Bung Box Dandyism

Okay guys, hold onto your hats. This ink ROCKS, and it the closest I've seen the MB Racing Green. I thought Kobe #1 was closer, but now that I've tried Dandyism, I've changed my mind.

It is a dark green that when it shades, shows its lovely olive green undertone.

It looks great on all papers ...

... and behaves really well on all of them. AND it even has sheen!

I fell for this one when I first saw it. A bit like Diamine Graphite, at least with an off-white paper to help bring out the green?

 

Thanks for this and your other pictures - all very helpful.

Looks great... for me even better than MB'S Racing Green...

I was given a couple samples of Bung Box inks at the LA show, and now this review has me hooked - could any of you share how to order this ink from within the US? I can't seem to find anyone who might be distributing it, and I'd hesitate to order direct from the shop (unless I hire a translator!).

There's a thread elsewhere -- Inky thoughts I think. Just search saskia's name.

 

Quickest way is to just hit up Atsu-san http://www.ebay.com/usr/cool-japan

 

Send him a message. REALLY nice guy, super helpful. He has Kobe ink for $20 a bottle shipped, but he'll get you bungbox or ishida bungu if you ask.

Thanks Moose, that's excellent information! I've had the Kobe inks on my distant radar, and even have the "cool-japan" as a saved seller on eBay. Much appreciated.

I contacted cool-japan, the Bung Box Danyism is $40 shipped to the US. :(

NICE color, but unfortunately that price is too rich for me.

      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
