A massive global phenomenon and the most owned Jinhao in modern collections (>1,390 owners on FPC). Faithfully captures the Sailor Pro Gear Slim flat-top profile, dual cap bands, and proportion. Over 40 translucent, pastel, and solid colorways. Modular cap, barrel, and finial parts can be disassembled and mixed across pens ('Franken-pens'). Uses #5 steel nib instead of Sailor 14K gold.
