Light Green is wet and rather saturated ink. It's not super strong but vibrant enough to catch attention. There's no water resistance to it but other parametres are great. I like this one.

This is one of the Oster inks I'm not keen on. It's very ordinary.

I like it as a lighter green, Lierre Sauvage being my lightest at the moment. Emerald is a little more blue which I am not after right now.

I'm liking this one more than I thought I would. Too many bright / light greens are too light for actual use. This one is great for doodles and writing. Thank you, Vis for another great review. Thank you Cyber6 for enabling.

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

Not a color for me (this one actually gave me the "nails on a chalkboard" heebie jeebies :o). I prefer softer greens (Robert Oster Moss is particularly nice -- once the weather turns better I'm *definitely* ordering a bottle of that one :wub:).

Thanks for the review though.

      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
