Close call.

Mine is 2 parts KWZ Pea Green and 1 part R&K Helianthus.
Mine is slightly darker. If I wanted to be picky picky I would add some water to thin my mix.

The real one is nicer, subtle, more complex and I'm delighted I finally bought some - but mine doesn't feather as much on my Mnemosyne swab cards :wacko:

Yeah, hey wait a minute. Lgsoltek is right, there's no KWZ Pea Green. Or have Tas and Cyber6 been holding out on their good friends?

 

ps There is a KWZ Pine Green, but that doesn't look like the right color for this mix.

Wait, I don't remember there being a KWZI Pea Green.

WHAT?!

One one my favourite KWZ inks. Get some. Seriously.

 

Cyber6, tell him.

(and thank you 😊)

It's strange, Tas has been mentioning KWZ Pea Green for over two years, and none of us have bothered to ask about it! We must be asleep at the wheel. But it's not listed at Vanness, not listed at the KWZ web site. Maybe it's a secret ink.

 

And at the BauerInk.ca web site, there is a background image of KWZ ink bottles, one of which shows a partial name "Green" that looks like it could be this ink, which isn't like any of the murky or non-murky greens at Vanness, but it's not listed there for sale.

 

It's bad enough trying to find limited edition, pen show exclusives, store exclusive inks. Now we have to find out about secret inks? What will these nefarious ink tormentors think up next? :gaah:

 

 

OK, found it. In the 2015 Full List of KWZ inks, it's listed as #3100 (new numbering) #52 (old numbering) as a waterproof ink. Vanness has never sold any of the water-resistant or waterproof inks from KWZ. It's a lighter valued ink. But even the KWZ web site doesn't list this ink or any other waterproof inks.

 

I know the water resistant inks had weird ghosting issues; I know because I have bottles of Violet #2 and Violet #7 that ghost green onto the verso after a few months. I remember now Konrad mentioning these inks had some problems.

 

Anyway this isn't a standard ink. It's non-standard enough that Konrad may not even be making it anymore. Maybe he only makes it for desperate special friends. I'm sure I don't qualify as I buy too many Sailor bespoke inks. :blush:

 

Anyway here is the link to the 2015 full list if you want to check out Cyber6's swab and ultre-wet writing sample.

Now I'll have to add Ina-ho to my list of inks that I must have.

LOL

 

I miss the waterproof inks.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Tas...I much prefer your Ina-ho to their Ina-ho...but, alas, no KWZ Pea Green. I intensely dislike feathering inks and I prefer the more saturated color.

 

Thanks so much for the recipe.

Any other nice recipes with Ina Ho? I'm temted to add a few drops of either pilot black or maybe something like tsuki yo or syo ro to a small vial. But I've never mixed before, so any suggestions?

"we make the path by walking" :)

 

Go for it. Would love to see your results.

 

I've not mixed with Ina Ho for a while. I've noticed how it darkens considerably if left in a pen for a while. I know this is true of many inks but for me none as much so as Ina Ho.

 

My Ondoro loves it and they've been married for a while :wub:

      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
