Last updated Aug 24, 2026

Shopping for converters, cleaning & pen cases can put two very different decisions side by side: do you need a focused refill component, or would you rather add a fountain pen that includes a converter? The Sailor Fountain Pen Converter and Baoer 83 answer those needs differently, so the right pick depends more on the format you want than on a shared converter label.

Quick verdict

Choose the Sailor Fountain Pen Converter if a clear, standalone converter is the priority and checking the remaining ink matters. Choose the Baoer 83 if you want a metal fountain pen with a converter included, plus the Pink Spring Blossoms design and gold trim. The Sailor is the more focused purchase; the Baoer combines writing instrument and filling component.

Where each product wins

  • Sailor wins for ink visibility and a converter-focused purchase. Its clear body is specifically suited to checking how much ink remains, while the round body and smooth grip keep the design straightforward.
  • Baoer wins for an all-in-one pen format. The metal construction, Pink Spring Blossoms finish, gold trim, and included converter give shoppers a pen and filling component together. It also accepts standard international-sized cartridges, as well as Baoer or Jinhao cartridges.

Product notes

Sailor Fountain Pen Converter

Sailor Fountain Pen Converter (14-0500

Sailor Fountain Pen Converter is the cleaner match for a shopper who wants a standalone converter rather than another pen. Its clear body is the practical draw: it lets you check the amount of ink left when deciding whether a refill is needed. Its round body and smooth grip are also useful design details, and the included component is the converter itself. The limitation is scope. Sailor is centered on a converter, so it does not serve the same pen-plus-converter role as the Baoer 83. Choose Sailor when ink visibility and a focused refill purchase matter most, especially if a clear body is more useful than adding another writing instrument to your collection.

Baoer 83 Metal Fountain Pen & Converter

Baoer 83 Metal Fountain Pen & Converter, Pink Spring Blossoms, Fine Point Nib

Baoer 83 Metal Fountain Pen & Converter, Pink Spring Blossoms, Fine Point Nib makes sense when you want a pen-plus-converter purchase in one package. The metal construction, Pink Spring Blossoms finish, and gold trim give the choice a clearly defined look, while the snap-on cap establishes its everyday pen format. A converter is included, and the pen accepts standard international-sized cartridges as well as Baoer or Jinhao cartridges. Its limitation is fit for purpose: someone seeking only a standalone converter would be choosing a fountain pen and its styling too. Choose Baoer when the pen itself matters as much as filling it and the Pink Spring Blossoms color is part of the appeal.

Final choice by use case

If your priority is a standalone converter with a clear body that helps monitor ink, choose the Sailor Fountain Pen Converter. Its USD 11.45 price also makes it the lower-priced route in this comparison. If you want a metal fountain pen, Pink Spring Blossoms styling, and a converter included, choose the Baoer 83 at USD 17.29. In short, Sailor is the focused refill choice, while Baoer is the combined writing-instrument choice.
