About Sailor

Sailor was founded in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1911 by Kyugoro Sakata, an engineer who fell in love with fountain pens brought home by a British sailor, and it was the first company to make gold nibs in Japan. More than a century later, Sailor is famous worldwide for its fountain pens and inks, but it also makes some of Japan’s best-loved everyday writing tools. Its multifunction pens bring Japanese practicality and attention to detail to the pen you use most often.

Three tools in one

A multifunction pen puts several writing tools into one slim body. Each of these Sailor pens combines two oil-based ballpoints, in black and red, with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. You choose the function by twisting the barrel: turn it to one position for black ink, another for red, and a third for the pencil, which is advanced by pressing the top of the pen. It is the perfect tool for students, teachers, accountants, editors and anyone who marks up documents, keeps a planner or switches between writing and sketching through the day.

The Brown finish

The Brown Metalino Spot is finished in a warm, chocolate brown with chrome trim. Brown is an unusual colour for an everyday pen, and it gives this one a classic, understated character, like a well-worn leather notebook or a wooden desk.

The Spot series

The Spot series is a special edition of the Metalino, offered in a selection of rich colours with a slim aluminium body and bright chrome accents.

Using the Brown Metalino Spot

Twist the barrel of the Sailor Metalino Spot Brown multifunction pen to select black ink, red ink or the pencil, and twist back to the neutral position to retract the tip. The Brown Metalino Spot is about 142mm long and 14mm across and weighs about 24.6g, so it is light enough to carry all day, and the Brown pen’s chrome clip holds it securely on a notebook cover or a shirt pocket.

Refills and leads

Both the ballpoint refills and the pencil leads are replaceable. The ballpoints take slim multi-pen refills with a 0.7mm tip, and the pencil uses standard 0.5mm leads, which are available everywhere in a range of grades.

Who it is for

The Sailor Metalino Spot Brown multifunction pen is ideal for students who switch between notes, corrections and diagrams, for teachers and editors who mark work in red, for accountants and engineers who need a pencil to hand, and for planners and journal keepers who colour-code their days. Because the Brown Metalino Spot replaces three separate pens, it also makes a pencil case or a handbag much lighter.

Caring for your multifunction pen

A multifunction pen needs almost no care. Always retract the active refill before putting the pen in a pocket, wipe the body with a soft cloth now and then, and keep it in a pen case or pouch so the finish stays fresh. When a refill runs out, replace it with a refill of the same type, and refill the pencil with good-quality 0.5mm leads to avoid breakage.

Why a Japanese multipen?

Japan is famous for its stationery, and multifunction pens are one of its great specialities. Japanese makers design them to be slim, light and precise, with mechanisms that switch smoothly and refills that write cleanly from the first stroke. A single pen replaces three, so your pencil case is lighter and you are never searching for a red pen or a pencil when you need one. Once you have used a good multifunction pen, it is hard to go back.

Planning and colour-coding

Many owners of the Brown Metalino Spot use its three functions as a simple colour-coding system. On the Brown pen, black ink is for everyday notes and appointments, red is for deadlines, corrections and anything urgent, and the pencil is for plans that might change, rough sketches and quick calculations. In a diary or bullet journal, the Brown pen lets you keep your pages organised without carrying a pencil case, and in meetings it means you can underline action points in red the moment they are agreed. It is a small habit, and the Brown Metalino Spot makes it effortless.

Styling the Brown

Brown pairs naturally with leather planners, kraft paper and natural materials, and it suits a warm, vintage-inspired style. It is a thoughtful gift for a teacher, an accountant or anyone who prefers something a little different from black and blue.

A gift worth giving

Looking for a gift? A fine pen is one of the most personal presents you can give: something used every day, kept for years and remembered every time it is picked up. It is ideal for graduations, promotions, birthdays, weddings, retirements and corporate gifting. It arrives in the brand’s original packaging, ready to present.

Pair it with good paper

Good paper makes a noticeable difference. On smooth, quality paper, lines stay sharp, colours look richer and the pen glides more easily. If you write a lot, it is worth choosing a notebook with paper that is kind to ink.
