How does a Sailor extra-fine nib write in comparison with the medium-fine? How does it write in comparison to a Lamy extra-fine? What exactly does a zoom nib do? How thick is the Sailor Music nib? All of these curiosities are answered in this comparison video that shows all the various Sailor fountain pen nib sizes side-by-side for an apples to apples evaluation. Ink used is Sailor Jentle Blue-Black. Music is Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2, S. 244/2, orch. arr. by composer Franz Liszt and performed by the National Military Band.

Superlative video, and the comparison with the Lamy EF as well as the Omas Medium makes it all clear. Thanks for presenting this.

Great video. Exactly what I was wanting to see. Love the music nib and background music too.

@hetul784 4 года назад

Fine, medium-fine, medium, broad and *SHARPIE* thanks for the info

@mbrambhatt Год назад

More like medical needle (EF), sewing needle (F), extra-fine (M-F), fine (M), fine-medium (broad), soft tip (zoom), sketch pen/sharpie (music). Sailor need bb & bbb nibs along with enlarging their large pens.

A very helpful comparison video, thanks.

@jasondaniel918 3 года назад

This is an excellent info video. Thank you. I use different size nib points for different kinds of writing. My favorite general writing nib is the Japanese B nib. It is vaguely like a wet Western M nib, but it lays a bolder line while being very smooth. I have mostly Danitrio, Platinum and Namiki nibs. I need to try some Sailor nibs, too. This video is good motivation to get going on the Sailor trials.

@pdexBigTeacher 4 года назад

Thanks; now it seems my favorite Sailor nib now is Broad. The same way Nike shoes tend to run smaller and slenderer on my feet, Sailor nibs tend to be finer. My Purple Cosmos is a fine nib; it's quite toothy, which is not my preference. The Broad seems to give me the expressiveness I like without being gushy and thick, and I'm sure it will be a smoother writing experience.

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

I totally get it! Need that buttery smoothness!

@user-ys6pt1dr2h 3 года назад

I'm usually firmly in the EF to FM camp, but the B nib is very nice for Western writing.

@brendacroft4819 4 года назад

How does the Sailor 1911 21kt nib in med. fine compare to a Parker Duofold Centennial (1990 ver.) in a med. nib. I have looking for a quality daily use pen with a smooth feel and not a wet writer. I like the Sailor Professional Gear in black/gold trim and cannot decide if I should consider a medium or medium fine nib. Some of my Cross mediums lean to the wet side and I am a slow writer with style on the slightly smaller side of med.

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

Sailor nibs have a toothy feel, especially if you write with a medium-fine or finer. I'd suggest medium or broad.

@rooneye 6 лет назад

@donw5641 4 года назад

Great comparison / writing sample. Thank you. Does the S and L you write after 1911 stand for Standard 1911 size pen and Large 1911 size pen? Split screen Lamy EF and Sailor EF - genius!

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

Thank you. Yes, it does signify the 1911 standard and 1911 large.

@faizakabir2846 4 года назад

Hello Would you recommend/suggest fine or medium fine? Which nib writes wetter? I’m confused between the two.

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

They have an extremely subtle difference between the two. The medium-fine would write a small degree thicker and wetter than the fine point.

@richardc6932 4 года назад

Did you specify the brand and make of the writing paper or did I miss something. Is this Tomoe River paper? If not can you do the same comparison using TR paper at some point.

@Ryan_H22 4 года назад

Doesn't look like TR paper to me. Better than copy paper? Maybe Rhodia?

@acninee 4 года назад

What I want to know is how you get a Lamy F or EF to write with such a smooth, juicy flow. Please share.

@GoldspotPens 4 года назад

Sometimes, it might not be the pen or the nib to blame. It might be the ink and paper. Try different inks first. You may find one that has wetter flow for your Lamy nibs. A smoother grade of paper, one that is more fountain pen friendly may also provide better performance over toothy, recycled papers.

@Wenda Ellis Macdonald, try and use sailor inks next time to see if there really is a problem with your pens. Be aware that sailors do have a sharp point pencil like feedback. My steel sailor, loaded with Sailor Black or Sailor kiwaguro always - always makes me smile with the feedback it gives me.
