One of the Diamine Greens I have on the shelf but I've not used it for a while. Must try it again. Great review.

Thank you for the review.

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

Great ink :thumbup: Looks close to mb irish green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I'd say it's a touch darker than MB Irish Green, but I did leave Irish Green in a pen for a couple months, and it darkened a good bit. Looked great too. Sherwood Green is a gorgeous ink. Thanks for the review!

I recently purchased about 11 or 12 green samples, and so far Diamine Sherwood is far and away my favorite color (I've made it through about 6 of the samples thus far).

 

As of now, I will likely be ordering a bottle in the relatively near future. Very nice review for a very nice green!

Nice review! I like the format.

 

I'm wondering about the sheen, though. Other reviews state that this ink has a lot of sheen, but apparently you don't see much...? I don't actually own the ink myself, so I can't make my own observations.

Great review. It makes me want to pull out my bottle and ink up a pen, maybe the Laban Mento green marble that's on the way to me.

Honestly, I think there is a little sheen on Sargasso Sea. Comparing that to Sherwood Green, I see almost none here. I wish there was more sheen and was excited because I had heard it has a lot of sheen, but I can't seem to bring it out of this ink.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
