Sailor KOP Naginata Togi Ebonite MOUKO 猛虎

This was my first ever purchase of a Sailor King of Pens a.k.a. KOP. 

Limited to 500 worldwide, this KOP comes with the so-called Sailor Naginata Togi nib, which supposedly provides variation of line widths and has a degree of flex. This is due to its relatively longer tines compared to normal fountain pen nibs.

Officially named as the Naginata Togi Ebonite Fountain Pen, MOUKO, 猛虎, According to the Sailor product page, this pen is based on the painting of a Tiger by the artist, Jakuchu. The contrast of black and yellow is made to resemble a tiger's stripes pattern. 

The nib is 21K Gold with bi-color plating and the pen itself measures about 15.2 cm in length. My pen comes with a Medium Fine (MF) nib. While this pen also comes with Fine (F) and Broad (B) nibs besides the MF that I chose, the store in Tokyo which I bought it from only had the F and MF versions available during my visit.

Besides the fountain pen, the box also includes a bottle of fountain pen ink (50ml; black), a Gold-trim Ink Converter, a piece of pen cleaning cloth, 2 Sailor ink cartridges (black), as well as an instruction manual, product manual and a warranty card.

The MOUKO is part of a series that includes 5 previous editions. These are the KAIHA, KOUEN, RYOKKYO, SEKKEI and SYOKEI. 

The pen was released in the second half of 2024. I bought it in November 2024 and it was numbered 104 of 500. Since then, I had went on to add another Sailor KOP, a regular edition 1911 (or Pro Fit) to my growing pen collection.

Traveler's Notebook - Cloth Pouch

The Traveler's Notebook (TN) system from Traveler's Factory simply works for me. I have tried other systems both digital and analog but somehow keeps coming back to the TN system. I love the fact that using the TN system, I can customise my notebook in as many ways as I can imagine. In particular, I love TN's association with travel and cafe. I suppose cafes always come into the picture when we travel and need a place to rest and catch up on our journaling.  In addition to its notebook covers and notebook refills, there are also stickers, inserts and of course, cloth pouches. These cloth pouches are super handy and can be used to carry my TN cover and its notebook refills around. It also double up as my makeshift coin pouches when I travel. Using the smaller size cloth pouches, I segregate the various foreign currencies inside my crossbody bag. Besides this, there are numerous other uses for the cloth pouches and they can be washed and reused.  My favourite cloth pouch from...

New Pen Day - Pelikan M200 Smokey Quartz and M200 Golden Beryl

Finally, I was able to add these two Pelikan M200s to my personal pen collection.  I had missed out on the M200 Smokey Quartz that was first released in 2017 and the M200 Golden Beryl that was first released in 2021. Needless to say, I grabbed them both when I saw them at a store in Kuala Lumpur. Even though both of these pens were the last ones the store had in-stock, I just could not pass up on the opportunity to add them to my pen stash (a.k.a. collection). For some reasons which I can no longer remember, I started to collect the M200/205 series of Pelikan pens that were released each year in conjunction with the Edelstein Ink of the Year.  To date, I have collected 10 out of 11 in the series. The only one missing from my collection is the M205 Amethyst from 2015. The price of this now very rare pen in the secondary market is really high. Therefore, the M205 Amethyst  is likely to forever evade me and remain firmly in my "White Whale List" of pens. Nonetheless, I ...
