Sailor 1911L Fountain Pen - Themis
The Sailor 1911L Themis fountain pen was originally created exclusively for the ITO-YA in Japan, but is now available for the first time in North America.
The 1911L Themis is finished in a beautiful gray color that radiates a modern, casual feel while maintaining a refined look. The pen features a well-balanced, black IP-finished metal grip section that enhances the writing experience by providing a satisfying weight and allowing for smoother strokes without the need for excessive pressure, making it ideal for extended writing sessions. Additionally, this model showcases Sailor’s unique 21K solid gold nib, finished with black IP.
This model is aptly named "Themis" after the Greek goddess known as the personification of law, order, and justice. In Greek mythology, Themis is a symbol of fairness, balance, and rightful counsel, often depicted holding scales and a sword to represent impartiality and truth. Her presence symbolizes the timeless pursuit of justice—a fitting inspiration for this pen, which has been thoughtfully designed with legal professionals and students of law in mind.
The name "Themis" reflects Sailor’s commitment to providing tools that support those who champion justice, emphasizing the pen’s practicality, elegance, and thoughtful construction. Like the goddess herself, the 1911L Themis brings balance to its user, offering stability, control, and a writing experience that stands up to the demands of a professional environment.
The Sailor 1911 Large fountain pen comes equipped with Sailor's legendary black ion 21k gold nib in several nib sizes. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.

Sailor notes that the ion-plated nib should only be used with Sailor inks to avoid damage. While we have tested these nibs with other inks, we do recommend using Sailor inks if you wish to maintain the 1 year manufacturer warranty.
