When I get around to doing a more intensive review, I'll compare it to the Parker Penman Emerald that I have. Then, I'll give you an idea. I don't have Sherwood around here (yet).

Thanks for the review. Nice green, but still a weird green. Not a teal, not a dark green, not a turquoise and all that. I think I also prefer the Gemstone version.

The particular bottle of "Forest" that I have has been very problematic in terms of flow --I have tried it in several pens, and it has been dry and hard to coax out of the pen no matter which pen I use. Perhaps it's the specific bottle I have, but none of the other Levenger inks caused me so much trouble. Has anyone else had that same experience?

I found it to be dry.

 

I'll try it again with a flow enhancer the next time I refill with it and then I'll report back.

      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
