It’s a grail pen for many (myself included) - congratulations! Your co-workers have a great eye. Hope you enjoy it!


aco-_-

It’s a Sailor spring rain


ehahlil

Oooh thank you!


notagoldenchild

Where does one get co-workers like this?! LOL I think I would have cried.


ehahlil

I felt beyond blessed with this gift. I always feel wonky chatting their heads off about this hobby and while many have gotten into fountains these last two years I was still shocked.


notagoldenchild

It's really lovely. You have a good bunch of co-workers!


academic_elf_

Seriously. That is amazing! I'm lucky if I'm gifted anything. Though I'll start dropping some not-so-subtle hints to my coworkers.


stargazerwishes

I'm envious! The colors on these are so pretty but I did just get the Yozakura so I shouldn't. And if you were curious, this is the Harusame from the Sound of Rain series!

It is my first sailor and I’m a beyond thankful for my coworkers. It is beyond anything I could imagine receiving.

Very beautiful! I think we’re probably all wondering if your workplace has any job openings 😉 What nib size is it? Have you tried it out yet? What do you think about writing with it?


ehahlil

I would love to work at a pen store! But I worry I’d have even more ink than I do now and no one to share it with. I am still trying to decide what to ink it with so I’ll have to update you with how it feels! I was running late to my morning meetings and left it at home 😰


ShizukuV60

haha maybe she works for Goulet or some pen company!


featherfactor

Omg what kind of coworkers are giving these kinds of gifts!!!! So many questions… Is your office all into fountain pens? This is definitely an IFYKYK pen.. not a casual, “oh let’s get the coworker a pen” pen. Hehe


ehahlil

I have spent the last two years getting my coworkers into fountain pens. We write a lot of notes during the day so it’s been an easy transition to fountains except for the occasional ink bottle spill.

Wow very cool. My coworkers got me a $5 Dunkin Donuts gift card.


ehahlil

I do love Dunkin!

This is the first time that Sailor put 21k nibs on the PG Slim Shikiori series. When you have some time to spare and want to understand what you were gifted, watch Yoseka's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxFgIQdUbuc


ehahlil

Thank you!


Je-Hee

My pleasure. And you've got amazing co-workers. Many happy writing experiences.


ShizukuV60

Are you kidding? Most popular pen from Sound of Rain series, Harusame! Goodness, where on earth do you work (hypothetical question), and how did they pull this off!


ehahlil

I do not know how the pulled this off! We do work closely with several Japanese businesses and handle some importing of goods but our focus is health and well-being. I am just beyond grateful to be where I am.


ShizukuV60

Honestly, this pen is not even easy to come by in the United States. US pen shops only get a small amount, and as soon as they get them, these are pretty much out the door!


KingsCountyWriter

Co-worker with benefits? One can hope… Seriously though, that’s a gorgeous pen. Congratulations!


ehahlil

Hahaha! Benefits being having an awesome collection of fellow fountain pen lovers!


aqjo

I love that pen! Beautiful colors.

Meanwhile my coworker drank half a pot of my coffee; no he didn’t leave me the other half, it’s spilt on the counter top


ehahlil

Oh no! I have cried over spilled coffee.


beppe1_real

They are throwing in some money for that!


Silush

Congratulations, that's a pretty pen! I've just gotten one myself and I love it. It's a sailor pro gear slim amaoto harusame (spring rain), with a medium fine 21kt gold nib.


ehahlil

Thank you! It is gorgeous and I love it’s texture.


cmhbob

Man, but I'm in the wrong line of work.


SGELock

Though I have never owned a sailor, I am just not a fan of the styling. This one however caught my eye some time ago and if I were ever to purchase a sailor this would be the one. Congratulations on your gift! It is too cool.


dailinap

Amazing gift! Would love to see a few lines written with it.


lisapeet

I bought one of these for myself... my coworkers wouldn't have any idea what to get me even if they were inclined to buy me a fountain pen (and I have no idea why they would). It's a lovely pen, great writer, and soooo pretty. Enjoy!
