Sailor is my favourite ink maker (ex-aeque with J. Herbin). Sadly their most interesting inks are available only in Japan or from internet retailers. There are few japanese shops famous for their wide and interesting range of Sailor inks. One of most well-known is Bung Box. A lot of people were taken by interesting bottles and intriguing colors. It seems however that recently many ink enthusiasts started to shy away from this line since Bung Box inks became much more bitterly expensive than other Sailor inks.

 

The line consists of quite a few colors. My list is incomplete and most of the names aren’t translated well. If you have full list of BB inks and/or could gheklp me with correcting english names, help me sort this out smile.png

  1. 4B Blue/Black
  2. BB Espresso
  3. Dandyism
  4. Emerald
  5. Enshu Black
  6. First Love Sapphire
  7. Fresh Oranges of Lake Hamana
  8. Fuyiyama Blue
  9. Hamanako Eel
  10. Imperial Purple
  11. Ink of the Witch
  12. L’Amant
  13. Luminous Green
  14. Melancholic Gray
  15. Mocha
  16. Music Black
  17. Nostalgia
  18. Oamezaki Sunset
  19. Omaezaki Ocean
  20. Omaezaki Blue
  21. Orange
  22. Pink
  23. Ruby
  24. Sapphire
  25. Silent Night
  26. Soleil
  27. Tears of Clown

Before I write few words about the ink allow me to start by saying thank you mmg122 for sending me samples of different inks.

 

From what I heard Music Black used to be called Black of Score some time ago. If it's true you have two reviews in one. If it's wrong than it's Music Black review.

 

I don't have a lot to say about this ink. It behaves very well, doesn't cclog the pen, I haven't seen any feathering even on cheaper papers. The color though has nothing special to it. It's black. Not the blackest one but strong nevertheless. If you enjoy blacks and are ready to pay crazy amount of money for a bottle, why not? If however you don't collect black inks J. Herbin's Perle Noire, Aurora's Black, Rohrer & Klingner Leipziger Schwarz, Octopus Schwarz nad Kyonooto Nurebairo's are great reasonably prices alternatives.

I just expected it to be so much darker. Thank you for another great review.

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

      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
