Bump: Ivory reduced to $220.

Big thanks to gylyf for the fast shipping and excellent product. Highly recommended!

Question, if the Sailor nib was a zoom nib, ground by Dan Smith, would it be considered more of and architect nib? The tines on a Naginata Togi Nib tend to be elongated. It does not appear the nib has been modified in such a way. Thanks.

I asked Dan for a NT-like grind, hence my referring to it as such. You're correct that it doesn't have the elongated tines of a real NT. However, it's also not nearly as sharp as a typical architect. Please note, also, that the pen has been sold - my apologies for not updating the thread sooner!
