Sailor Pro Gear Slim Midnight Sky (Gunmetal Trim) F with DeAtramentis Document Black
Nice! I just picked up my first Sailor pen (Profit Black Luster) and the trim is very pretty. Enjoying the 21k nib quite a bit.
I recall you buying it and I'm glad you like it so far. Did you get a converter in the end?
By the way, we discussed being selective about the ink used to try to protect the ion plating. Also avoid flossing the tines if you can or working on the nib with micromesh or fine grit paper as there are theories that it can weaken the plating along the edges and risk flaking outward from those points.
