Sailor makes stunning inks. It's a pity so many of them aren't easily obtainable outside of Japan and they're rather expensive to order.



I've received Quadrifoglio sample from one of FPNers - thank you :) . I must say this ink is quite cool. It behaves well and looks interesting on most papers. The ink was made by Sailor for Pen & Message shop in Japan.

I second Algester on this and I like it. Very nice review! I wonder how this ink would look like when used with an extra fine nib. hmmm....

I have to say I like the color in Lgsoltek's version better than visvamitra's version. Wonder what is different, as in, different batches?

This is the Quadriflogio I remember... a brighter/yellower leafy green. Is nice, but not special enough to me.

Mine's closer to Lgsoltek's I think.

I thought I had a review of this ink. Turns out I don't. I'll post my another writing sample in Vis' review then.

 

That's really pretty!

Thanks for the review.

I kinda like how this one looks, but it is also similar to some greens I have that are more readily available. I am putting it onto the short list (which isn't actually so short anymore :rolleyes:), though, just in case....

      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
