reviewer had trouble with the pen disassembling when they tried to unscrew the cap, leading to ink spills. Additionally, the pen might not come with a converter, and the nib size labeled as "medium" might actually be more similar to a "fine" European nib.
