Sailor Calligraphy Fountain Pen Fude de Mannen 55°
The Sailor Fude de Mannen 55° is a calligraphy fountain pen designed for expressive writing and artistic work. Its distinctive 55-degree bent stainless steel nib allows for varying line widths depending on the writing angle – from fine strokes to broad, dynamic lines. This makes it suitable for calligraphy, hand lettering, sketching, or creative note-taking. The lightweight plastic body sits comfortably in the hand, providing ease of use even during longer writing or drawing sessions. The Fude de Mannen is compatible with Sailor standard ink cartridges and can also be used with a converter. Its unique nib design offers an interesting alternative to traditional fountain pens or brush pens.
The 55° nib is recommended for people who write with the pen held upright, while the 40° nibs are recommended for those who write with the pen held at a lower angle.”
Since its establishment in 1911, the Sailor Pen Co. has consistently adhered to its belief in the importance of precise writing instruments. Even today, Sailor offers the discerning customer technical perfection and the highest writing quality.
