One of the Diamine Greens I have on the shelf but I've not used it for a while. Must try it again. Great review.

Thank you for the review.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Great ink :thumbup: Looks close to mb irish green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I'd say it's a touch darker than MB Irish Green, but I did leave Irish Green in a pen for a couple months, and it darkened a good bit. Looked great too. Sherwood Green is a gorgeous ink. Thanks for the review!

I recently purchased about 11 or 12 green samples, and so far Diamine Sherwood is far and away my favorite color (I've made it through about 6 of the samples thus far).

 

As of now, I will likely be ordering a bottle in the relatively near future. Very nice review for a very nice green!

Nice review! I like the format.

 

I'm wondering about the sheen, though. Other reviews state that this ink has a lot of sheen, but apparently you don't see much...? I don't actually own the ink myself, so I can't make my own observations.

Great review. It makes me want to pull out my bottle and ink up a pen, maybe the Laban Mento green marble that's on the way to me.

Honestly, I think there is a little sheen on Sargasso Sea. Comparing that to Sherwood Green, I see almost none here. I wish there was more sheen and was excited because I had heard it has a lot of sheen, but I can't seem to bring it out of this ink.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
