Sailor Profit Standard
The Sailor Profit Standard is a classic Japanese fountain pen that combines Sailor's understated design with the practical proportions that have made the Profit series a long-standing favorite among fountain pen enthusiasts. Its deep Black finish gives the pen a warm, elegant appearance while maintaining the simple and professional styling associated with Sailor's traditional fountain pens.
The Profit Standard has a well-balanced, cigar-shaped profile with a gently tapered barrel and cap. Its relatively straightforward design places the emphasis on the quality of the materials, trim, and writing experience rather than elaborate decoration. The maroon color adds a particularly attractive vintage-inspired character to the otherwise understated design.
The Sailor Profit name is one of the company's most recognizable fountain pen lines. The series has been produced in numerous configurations and finishes over the years, ranging from everyday models to higher-grade versions equipped with larger gold nibs. This Standard model represents the more accessible and practical side of the Profit family while retaining Sailor's characteristic attention to detail.
The pen's size and balanced shape make it comfortable for everyday writing and suitable for a wide range of users. Its relatively simple construction also makes it an appealing choice for collectors who appreciate classic Japanese fountain pen design without excessive ornamentation.
Sailor 14K Gold nib
The 14K gold nib of the Sailor Profit Standard showcases the precision and craftsmanship that have made Sailor one of Japan's most respected fountain pen manufacturers. Handcrafted in Japan, the nib delivers a writing experience that is smooth, dependable, and remarkably precise.
Rather than feeling overly soft, the 14K nib offers a firm yet responsive character with Sailor's signature pencil-like feedback, allowing you to maintain excellent control while staying connected to the page. The consistent ink flow and crisp line definition make it equally well suited for everyday writing, note-taking, and longer writing sessions.
Perfectly matched to the pen's slim, lightweight body, the nib creates a balanced and comfortable writing experience with minimal fatigue. Its combination of precision, reliability, and subtle tactile feel has earned Sailor gold nibs a loyal following among fountain pen enthusiasts around the world.
