My question was going to be "How does this compare with Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange?" but I see you've answered that question. :)

Normally orange is not a color I go for. This one might be different....

Thanks for the review -- and, well, not....

I just popped into this review thread to say that these inks have now been issued and are readily available from Diamine and other retailers. :)

Thanks for this review. Looks like a good choice of Diamine (the fruit they picked...).

Thank you for the review. I've ordered this ink. It will be here tomorrow. So far I've been disappointed with Rykua cha that arrived today. I won't be with this one. Thank you.

      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

      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.

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
