I've read somewhere on this site that red inks tend to stain. But does anyone have any positive or negative experience with this particular ink? I'd like to fill my Vac 700 with it for a change (has uptill now constantly been inked with Iro: Tsuki-Yo)

In my experience, no it does not stain. In fact, Grenade actually seemed to clean the insides of my pen up a bit. Easy clean up just like other Sailor inks.

No issues in one of my 580's. Grenade is an awesome ink.

 

The only Sailor ink I've had stain has been Yama-dori, although I only have experience with a few of the more domestic ones. A quick wipe with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol took it right off. And Yama-dori is well worth the extra cleaning step.

So many inks, so little time...

I am using Sailor Oku-yama (same ink, different name) and it is very easy to clean.

I disagree that they are the same ink, different name, although they are indeed a VERY close match. They differ subtly in saturation, tonal values & flow. But for all intents & purposes most users wouldn't discern a difference.

They have the exact same chromatography as seen in another thread. Subtle changes exist between batches of many inks on the market. This doesn't make it a new ink, IMO. Certainly there is less difference between Grenade and Oku-yama than there is between the different versions of Herbin's Rouge Hematite.

 

And for this thread at least, I believe clean-ability, which relies on dyes used, will be the same.

Chromatography is different too, at least the tests I carried out. I have had multiple bottles of both inks & it's not like a batch issue. Behaviour of the ink varied too. Cleanability is another issues & I agree it will be the same. Edited by migo984

I know Sailor discontinued Grenade awhile back, so where can you still find bottles of Grenade? Me want! :)

Edited by StrawberryJam

Current Wishlist:

Visconti, Visconti, and...more Visconti! (And some ST Duponts too). (Ok fine, getting on the Omas and Montblanc trains now too. Toot toot.) (And maybe on the Montegrappa one too, but only for the Miyas.)

I have Oku-yama, didn't tried yet, but I'm feeling lucky that I brought the last locally available Grenade in a year ago..

I read that as you are offering to compare these inks for us. I graciously accept. :)

      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
