Sailor TUZU ADJUST Forge Metallic Blue Fountain Pen
The Sailor TUZU ADJUST Forge Metallic Blue Fountain Pen takes the ergonomic TUZU concept in a more refined direction, with a deep blue finish and a distinctive metallic appearance. It retains the characteristic rotating nib system and Natural Fit Grip while introducing a metal-powder-infused section for greater presence and balance in the hand. Its stainless steel nib is available in F, M and B, and a Sailor converter comes installed inside the pen.
Forge: a more refined interpretation of TUZU
The TUZU ADJUST Forge collection preserves the functional philosophy of TUZU while giving the fountain pen a more sophisticated presence. Sailor applies a vacuum metallization process to the barrel and cap to create a metallic surface that combines a distinctive lustre with an elegantly subdued appearance. Black elements contrast with the finish and reinforce the clean, contemporary and technical character of the design.
Metallic Blue: a deep blue with a metallic appearance
The Metallic Blue version combines an intense blue tone with the visual effect created by the metallized surface. Light subtly changes the way the finish is perceived and enhances the depth of the colour, while the black section and clip provide a strong contrast. The result retains TUZU's functional identity while giving the pen a more elaborate aesthetic and a character clearly distinct from the standard versions of the collection.
Vacuum metallization
To create the Forge finish, Sailor places aluminium inside a high-vacuum chamber and heats it until it vaporizes. The aluminium vapour is then deposited onto the surface, forming a very thin metallic film. This process gives the resin structure a texture and lustre reminiscent of metal before colour is added to create the different Forge finishes. Sailor also specifies the use of a PFAS-free coating.
ADJUST System: a fountain pen that adapts to your writing
One of the defining features of TUZU ADJUST is its rotating nib system. Instead of requiring you to change the way you naturally hold a fountain pen, the orientation of the nib and grip can be adjusted to better suit your usual writing angle. Adjustment is possible in 10° increments, helping different users — including both right- and left-handed writers — find a position that works naturally with their individual grip.
Natural Fit Grip and metal-powder-infused section
Forge retains the characteristic Natural Fit Grip of TUZU, with two gently sloping surfaces that provide a broad contact area for the fingers. For this version, Sailor introduces a high-density resin section containing a high concentration of metal powder. This adds weight around the grip for a different balance compared with the standard TUZU, while also giving the section a pleasantly cool, metal-like feel in the hand.
Nib and filling system
The Sailor TUZU ADJUST Forge Metallic Blue is fitted with a stainless steel nib available in three sizes: Fine (F), Medium (M) and Broad (B). It uses Sailor's proprietary cartridge/converter filling system and is supplied with the converter already installed inside the pen, allowing it to be filled directly from an ink bottle or used with Sailor ink cartridges.

What makes TUZU ADJUST Forge different from the standard TUZU?
Forge retains the two essential features of TUZU ADJUST — the rotating nib and Natural Fit Grip — while significantly changing the material experience. Vacuum metallization gives the body its metallic appearance, while the metal-powder-infused section adds weight around the grip. At 22.5 g, Forge therefore feels more substantial in the hand while preserving the ergonomic approach that defines the TUZU concept.

History and philosophy of Sailor
Founded in Hiroshima in 1911, Sailor has spent more than a century developing Japanese writing instruments. TUZU grew from a project that began in 2019 with an unusual idea: instead of expecting every writer to hold a fountain pen in the same way, create a pen capable of adapting to different writing habits. After years of development and testing, TUZU was introduced in 2024 and received an Excellence Award in the Functionality category of the Japan Stationery Awards that same year. Forge continues this philosophy with a more elaborate construction and a different material presence while retaining the adjustable system at the heart of TUZU.
“Find your own angle and let every word follow its natural course.”
