I found the new Yama-dori for sale at penboutique. I'm not familiar Sailors limited edition inks, but it seems a whole bunch were available.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Yes, there was a thread about them being available again in the regular production line.

Mine is the 'new' one as well, but some say there is no sign of "reformulation", so it seems to be as great as the original.

I just bought a bottle NOS from here yesterday. I'm waiting for a bunch of sheen ink samples and my sample card system to start working on getting my inks organized. Needless to say, I'm a bit lightheaded with anticipation!

Diamine Syrah appears to have it too, even on some regular notebook paper. Though you wouldn't easily tell from the scan (which shows up sort of a slight yellow film).

 

But was able to capture it via a flashlight and macro lens. To my eyes at least when I move the paper it's almost like a greenish-gold shimmer.

At tonight's local pen club meeting, I showed them this:post-22021-0-91161300-1397279593_thumb.jpg

Many of the members had not heard of sheen, and since they are always teaching me something about pens, this time I showed them something about inks!

Way to show the old guys.

Trout lips on a snowy evening?

 

Jes kidding and haven't a clue. I've been away, going to places never ment to be (it all started with pens). Been gone so long, took me an hour jes to get back to this thread. All my pens are dry, I've gone to another paper, and brush pens are my shame. Yet, I still hold a soft spot in my heart for this one thread. I suspect I'll post something "sheeny" real soon. ;)

I was very surprised when I happened to catch a glimpse of it in my ink log. :D

 

 

I've never been able to capture the sheen.

I've had a thought it might had something to do with a whale... I was lazy to search for the ink itself.... :lol:

Not as visible - most of the time - while writing as some other "sheeny" inks tough.

No pix (sorry -- camera appears to be on the fritz...) but Organics Studio Blue Merle appears to have a smidge of sheen on Rhodia -- I have it in a Noodler's Flex Piston Creaper at the moment, and was getting what appeared to be a silvery sheen on the part of the page where the nib was heavily flexed. I will try to remember to look at the page again in daylight, and post an update. It was very surprising to see, (that is, if it's not a figment of my imagination) coming from what first impressions suggests that it's simply a grey-blue ink with a bit of shading.

OTOH, I'm not getting *any* sheen out of Diamine Presidential Blue in a Noodler's Konrad -- even with flexing the nib on the same paper. But then, that particular pen seems to write drier than any of the other Noodler's pens in the stash, so that might be the issue.

Edelstein Topaz has a gorgeous maroon sheen to it when it goes on thick.

It appears that Noodler's Army Green should be added to the "inks with a sheen" list:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
