{"product_id":"sailor-fude-de-mannen-fountain-pen-navy-blue-40-degree","title":"Sailor Fude de Mannen Fountain Pen – Navy Blue, 40 Degree","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Fude de Mannen is a fountain pen with a genuinely different proposition from anything else in the category. Its name is a play on words in Japanese, combining fude (brush pen) and mannen (fountain pen), and in certain regional accents it can be read as \"this is a brush pen\" — a description that captures the pen's character precisely. The nib is bent upward at a 40-degree angle, a shape that allows it to produce a range of line widths simply by adjusting the angle at which the pen meets the paper. Hold it more upright and the tip contacts the page for a fine, controlled line. Tilt it toward the horizontal and the belly of the nib makes contact, producing a broader, more expressive stroke. No pressure variation required, no special technique — just a change in angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Navy Blue body is a deep, almost black-leaning blue with gold-toned trim and a roll-stop on the cap that prevents the pen from rolling off the desk. The body is lightweight plastic at 16.9 cm closed, making it one of the longer pens in its price range and comfortable for extended sessions without posting. Note that posting the cap adds considerable length and back weight, so most users prefer to write with it unposted. The pen accepts standard Sailor short cartridges and comes with one black ink cartridge included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e40-degree bent steel nib produces varied line widths by angle, not pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLine width ranges from fine to broad depending on nib-to-paper angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDeep navy blue plastic body with gold-toned trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRoll-stop on cap prevents rolling on desk surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLength capped: 16.9 cm | Body length: 15.6 cm | Lightweight plastic construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAccepts standard Sailor short international cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with Sailor converter for bottled ink use (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne black Sailor ink cartridge included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCap posts but adds considerable length and back weight, unposted use recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopnoteworthy.ca\/collections\/sailor\" title=\"Sailor\"\u003eSee all Sailor items\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SD-MDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43601853284419,"sku":"SA-FUDE-NB44","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/4338\/files\/51DM4UexEFL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1785278761","url":"https:\/\/shopnoteworthy.com\/products\/sailor-fude-de-mannen-fountain-pen-navy-blue-40-degree","provider":"Noteworthy Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
