It's going crazy cheap on Amazon uk at the moment, £13 - 18 a bottle. I have picked up 5 or more bottles one at a time as they drop below £15 to make sure I don't get hit with import charges. All from Santa-Trading in Japan, no problems with any of them.

I paid £15 through Amazon for my Ina-Ho (see elsewhere - anyone in the UK fancy a trade?). I have to say though it was poorly packaged. Just shoved in a padded envelope, so the box got a bit of a battering. They need to take some packaging lessons from TWD...... ;)

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wanted to ask something in relation to this thread specifically. If (from the UK or Ireland) you ordered some inks from Santa Trading Japan through Amazon in either late January or early February of this year, have you received your ink? I placed an order with them over two months ago. The first order didn't arrive, so they kindly agreed to send another by a faster method.....that will be one month ago by the end of this week. I'm beginning to suspect that they have run out of it and haven't sent it to begin with. One missing package I can understand; but two? Has anyone had any problems like this with STJ?

They finally arrived! Seems there was a question over what it was in customs, they opened it and thought about it for a month and a half before sending it on to me.

Yay! That sounds about par for the course for UK customs... sorry that we are not suffering alone.

      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
