Blue / Black - Sailor

[visvamitra]

Sailor makes stunning inks. I could use only them and some J. Herbin ones. Happily I don't have to.

Blue / Black is well behaved decent blue / black ink. It doesn't stand out among other blue / blacks but it shouldn't disappoint anyone looking for similar hue.

Great review! I used to love Sailor's BB. It's a solid ink, but now I find it a little dull, especially compared to Sailor's other amazing offerings.

Looks nice. I'm not fond of blue-blacks but I know Sailor delivers good quality.

I like it--no green.

[The Good Captain]

I love this ink and use it solely in the 1911 SE Black Lustre. It looks stunning.

I thought it was more blue.... I'll stick to my Kobe #23 for now.

I'm trying to decide what I think of these square bottles. I do like the ink.

 

[Honeybadgers]

better than the craptacular round bottles

 

I think I'd stick with sei-boku if I wanted a BB ink, it just has more pop.

Where’s the blue? That bottle looks like the Herbin 1670s.
