'Naginata Cross-Point' nib by Nobuyoshi Nagahara:
This unique nib is hand crafter by Sailor's world renowned Nib designer Nobuyoshi Nagahara who has been a nib specialist for over 60 years with Sailor Pen.
A long lost technique of making 'Naginata Togi' (Japan long sword) nib was revived by him. A request from a calligraphy artist started Mr. Nagahara to future focus his attention on specialist nib development.
The special nib called the 'Naginata Cross-Point' is created by specially crafting two pen nibs together on top of another. The Special Tipping Material is then applied and then uniquely slit into a Cross at the tip. The tip is then meticulously shaped and polished to perfection creating the masterpiece of smooth writing style with good ink flow and feel like 'writing with a brush pen itself'.
The nib allows a variety of writing strokes and even when reversed, it writes fine. Mr, Nagahara has also created other special nibs showing the world the unlimited possibilities of nib design and craftsmanship. Please enjoy this special Limited Edition pen with a unique Sailor nib personally handmade by Mr. Nagahara.
The writing instrument is new and unused, the fountain pen is factory sealed, and it comes with its presentation box, inkwell, documents, and outer box.
