LOVE this ink! In spite of some of the issues mentioned in several reviews. It will smear several days later depending on the paper; the more sizing on the paper the more likely it will smear. Paper like Clairfontaine, for instance, and Apica CD Premium. On Tsubame or Midori or Tomoe River--no. It has a nice sheen on its own but combine it with Sailor Sky High and it is a sheen monster. I thought Sky High was anemic so I added some Cobalt to it. It is now my favorite ink mix; it doesn't take much cobalt to change the character of sky high.

I'm glad you like it. I tried what you suggested. A drop or two of cobalt makes a HUGE change.

The top ink is the mix: Levenger Cobalt just a few drops the remainder of what was left after I used the full converter. I then reinked with a mix 1:1 with Green Diamond and Diamine Kelly

I refilled with the same mix - but now most of the cobalt is gone.

      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
