What a beautiful, sweet ink. I don't know how to describe the colour and it has been really hard to photograph it. Think damson, a deep berry colour with a hint of brown, dark grapes that have that silver frosting effect, its that colour. The shading is lovely as is the silver frosting. I have really enjoyed this ink. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I LOVE orchids, so I thought I'd attempt to draw one. I am sure your cat could do better, if you had one that can draw, but I am happy with my effort and assured that I must never give up my day job!

Think I can pass on this one. I'm not fond of most burgundies or brownish reds (they tend to look like dried blood). And the silver dust is nice, but not enough to hide the underlying color.

Thanks for the review, though.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

You're welcome. I agree, not fond of the dried blood look either.

I think the flowers at the bottom for comparison are my favorite part of this all around 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
