I think this is a great innovation on Sailors part. Most of the functionality of fountain pens hasn't changed in over 70 years. Seeing something brand new, that could be very helpful to a number of people is really excellent. Bravo Sailor!
Fascinating! Feels like a direct shot at the Safari, and way cuter. Love the sage one, might need to try it for converting new fountain pen users
This is just like the Stabilo EasyBirdy fountain pen, except the EasyBirdy has a little tool that goes into the grip section to unscrew a small collar and there are only three settings. The EasyBirdy comes in left and right hand versions and the grip is mirror imaged on both. They come set to the middle setting, but you can take the tool, unscrew the collar, turn the nib to one of the other settings, then screw the collar back down. There are also ridges and notches in the grip, but only three possible settings. You also have to take the ink cartridge or converter out to adjust the setting. Lamy is unique in having the flats centered on their pens. Many other makers like Schneider and Pelikan don't center their flats and have mirror imaged grips for left and right handers. The Schneider Base and Base Kid and Pelikano and Pelikano Jr. are good examples of this
"Sailor Tuzu Adjust delivers a rich palette of vibrant colors and superior ink flow, making it an excellent choice for both everyday writing and artistic endeavors."
I have a Sailor Lecoule, which I bought because I wanted to see if I would like the size of their Pro Gear Slims.
(I do, but I think I would prefer the slightly bigger Pro Gear size)
The Lecoule is basically the same as their Pro Gear Slim, but it has a steel nib.
And to my surprise, and delight, that Lecoule, Medium Fine, steel nib is one of my favourite steels nibs!
So I think it's great that Sailor has a new (full size) steel nib pen!
I don't know if I like the looks of this pen, I think I prefer the more "classic" look of their Pro Gears, but that is very personal, of course.
And I wish they would have added the Medium Fine nib option in there as well, because I love that nib!
But I think the fact that you can change the grip section of the pen is very interesting (although I might be one of those indecisive people who will keep changing it, back and forth..).
And besides lefties, I think it could be useful for people that might suffer from some hand/muscle issues (I have RSI and think it would be really nice), or that just want to be able to change their grip during a long writing session.
Annnd, it also means you can mix and match the grip sections if you would get multiple of these pens!
had a totally hopeless grip in school which I changed to the standard tripod grip in my 6th year, secondary: so have not needed any of the ‘adaptations’ for lefties but respect Sailor for developing this product:); thanks for bringing it to my attention:)
What is the feedback like compared to the gold nibs? Sailor feedback is fantastic, and I’m wondering if they kept it in these models.
The engineering on this pen is really fascinating!
Super!
I really dislike how skinny the Lamy gets in the grip section, but this Sailor looks like a great option for me as it's a more comfortable grip section. Pretty excited to try one and the price point is quite nice!
This looks very interesting. Thank you for touching on the possibilities for lefties like me who curl our hand around so that we're almost writing upside down!
This is a really interesting innovation! I'll look forward to trying it out. Sailor's steel nib pens are quite nice. I have four from the Hisakata (or Procolor) series, all in fine nib size, and they're super reliable.
Hi. Can you do the nib comparison please?
Oh thank god, I've been waiting for this video :D
This looks fantastic ☺☺
Nice pens! Great video!
Love this idea, it should help a lot of people who steer away from the Lamy Safari’s grip. I’m curious how Sailor’s steel nibs compare with their gold, do they have the same level of feedback?
It would also be useful to compare it directly with Lamy.
My Sailors with steel nibs write quite similarly to my gold nibbed Sailors. The feel is also very different from Lamy's nibs (and I have a lot of Lamy pens as well). In my experience, Lamy has a larger difference in the way their gold and steel nibs write. This goes for both the pens like the Safari (I have a few with gold nibs of this type) and the 2000 (there are older pens that use the steel version of the 2000 nib. I have a few of those too)
how does it write? Compared to the Lamy or Metropolitan?
Does this nib write in reverse okay? Then it would be super handy to be able to adjust the triangle grip, which usually is a major drag when writing in reverse.
who tf writes reversed...... 😡😡😡
@@liberioescriba6158 maybe nobody writes that way, but some of us draw that way.
@@liberioescriba6158People who write in Arabic script do.
I really think the round grips are much better for reverse writing. Any pen I have with the nib set up for both reverse and regular writing has a round grip for this reason. It's kind of a hassle to stop and turn the grip around. You have to unscrew the barrel and collar. I'd get the Sailor HiAce Neo instead for reverse writing or the Lecoule. You can make sure to get your nib tuned so it will work properly in reverse. Most nibs don't have trouble in reverse from a technical standpoint. You just have to make sure they are properly tuned on that side so that they will write properly. Most makers only tune one side, the regular writing side, but most any competent nib person should be able to get the other side working for you
I love Sailor, but they heard us crying out for something with decent ink capacity... and gave us a pen with the most divisive type of section design in the FP world? 😭
