About a year ago, I bought myself the standard size Sailor Pro Gear Sakura Nagare<\/a>. About a month ago, Jim bought us the King of Pen size Sakura Nagare. I don’t mean the new 1911 version<\/a> that released last year(?) I mean the original, 2010 Pro Gear KOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we now have both original versions, I thought it would be interesting to compare them. Especially because, to my surprise, they are not identical in design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
