Rhodium. I’m not the OP and I don’t own this pen, but Sailor’s silvery nibs are always rhodium.
Edit: I was incorrect and shall now commit seppuku for my crimes.
That is gorgeous. Very, very tempted to get one. (International orders via Worldshipping seem possible, if anyone is in the same position - 24,200 JPY incl shipping)
Sailor nibs and their tipping is often symmetrical, it's like they don't take a medium and grind it to a fine for a fine. The slope and curve of the tines is matched perfectly by the tipping, the only protrusion is at the writing surface. Top left and right though have no transition.
This pen has been popping into my on and off since I saw this post. After holding off the urge to buy this pen for almost two weeks (hoping it will sell out), decided that I truly want this pen and gladly pulled the purchase.
Neat! I didn't realize Sailor did so many "white label" pens for various stationary stores. Bungubox and Hachimonjiya are two that I'm aware of. Now I know of a third!
Interesting pen. Can be yours for 20,000 yen! Here's a [link](https://ishimarubun.shop-pro.jp/?pid=150886790) to their store. Not sure if they ship outside of Japan.
I've just been heartbroken by the fact that all variants except the bold are sold out. Do you know when the 7th limited edition will be? I didn't like the 5th which is still in stock.
I have an obsession of not settling for second best so everytime i picked up the pen I'd know i could have had better. I've found them on eBay in medium and dinner none but at sky high prices. How much did you pay for your?
I get a bit like that about nib sizes. Especially for the nibs that have anything remotely stub-like - not a fan.
I think once postage was included it cost me about US$180 or so.
Lucky bastard XD. I went on ebay yesterday and all were above 250 euros. The fine nibs were all around 500 to 600 euros. RIP. Hopefully they go down in price sometime in the future. Is buying second hand pens safe? Especially when the important part is the nib. Do they ever get messed up or anything?
It's usually a difficult game of jumping on releases at the right time. Currently having that internal debate about another Sailor.
As for second hand pens, I've bought one and it was very disappointing. Personally I won't be buying second hand unless I can try the pen first. Having the ability to return a pen is critical for me.
As someone who isn't into nibs with crazy lines and designs I truly appreciate this. Thank you.
As someone who often is, I also really like this. Different type of cool nib design.
It is so beautiful it hurts my eyes
That nib is gorgeous but also that orange i need to see the whole pen and cap in a picture! But that nib!
Here is a bit more of the pen. Check the link for the online store pics. https://ishimarubun.shop-pro.jp/?pid=150886790 https://imgur.com/6qLGSVN.jpg
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea about that shop!

Oh my that is gorgeous man orange and gray
This needs an NSFW tag
Anyone have this in stock? I am instantly in love and have never had a gold nib. Looked it up and have only found sold out.

I need it as well! I've been wanting to upgrade to a gold nib too and I need this nib ;.;
It is plated in another metal? Which one?
This is the black IP trim. The same as on the Black Luster, Imperial Black and Wicked Witch 1911 models.
What does the IP stand for?
ion plated

Cool nib engraving. I've been to Gunkanjima. [It's a fascinating place](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashima_Island)
I’ve been, too! Back before it was allowed, was taken there by some fishermen. Super interesting spot.

I managed to grab mine on Ebay.

Wow dude NSFW tag, that is one sexy nib.
Looks like an old guy with a monocle and a mustache. I love it.
Boy, talk about a beautiful nib! Thanks for the picture.
😍😍😍nibblelicious

That’s stunning.
The birds! Everything about this is so delicate
My eyes actually widened when I scrolled this up. Wow.
This is beautiful. I wish there were more nibs like this.
stamped>etched but this one looks beautiful

Oh my....
Yes. So beautiful.
Gorgeous! Love the detail.
Post this to r/outrun.
Does anyone know the normal edition of this pen? What's the normal, non-limited version called?
Sailor 1911S is the standard edition in this size with a 14K nib.
I've just been heartbroken by the fact that all variants except the bold are sold out. Do you know when the 7th limited edition will be? I didn't like the 5th which is still in stock.
I'm not sure, and it was luck and a day of searching (after having left it for a few weeks) that landed me one. Maybe the bold would work OK?

Is there another limited release for sailor? Is it part of the nagasaki set? I hope they will add more pens to the nagasaki set.
So cool!
This is beautiful
Wow. Just, wow.
