Assortment 1: Classic and Executive Style Designs, L–R:
• ProColor 300 Uchumizu BP & sharp - I fell in love with the clear blue design and wound up getting both the ballpoint and sharp. Sadly, it is a modern era Sailor, so the clutch is plastic.
• Reglus sharp - My first Sailor purchase. It was pricy at 3980 yen but it was the cheapest at the time. Plastic clutch :-/
• Profit clear BP
• Parabola Sharp in silver - only discovered its name recently. A nice modern design.
• Parabola Sharp & BP in gunmetal
• Hoscal BP (black accent) & sharp (red accent) - brass clutch!
• ‘Trident’ sharp - this was cross-licensed with Sheaffer pens.
• Cut-In BP - also cross-licensed with Sheaffer
• ‘Rolling’ BP - I think Sailor applied product names quite loosely. ‘Rolling’ was their brand of rollerball pens.
• Shuttle 3000 rollerball in metallic grey & gold - funky ‘tip-up’ design ala Pilot Vanishing Point
• Liquid-Ball Shuttle 300 - the all-plastic cheapie version
Assortment 2: Colorful and Contemporary Designs, L–R:
• ‘Tip-knock’ BP - works like a Platinum Bee Line ballpoint. You push the tip into the writing surface to extend the refill tip. Push it in to click and retract. Fascinating mechanism but prone to damage and very finicky with refill formats.
• F-1 JR BP yellow & black - lower cost version with mostly plastic parts
• F-1 JR SUS sharp - mid-tier version with steel upper
• F-1 SP & BP black, green, blue - main version with mostly steel parts
• F-1 Rolling No. 500 - Capless rollerball with F-1 styling. Press the red rubber ball in the clip to retract.
• F-1 JR Rolling No. 500 - plastic body version
• Bikini sharp - with the wondrous disconnected center-tube
• PENCIL sharp - Sailor’s take on the ubiquitous 100-yen hex body MP for school kids
• Cartridge sharp in pink & black - co-produced with Sheaffer and remarkably complex mechanism mainly to deal with fragile new-fangled 0.5 and 0.3 leads. Very prone to damage.
• Mach-2 500E duo-pen - SF hi-tech styling for a BP and MP on either end.
Assortment 3: Drafting and Modern Styles, L–R:
• N31 drafters 0.7mm in black, red, turquoise - I love the silhouette of these slender 12-sided designs, especially the long knock / eraser caps
• N31 drafters 0.5mm in blue, white
• Mulshan (Marshan?) duo-pen in blue, green, white, black - I got these when I was in my Smash-lookalike hunting phase
• Drawing Sharp 1000 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 - doppelgangers of the Uchida C Type
• Style Color BP in navy - simple design with a sleek binder clip
• Style Color GP in silver BP & black sharp - later version with a translucent rubber grip
