Sailor Kingdom Note "fungi Series" Trametes Versicolor


white_lotus

Recommended Posts

Quite a while back around August 2015 I worked on this review but apparently never finished it, nor posted it. So here it is! Even though I don't have an ink droplet image as the pen I just filled with this ink is an Edison Beaumont pneumatic filler, so kind of hard to do ink droplets.

 

The ink goes down a rich deep blue, then dries to a more muted blue. Some might dislike that effect and prefer the color when wet. There is lots of red sheen on Tomoe River paper.

 

Pen: Pelikan M400 (F), Edison Beaumont (M-steel)

Papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, TR=Tomoe River, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, Rhodia=Rhodia 90g ivory.

Camera: iPhone 7

I think Sandy or Cyber6 has a recipe of mixing this one with the other blue one in the mushroom series.

 

 

I think that was me - I mixed it with the other blue mushroom one (entoloma viricens, or something like that) and it makes a GORGEOUS blue.

Wow, what a nice color. Of course I suppose this is one of those unobtanium inks.... :(

Thanks for the review, anyway. If I had known in advance, a friend of mine got invited to Japan for some TV show awhile back (he does all sorts of medieval Japanese stuff like woodworking and braiding and he got invited to be on the show and meet some masters in their respective fields. And if I had known when he was going I could have said "So, if you have a bit of down time and are any of the following places... can you ask your interpreter to take you to the following shops and pick up some inks for me.... I'll pay you back...."

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Well, I got this last year, so I can't say how available it's been since then. It hasn't been as available as some of the others of the "Fungi" series. But when these inks do appear "in stock" at Kingdom Note they're gone within a few days.

 

Oh, btw, I met someone in our village last year that actually has a P-51, the airplane. It's kept at the little aircraft museum in North Carolina.

White_Lotus, cool about the airplane.

 

This ink is one that I didn't think I'd enjoy, but my teenager is a total fan and I like it too. So, now she swipes my pen... I'm going back to colors she doesn't like. Ha ha.

 

Thank you, White_Lotus for all that you.

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

You're welcome. It's my humble contribution to our inky insanity. But I've really fallen into a Sailor rabbit hole.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
