Sailor King of Pens Tame-nuri Raden Fountain Pen - Nami (Limited Edition)
This oversized Sailor 1911 King of Pens fountain pen features a black ebonite cap and barrel with raden detailing, and a resin grip section. It comes equipped with Sailor's legendary 21k gold nib in the massive King of Pens size.
Handcrafted by expert artisans, each Tame-nuri Raden ‘Nami’ pen is a unique creation, imbued with personality and artistry. It is not just a pen—it is a testament to the richness of Japanese craftsmanship, a harmonious blend of tradition and elegance that transforms writing into an experience. Crafted from ebonite, >the pen offers a warm, organic feel. Ebonite is prized for its durability, smooth texture, and ability to develop a rich patina over time, further adding to the uniqueness of each piece.
The name ‘Nami’ (波) means “waves” in Japanese, beautifully reflecting the fluid, rhythmic patterns created through the combination of Tame-nuri and Raden techniques:
- Tame-nuri – Layered lacquer application creating a deep, glowing transparency.
- Raden – Delicate shell inlays reflecting light in a mesmerizing spectrum of colors.
At the heart of this masterpiece is Sailor’s large-size King of Pen (KOP) nib, crafted from 21K solid gold with additional gold plating. Renowned for its exceptional smoothness, flexibility, and responsiveness, this nib delivers an unparalleled writing experience, making every stroke feel effortless and refined.
Tamenuri is an ancient Japanese traditional Urushi technique.
This limited edition is truly exclusive, available exclusively through authorized Sailor Bespoke dealers.
