This one was tempting me since I first saw it somewhere on-line. Thank you for this review. Can I ask you to make a close up of shading?

 

Sure. Here you go. It's actually a slightly better shader than it appears in this picture. This pen is VERY wet, and I'd just filled it, so the feed was over-saturated.

In my view it is a bit to dark for Olive....

Check my review A Olive green tribute to Visamitra, Whitman and Zweig...
I believe that comes closer to olive green (I am inn Italy tomorrow see if I can Make a photo...

But That Kitano colour is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thanks for your review

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Was this available through cool-japan? I didn't find it listed there. Just curious. Have other expenses to take care of before I can order more Kobe inks, but this one definitely is very interesting.

That's where I got it, but the listing disappeared soon after I bought it, so I guess he ran out. I'm sure more will be up soon.

Good looking review!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Does Kobe 49 have any sheen? Specifically, a golden one?

 

Thanks!

 

I no longer have that page, and right now don't have this ink in a pen, but...I don't remember any sheen, but that isn't to say other's may not have found any with the right pen and right paper.

      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
