on saleSailor Shikiori Yamadori - Ink Sample

Love the color and the performance, just wish it was cheaper so I didn't end up buying a bottle and got Diamine Aurora Borealis instead.

I wasn't sure if I would like this because I didn't want a bright teal, but I was so pleasantly surprised. It's a very dark, sophisticated color with pretty red sheen on Tomoe River S paper. I love inks that are dark, legible, and filled with concentrated color (but not bright), so this absolutely scratches an itch for me.

This is a super concentrated, dark teal with noticeable red sheen. Saturated without being a bright teal, which is something I really like.

This is in my top ten inks, without a doubt. I had it in my Franklin Christoph with a no. 6 14k flex, and the way this ink leaves the nib and settles on the page is hypnotizing. With respect to shading, there is a very stark gradient between the deep, dark teal towards the bottoms of each letter, and a lovely presentation of an honest teal towards the top. There is a great deal of crimson sheen, but all things considered, the ink remains true to the deep teal. Sailor makes outstanding products. Highly recommend.

I would get this ink but it's just to expensive.
