Description
Also known as the "Sapporo Mini" the Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini pocket fountain pen is back in North America! The Mini is a shorter length (14.5mm shorter when capped) than the Professional Gear Slim, making it a compact size to fit your on-the-go writing needs. With the cap posted on the barrel, the length is a comparable 11mm shorter than the Slim. The Slim Mini might be smaller but it packs the same quality 14kt gold Sailor nib that writers have come to know and love.
This mini design has some major style. Meet the Professional Gear Slim Mini - Rencontre by Sailor, an elegantly marbled pocket-sized delight. Rencontre is French for “encounter,” and the color names follow suit: Gres Fir translates to “Iron Gray,” Bordeaux Fonce is French for “Dark Burgundy,” and Bleu Ciel means “Sky Blue.” The marbling is especially interesting in this design as this is notoriously difficult to achieve with an injection molding process. Due to the nature of marbling, each pen barrel will feature slight variations that only serve to add value to each individual pen.
Due to the smaller size of the barrel, the Slim Mini will only accept a Sailor proprietary ink cartridge refill or the Sailor mini converter (sold separately).
