Review Redux – The Sailor Imperial Black Fountain Pen

January 5, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

I can’t believe I bought this pen four years ago. It feels like just yesterday when I was waiting for the mail to come, rushing downstairs, and opening up the package directly from Japan.

It’s definitely an interesting concept, but how does it hold up when in use? Read on to find out!
