Sailor Shu-Katsu Blue CT Multi Functional Pen 16-0129-240
The Sailor Shu?Katsu Blue CT (16?0129?240) is part of Sailor’s “Shu?Katsu / Job Hunting” multi?pen line. Rather than the more usual multi?pens that combine colored inks and pencils, the Shu?Katsu series is built especially for those applying for jobs or filling out formal documents: it provides three black ballpoint widths plus a red ink option, all in a single body. The “Blue CT” variant uses a blue body with chrome (CT = chrome trim) accents. This model is designed to be practical, professional, and suited to formal writing needs.
Key Features & Functional Details
Based on retailer descriptions and independent reviews:
-
Ink Modes / Widths:
• 0.5 mm Black — intended for formal uses like application forms, where fine black lines are required.
• 0.7 mm Black — standard everyday black writing width.
• 1.0 mm Black — bolder black for headings, emphasis, or when writing large characters.
• 0.7 mm Red — for corrections, notes, highlighting, or marking. -
Switching / Activation:
You switch widths by knocking (i.e., pushing / tapping the barrel) such that the width label faces up. The mechanism allows toggling between these modes by orientation.
Internally, the barrel unscrews to reveal multiple refill positions (five in total: the four active ones plus a spare 0.7 mm black) so you can swap or replace refills. -
Design & Build:
The body is made of metal (often aluminum or similar) with a formal, understated design suitable for business attire. The finish is blue with chrome trim, lending both visual appeal and professional restraint.
The clip is spring?loaded and substantial, referred to by one reviewer as an “axis clip.”
The pen weighs about 16 g and measures around 5.5 in (~140 mm) in length, with a somewhat thick barrel (“fat pen”) that some may find less comfortable for extended writing.

Use Appeal & Considerations
Why someone might choose this pen:
-
If you frequently fill out official forms, resumes, or interview documents, the multiple black widths let you adapt to required line thicknesses without switching pens.
-
The red ink mode is handy for on?the?fly annotations or emphasis.
-
The formal design (metal + chrome + blue) makes it appropriate to carry to interviews or professional settings.
-
The spare refill slot helps maintain continuity: you have a backup black 0.7 mm that can be swapped in if needed.
Potential drawbacks / caveats:
-
Because it uses multiple black refills, you may exhaust some widths sooner than others; carrying spare refills is beneficial.
-
The barrel is relatively thick and somewhat hefty; people with very small hands might find extended writing a bit tiring.
-
The switching mechanism (knock / rotate) may require gentle handling to avoid misalignment or stress over time.
-
Finish / trim surfaces can show wear or scratches if stored loosely in bags or pockets.
Product Information
-
The Shu?Katsu is a multi?ballpoint pen that offers three black ballpoint widths (0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 1.0 mm) plus one red 0.7 mm ballpoint.
-
Internally, when you unscrew the barrel, there are five refill slots: the three black + the red + an extra 0.7 mm black as a spare.
-
The different black tip sizes are marked by dot indicators (for example, 0.5 mm has 1 dot, 0.7 mm has 2 dots, 1.0 mm has 3).
-
The mechanism to switch among tips is by knocking / tapping—you orient the writing width you want facing upward then press.
-
The clip is described as an “axis” clip, a strong spring-operated style where you push on the top to open.
Physical Dimensions, Weight & Feel
From the review and comparative data:
-
Length: about 5.5 inches (~140 mm)
-
Weight: ~ 16 g
-
The pen is described in reviews as “fat” — not slender — so its barrel is somewhat thicker than typical ballpoints.
Strengths & Considerations
Advantages:
-
Instead of having multiple pens for fine vs bold vs normal black writing, Shu?Katsu consolidates them into one instrument — very useful for forms, drafts, and different writing contexts.
-
The extra spare 0.7 mm black refill gives backup when one runs out.
-
The design is intended to be formal and suitable for business / professional use (metal body, conservative styling).
Limitations / things to watch:
-
Being relatively thick ("fat pen"), it might not be most comfortable for very long continuous writing for users with smaller hands.
-
The red ink is only one color; unlike some multi?pens that give multiple colors + pencil, Shu?Katsu emphasizes black versatility over color variety.
-
As with any mechanism involving knocking / internal switching, the internal parts require careful handling to avoid misalignment or wear over time.
