Wow! want to see what your 'full' reviews look like! Its wonderful and informative, and the comparisons are excellent. Many thanks.

It seems like Monteverde California teal may be similar (and Diamine Aurora Borealis may be bluer than this). What you said about this ink (;its greener than any teal ink I've tried') has also been said (or similar observations) by those who reviewed the California Teal. I'm interested one of this type of green, but its hard to get samples in India....

Its like a blue-shifted green in daylight. Because the sheen in red-magenta in color, and the ink sheens easily, the sheen can cancel out the greenness of the ink in artificial indoor light, so the writing looks less green and more bluish teal. Depends on paper, pen, amount of ink used, and amount of sheen. On Tomoe River this effect is prominent. On a Goulet Pens video showcasing this ink, its noted to be even more green than Lamy Amazonite.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

      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
