A masterwork of metal artistry, the CYLINT “Patina” fountain pen transforms 400 years of traditional Japanese craftsmanship into a writing tool of rare beauty. Each pen is uniquely finished using the “sugar-burning” method from Toyama’s Takaoka region, creating a mottled peacock-brown sheen that evolves over time. Crafted for both aesthetic richness and writing performance, it’s a striking collector’s item and daily-use pen in one.
Key Features
-
Traditional Patina Technique: Finished using Takaoka’s 400-year-old “sugar-burning” metal patination process, which reacts flame and chemicals to a copper surface to achieve a shimmering, mottled look.
-
Evolving Appearance: With use, the brass and copper finish develops deeper tones, like the fade of well-worn denim—making each pen more personal over time.
-
Premium Writing Performance: Equipped with Sailor’s renowned 21K gold nib in medium size, delivering precise ink flow and a velvety writing experience.
-
High-End Craftsmanship: Metal barrel and cap crafted from brass with hand-applied coloration, balanced with gold IP trim for a refined, weighty feel.
-
Made in Japan: Developed in Toyama Prefecture by skilled metal artisans, blending heritage techniques with Sailor’s modern pen engineering.
