Sailor Specialty Nibs coming back soon?

**mikefromsac** · February 24th, 2018, 08:44 AM

Since Sailor stopped selling their speciality nibs last year so they can catch up on existing orders, does anybody know when they'll begin selling them again?

Ask the retailers, Taizo at engeika.com will very probably be able to give you a quick and accurate answer.

Did you find out anything?

I submitted a request at engeika.com. I'll get back when I hear something ...

I think Yoshiharu from eSellJapan on eBay can get hold of the Sailor specialty nibs. He has some Naginata Togi listed now in NMF with both gold and rhodium trim.

Does anyone have a definitive list of what nibs are available with the rhodium trim? I would very much like a Cross Concorde Emperor in rhodium trim.

I'm not 100% but i believe only the the single nib layer naginatas are offered in one-tone rhodium; so, basically not the cross, eagle, or cobra.

Be very careful with Engeika. I will not deal with them again. Gave him a lot of money which he kept 6 months to tell me the pen was not available. Run your business for six months on my $. Terrible communicator which I think I can understand why. I did finally get my money back

Some people deal with Engeika successfully time and time again, and some have problems.

I didn't give him a lot of money, nor did I let him keep it for as long as 6 months, but I placed orders that he didn't fulfil, nor was he very good about communicating with me. Although I got my money back, it was only thanks to having PayPal on my side.

Totally the opposite of my experiences but as they say YMMV and some of it may just be circumstance.

Over the years I must have bought 10 or more pens from Taizo of Entries, the most recent being a platinum tortoise celluloid which he did not have in stock but said would keep an eye out for me. A month later he told me he found one, quote a price, and sold me that pen. In earlier occasions, he did keep me waiting for six months to a year. The wait was never pleasant, but he delivered in the end, and that's why I kept doing business with him.
