Its a really good piston filling fountain pen. I like it.

Commendable smoothness of the pen, great service by the makoba team, very helpful n responsive. Thank you.

Ink delivery is smooth.Excellent for work writing quickly

Japanese make one of the world’s best fountain pens and ink, and the SAILOR is one of Japan's three principal pen manufacturers. I love their fountain pens and inks.
It’s a genuine product that is made in Japan. The delivery was on time and was well-packed, ensuring no damage to the pen. It came in a well-built cardboard box and with proper cushioning. It came in a nice box with 2 proprietary (black) ink cartridges and a piston converter. So that one can use it right away.
It’s a high-quality resin body with a 14k Gold nib that literally works buttery smooth on paper. I don’t want to comment much on the quality of this pen, as Sailor is one of the gold standards of fountain pens. Perhaps I will make a separate detailed review later.
The price seems a bit high for the Indian market, but nonetheless, it's value for money. But I won't recommend this pen for beginners or people looking for a starter fountain pen. Overall, it was a satisfying experience! I hope this info helps you to decide on your future orders.

I bought the medium nib and it's extremely smooth and wet. The pen looks amazing with the added clip and the included converter is cute.

This pen combines the convenience of a retractable pen with the elegance of a fountain pen. while it may be pricey, its innovative design and superb performance make it worth the investment fountain pen aficionados.

A premium ebonite with multi-colors at this price point is a fantastic value for money. A must buy.

Excellent product and amazing quality. Good investment to keep your valuable pens safe.

Not only are the selling the best products at the best price, but the are also nice people to do business with.

Beautifully crafted and superb leather quality. The navy blue colour is so rich. However, I have a suggestion for the company. Instead of the option of the slim A6 notebook on the right sleeve if the company gives 2 pockets and 2 extra pen loops then would be really useful for fountain pen lovers. One could fit in 2 extra pens and also use the slip pockets to store various accessories like pen drives. blotting paper, extra converter/ cartridges, an ink vial, etc. Mokoba always provides best price, fast shipment and safe delivery and hence the overall experience was 5 star.

First of all I would like to appreciate Makoba's service. It's top notch, the delivery was superfast(2 days, I live in tier 2 city so most delivery take atleast 3-4 days) packaging was awesome so product wasn't damaged and the pen in itself is awesome. This is my first pen and I am using diamine sapphire blue ink and it's working good. At first the pen wasn't working properly, I thought it was a manufacturing defect but soon realised my pen holding technique wasn't good but now it's working fine and it glides over paper like butter. The ink flow is good and so far it's definately been worth it. I wrote 3 full pages without even realising and my hand doesn't hurt at all. And you can write fast too and it will work properly. The pen's build quality is top notch and it just feels good quality by holding it. Only one issue the colors are not exactly the same as shown is images

The shopping experience is excellent. The MAKOBA site is very user friendly and has a wide range of pens. The payment process was also smooth and packaging was perfect.
The pen is beautiful and very slim which is good for me as I have small hands. The nib is smooth with no incidence of hard-start or skipping. Howver it writes a bit dry to my liking.
MAKOBA supplied me with an extra SCHMIDT convertor as Diplomat does not supply it. My best gratitude for your extra efforts, however the convertor did not fit into the pen as its length was smaller. However I am using it with my other pens.

Easily one of the best writer in my collection. The overall size and dimensions are perfect. The nib is extremely well tuned and smooth for a fine nib. Love the color. This purchase has definitely turned me into a big Estie fan so much that I purchased a second one (Rainforest) within 2 days from my first purchase.

Pilot Kakuno, purchased with a fine nib, is an excellent choice for hobby newcomers. Despite its playful appearance, it performs admirably and features a triangular grip ideal for beginners. However, the absence of a converter is a notable drawback.

Kon-peki really is the perfect shade of blue for me. Unlike navy Shinkai or turquoise Ama-iro, it’s very balanced and gives that nice gel pen shade. It’s a pleasure to write with just the right amount of wetness which dries quick. Possibly my staple ink from now on
