There's no doubt that the Sailor King of Pen (KOP) Pro Gear is the best among the brand’s accessible pens when it comes to price. While there are higher priced King of Pen options made from more precious materials or created more painstakingly, the Pro Gear version is just right for someone looking for quality performance from a Japanese pen without having to momentarily go broke.

The KOP Pro Gear jumps on the popularity of the Pro Gear line and makes it just a bit bigger and more premium. While the standard Pro Gear and the KOP version both sport a 21K gold nib, KOP carries a larger one, which really improves the writing experience it offers. It also comes in fun colors to choose from, but if you’re interested in something classic-looking, then what we have is for you.

For sale is a used Sailor Pro Gear King of Pen fountain pen in black. It features platinum trims on its resin cap and barrel and carries a monotone, rhodium plated 21K gold B nib. It comes complete with its box and papers, although the box and the outer sleeve have signs of wear.
