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 Blue finish

The Blue Metalino Spot is finished in a bright, clear blue with polished chrome trim. It is fresh and confident, a colour that looks smart in an office and lively in a classroom.

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 Blue Metalino Spot

Twist the barrel of the Sailor Metalino Spot Blue multifunction pen to select black ink, red ink or the pencil, and twist back to the neutral position to retract the tip. The Blue 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 Blue 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. If you would like help finding the right refills for your Sailor multifunction pen, just ask our team.

Who it is for

The Sailor Metalino Spot Blue 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 Blue 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 Blue Metalino Spot use its three functions as a simple colour-coding system. On the Blue 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 Blue 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 Blue Metalino Spot makes it effortless.

Styling the Blue

Blue goes with denim, navy and white, and it is always at home in a professional setting. It is a dependable gift for students, engineers and office workers, and an easy choice when you do not know someone’s favourite colour.

A gift worth giving

This pen makes a thoughtful gift for students, professionals and anyone who still enjoys writing by hand. Unlike most gifts, a good pen is used every day and often kept for decades. It is a popular choice for birthdays, Diwali, anniversaries, new jobs and corporate occasions, and it comes in the original brand packaging.

Pair it with good paper

Paper matters as much as the pen. A smooth, well-sized paper lets your pen glide, keeps your writing crisp and shows off the colour of your ink. Explore our range of notebooks, journals and pads to complete your writing set.
