If you're into journaling, sketching, or just want your handwriting to have a little more personality, this Sailor Fude De Mannen is definitely something to look into. It's not your average fountain pen. The nib is angled in a really unique way (it's called the “Wakatake” nib) and it lets you create both thin and thick lines just by changing how you hold the pen.

That angled tip might look a little weird at first, but it’s actually pretty easy to get used to. You don’t need to hold it in a fancy calligraphy grip or do anything special. Just write like you normally would, and the pen naturally gives you some nice variation in your lines. It almost feels like a brush pen, but without all the mess or learning curve. Great for adding some flair to your notes, or for people who like the feel of expressive handwriting.

The Bamboo Green body gives it a fun, artsy look without being too loud. It's lightweight and comfortable to hold, especially if you tend to write with a more upright grip. So if you find regular fountain pens a bit awkward or scratchy, this might actually feel more natural.

It's a popular choice among artists, calligraphy beginners, and journalers because it's affordable, easy to use, and gives you that hand-drawn look without a ton of effort. It also works well with a wide variety of inks, so if you like to experiment with different colors or shimmer inks, this pen can handle it.

You don’t have to be a pro to enjoy using it, and it makes everyday writing feel a bit more creative. Whether you’re doodling, labeling planners, or adding a personal touch to letters and cards, it’s a fun tool to have around.
