Designed for writers who appreciate both performance and longevity, this unique fountain pen offers a writing experience that becomes even more rewarding with time, developing a richer appearance and a more personalized feel through years of use.

Crafted from premium Black Canvas Micarta and fitted with Sailor’s renowned large-size 21K gold nib, the Micarta Black GT is a sophisticated everyday companion designed to be treasured for a lifetime.

The Unique Appeal of Micarta

Originally developed as an industrial insulation material, Micarta is highly valued for its exceptional strength, water resistance, durability, and resistance to wear. Today, it remains a favorite material among premium knife makers due to its lightweight feel, outstanding grip, and ability to withstand years of intensive use.

Unlike traditional resin pens, Micarta requires virtually no special maintenance and is highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, and humidity-related distortion. As the material ages, it develops a deeper color and a natural luster that enhances its character and individuality.

Superior Grip and Writing Comfort

For fountain pen enthusiasts, comfort is just as important as nib performance. The Sailor Micarta Black GT utilizes Canvas Micarta, a layered material composed of cloth and paper laminates that creates a distinctive fibrous texture with a warm, organic feel.

The result is an exceptionally comfortable grip that naturally guides the fingers into a relaxed writing position. Whether used for quick notes or extended writing sessions, the pen feels secure and balanced in the hand, reducing fatigue while enhancing control.

Elegant Black Micarta Finish

The rich black appearance of the Sailor Micarta Black GT is a natural characteristic of the material itself rather than a surface coating. This gives the pen a subtle depth and understated sophistication that differs from the glossy shine of conventional resin fountain pens.

Every piece of Micarta displays its own unique texture, pattern, and tonal variations, ensuring that no two pens are exactly alike. Over time, the surface gradually polishes through use, becoming smoother, darker, and even more visually appealing.

Legendary Sailor Writing Performance

At the heart of the Sailor Micarta Black GT lies a large-size 21K gold nib with luxurious gold plating. Renowned worldwide for its precision, smoothness, and distinctive writing feel, Sailor’s nib craftsmanship delivers exceptional control, responsiveness, and reliability.

Whether used for everyday writing, journaling, note-taking, or professional correspondence, the nib provides a refined and enjoyable writing experience worthy of Sailor’s reputation.

About Sailor

Sailor pens was established in 1911 in Japan, becoming the first to produce fountain pens in their home country. They have subsequently built a first-class reputation in the manufacture of the highest quality nibs, with all parts made in their own factory in Hiroshima. Their flagship collections are the classic 1911 and boldly designed Professional Gear, all available with a 14k or 21k gold nib. The Sailor name comes from founder Kyugoro Sakata's British sailor friend who introduced him to fountain pens.
