Hello All,

 

I offer a review of Diamine Sherwood Green, one of my all-time favourite greens, and favourite inks. Enjoy!

When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

Nice, I agree with you, it's a really great green. Similar to PR Sherwood Green but better behaved, dries quicker.

Thank you for this nice review. I liked your artistic touch. (Are they red poppies?)

I’ve been dying to try this ink but my bottle is still sitting somewhere in the customs. :(

Regards,

Thank you for your kind comments. No they are not poppies, my attempt at some type of flower..just to show off the potential of combining SG with other inks! I hope your bottle will be with you soon, the wait will be worth it! It will be good to hear your thoughts on this ink!

I haven't yet tried PR inks at all. It is a great green and I am really delighted with the shading, I also love the red with it.

very nice review and nice color :thumbup: thanks for sharing

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

Always nice to hear about good greens. I'm about 50/50 on the ones that I have tried. May have to give this a try. Right now my favourite green is PR Ebony Green.

 

Thanks for sharing.

All I want is 1 more pen, and 1 more bottle of ink, and maybe 1 more pad of paper. Well, at least until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and throw in that bottle of single malt. Is that asking for too much?

 

thanks Chris.

      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
