Nice one. I've never tried this one, but I think I'm happy enough with Tokiwa-matsu.

I think Epinard is quite a bit darker than Tokiwa-matsu.

Not really. Side by side you *might* be able to tell them apart. But that's it, for all practical purposes they are almost identical. :P

Interesting (and good to know), because all the shots on my screen show Epinard as much darker. (I love it's dark murky green colour.)

Depending on ink flow, my wet writers will make it look very dark.

 

 

In any case... I am not the only one. Just saying that for all practical purposes they are very similar. With some pen/paper combination , I am sure you can make them look identical.

Well beyond discussing whether Epinard or Tokiwa-matsu is darker, I have a number of Sailor inks, especially bespoke, store-exclusive inks. Mr. Ishimaru is a fabulous ink maker, daresay, the best in the world today. The range, qualities, and loveliness of his inks are amazing. Worthy of song.

 

So I had a bunch of newer inks in pens when this thread came up. Only now am I posting my small contribution.

 

All hail Ishimaru-san! :notworthy1: :notworthy1: :notworthy1:

 

Sadly all these look different on my screen, but once I upload them to FPN the two greens look identical and the blue looks so dark it might as well be the same as the greens! I really wish FPN would stop trying to reduce the size of the images when they are uploaded, they only make them less than useful. :gaah: (Sorry for the rant.)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
