I absolutely enjoy Sailor inks. It's a pity they produce so many amazing colors for shops in Japan, I would prefer to have a possibility of buying them from retailers based in Europe. Anyway Sailor's producent a lot of inks for Kobe city:

One of FPN members has send me some samples. There was Shinkaichi Gold among them.

It's interesting color, quite unique but if you like comparisons I would say Pilot Iroshizuku Ina-Ho is in a similar range of color, but it's not really that close.

AWESOME REVIEW!!!

 

I told you this was one of my favorite inks. :wub: :wub: .... I don't think people can imagine how elegant it looks in an off white paper.

 

And Ina Ho is on the same family hue.... but is a complete different animal.

 

 

Thanks so much for this review...

Other colours that I think are similar: Sheaffer King's Gold (discontinued long ago), De Atramentis Gold, and J. Herbin Ambre De Birmanie. I might have to add this one to my wishlist.

Thanks so much for this review...

Could you elaborate on the difference between this and Ina Ho? I was close to ordering the Ina Ho until I discovered this Sailor ink. Now I'm undecided between them, and unfortunately I don't think it would be possible to order a sample of the Sailor anywhere. Does one lean more green vs gold/amber? A writing comparison would be hugely helpful, if available.

Hmmm - I ran out of both samples so I won't be able to compare them :/

 

I believe Shinkaichi Gold has more green to it, more vintage look to it.

 

Both are nice.

 

I do have both.... I just need the time... ;)

 

I'll try this evening after work...

Thanks, what a great review. This ink looks beautiful. I can see the similarity with Ina-ho although I don't like Ina-ho at all.

Awesome - whenever you have a chance!

 

 

Wow.. that wasn't easy. You can clearly see in person the difference... Shinkaichi has a "gold" quality to it. Ina-Ho is more flat.

 

But, on the scan is much more difficult. You can't scan "gold quality".. you can only scan colors/hues... and they are both in the same family hue. Ina-Ho has a tiny more green than Shinkaichi.

Wow, what a great comparison! They really do look almost identical in the scan. I can see more of the gold you are talking about in the Shinkaichi, particularly in the places where the ink shades. I don't see as much shading in the Ina-Ho either. Is that your experience too? Do you have a preference between the two, either in terms of color, or performance?

 

And again, thanks for the comparison - you did a fantastic job with it.

visvamitra is my long time ink-traffiker/smugler friend extraordinaire.. ;) .. Once he asked me.. "Send me something special.. unusual, goorvy...".. I love "gold" inks... and I sent him my favorite.. Shinkainchi Gold.. :wub:

 

I do like Ina Ho... but Shinkaichi has that 'gold' quality missing in most "Gold" inks.. (sheaffer's gold, bouton d'or.. etc)

 

The only other color that comes close to Shinkaichi... is KWZI #57 "Old Gold" :wub: ... visvamitra has a review of it. Look it up.

Just looked - that Old Gold looks really nice too! I didn't even know that one existed, thanks for letting me know.

@Cyber6 - now that you've exposed us and our dark secrets I'm afraid other ink traficcants will try to get in touch. Maybe we'll establish INKLEONE family?

 

 

And we'll have a godmother or a godfather??http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/bad/gangster-with-gun-smiley-emoticon.gif

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      @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
