Sailor Kobe #14 Maya Lapis

Recommended Posts

I'm not trying to compete here with visvamitra and his amazing review series of the complete Kobe line. But I have had this ink for a while, and thought I'd reviewed it, but I never did. So when I inked it up and decided to work in a review. This is a wonderful ink, and just really great. The only think I noticed was that there was a little bit of staining on the converter. It washed right out with plain water when cleaning the pen, but I thought I should mention it.

 

Papers as usual are MvL=Mohawk via Linen, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, TR=Tomoe River.

Fairly water resistant in that there's enough ink left on the paper, but in a wash there's a lot of ink going all over the place.

A deep rich blue dye.

The photo of my review for the inkjet paper is blurry, so I'm passing on posting it here. Maybe I'll try and take a pic tomorrow.

Thank you! I LOVE this ink. I use it a lot.

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

Great review! This is a beautiful color. I may have to get some in the near future.

      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
