    Default WTB Sailor Sapporo mini

    Looking for my next pocket pen - any nib considered, but the finer the better.

    Red or blue - not black and I might be persuaded on yellow.

    Edit: My apologies as I have a sapporo and not a sapporo mini.

    Let me know if you change your mind on black being an issue. I have a Sapporo with rhodium trim with a H-EF nib on it that writes glorious!

    If anyone else is interested in one of these, I found new ones here, and White Rabbit Express are sorting out the import. I'll update this when anything comes up!

    It's arrived, and is just what I was after. The H-F nib with Kiwa Guro is legible on the crappy paper we have in the office, and the pen itself is rather nice. About the size of a Kaweco Sport, but with a much nicer nib (and to be clear - I have three of them, with one nib out being modified ot CI, plus an F and a M - I like the Kawecos!)

    Photos to follow, but I can recommend Morita and White Rabbit Express!

    Compared (size wise) with a Kaweco Sport, a TWSBI Mini, and a Franklin Christoph Pocket 66. I like my pocket pens!

    Good catch! Nagasawa also sells sailor mini sizes and the call it sailor pen style memo, available on black, red and yellow, what I like about them is the section color matches the pen body.
