Thank you for a great review of a great ink! I get the best sheen out of the Kobe 14 in a vintage flex nib where the sheen takes over the page.

 

It's one of my favourite Kobe inks

+1 Me too :)

Thanks for the nice review. This color is right up my alley. Judging by its name alone, I have to love it!

I really like that one. Looks like it might be similar to Kobe Island Blue, which I love, but maybe it is a bit more purple tone.

I totally agree. I goofed and sent my sample off with a pen to be renibbed. :wallbash:

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

That is a really nice blue ink. Cool-Japan makes all these inks available to those of us who don't live in Japan.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Thank you you Frank, for letting me try yours. I immediately ordered a bottle.

A little late for me to add to the thread but, on the strength of the above nice review, I managed to find a botte at the ITOYA stationery shop on the Ginza in Tokyo during a recent business trip. It is a very nice, deep and happy blue- the nearest thing to my all-time favourite blue ink, the Iroshizuku "Asa Gao" (Morning Glory).

Happily I now see that this ink can be bought on Ebay (but at a price!)

Quad, did you have a good trip and what else did you acquire?

Oh my! That's pretty! Thanks for this review of a not-so-well known ink!

It's now definitely on my wish list!

      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
