Sailor 1911 Large Fountain Pen - Hard Maple - Limited Edition
Sailor 1911 Large Fountain Pen - Hard Maple - Limited Edition
The Sailor 1911L Maple Fountain Pen combines natural beauty with advanced craftsmanship. Made from high-quality maple wood, each pen is treated with WPC (Wood-Plastic Combination) technology, where plastic particles are infused into the wood. This makes the pen more durable and resistant to wear, moisture, fire, and chemicals while keeping the natural wood's elegant look and feel. A frosted finish and special coloring technique bring out the rich texture and create a smooth, consistent tone rarely seen in WPC-treated materials.
The pen comes in three beautiful colors: Natural, which highlights the soft grain and calming tone of maple wood; Indigo, a deep, stylish shade popular among artisan craft lovers; and Vermilion, a classic reddish-orange with a warm, refined touch. With its strong build and refined design, this pen is perfect for everyday writing or as a thoughtful gift.

- Material: Maple Wood specially processed with WPC (Wood Plastic Combination)
- Grip section: Brass weighted with Gold Ion plating
- Trim: IP Gold plating
- Fill Mechanism: Cartridge/Converter (Sailor proprietary)

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and decided to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan—first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.
In the 1970s, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.
In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.
The 1911 offers a great balance and a smooth writing experience. The pen writes with a slight but satisfying feedback and it fits perfectly in the hand.
