Peregrin Falcon - Kingdom Note (Sailor)

[visvamitra]

Some time ago Tinjapan send some Sailor LE ink to Sisnistral1 who, in turm, sent the rest of the samples to me. Thank you both of you So first let's look at Kingdom Note's Bird series:

SOurce

These inks are sold in Japan in Kingdom Note stationery shop. They can also be purchased from on-line sellers but to be honest I find the price (+/- 40 $) inacceptable. This statement doesn't mean I don't enjoy using Sailor's limited inks. Unhappily I enjoy doing it a lot and when the sample's over I feel sad

The full line consists of five colors:

1. Lidth's Jay
2. Mandarin Duck
3. Peregrine Falcon
4. Pheasant
5. Toki

Peregrin Falcon (Falco Peregrinus) is black wanna-be. I dislike black inks in general and this one isn't even black. Nothing interesting for me. If I would really have to use black I would pick Private Reserve's Black - it's black and provides nice lubrication.

I was really in love with this ink until I tried Herbin's stormy Gray and KN's Stag Beetle. Now it's fallen off my radar. I did however make a really nice mix with this ink and the Stag Beetle (which is an ink so wet it's actually hard to control sometimes!).

It's nice, but I don't use grey very often and I already have Kobe #31 (Kaigan Stone Grey), which looks a lot different but which is still in that dark grey family. I dunno, I can justify umpteen similar blues because they are gorgeous, but apparently I cannot do the same with grey.

it is definitely a gray color. a deep dark charcoal-grey. which i LOVE. thanks for sharing. now i want one!
