So, did you like it? I never did until I tried it in my Stipula with fine titanium nib. Bleedthrough, yes, it can happen, but otherwise well-behaved. Color is most intense from a wet fine nib.

Right now I'm using King Blue by De Atramentis and Private Reserve's DC Supershow blue. I actually have a bottle of this ink, but don't know where I placed it. It will re-surface at a later point in time. I think if you have any nibs adjusted by a nibmeister to drinking from the fire hose, you will be eyeballing very INTENSE writings. lol

I wonder if Chesterfield Sapphire is the same color or not. I have some cartridges of that, and it seems to me that it might be a bit more purple than Diamine Sapphire Blue, but it's hard to be sure.

I know my id is "mhosea", but you can call me Mike. It's an old Unix thing.

I love this ink and your exquisite calligraphy just makes the colour sing! Thank you!

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

Seconded, and like others have mentioned, this is a great ink. One of my two go to blues (the other being Organics Studios Manganate V--really a blue-black though). I love the dry time of the Sapphire, as well as its temperment.

 

And as always, I love reading your reviews. You have such a great hand.

      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
