The Sailor with the steel Zoom nib has been a pleasant surprise. The nib puts down a nicely wet line with excellent consistency and is far smoother than I expected from a steel nib. It does have Sailor’s characteristic pencil-like sound while writing, but there’s no scratchiness at all - just smooth, controlled feedback.
The pen itself feels slightly small and light in hand, and I found it much better balanced with the cap posted, which gives it the right length and weight for longer writing sessions.
For a fountain pen under ₹10,000, the writing experience is genuinely impressive. I did not expect this level of smoothness, flow, and overall refinement from a steel nib.
Special shout out to our super courteous sales support super man Sam! Haven’t seen such gentle but effective follow ups till I made the purchase. Kudos Man!
