Hi All
I have a few unusual and/or hard-to-obtain inks and I'd like to offer the opportunity to a fellow Geek to try a couple of them.
I'm offering a choice of 2 samples from the following:
Blackstone Blue.
An Australian ink. I'm very impressed with its performance, colour and ease of cleaning.
Maruzen Athena Nihombashi Midori (Jade)
One of the bespoke inks made by Sailor for Maruzen. Only 200 bottles of this ink were made available.
Sailor Stationery Box Blue
An ink only supplied with the special edition Sailor Pro Gear Realo demonstrator Naginata-Togi, made for Shuumi bungu no Hako (Stationery Box) magazine in Japan.
Maruzen Athena Nihombashi Kirin
Another one of the Maruzen inks, limited to 200 bottles
Joyful-2 Purple Heart
A bespoke Sailor ink made for Joyful Honda in Japan. A beautiful subtle purple.
Pen and Message Cigar
A Sailor ink, much sought after by fans of complex, smokey grey/brown inks. The latest release of Cigar sold out in less than 4 days. Incredibly difficult to photograph accurately due to its seemingly ever-changing colour!
All the Sailor inks above have lovely sheen, if that's your thing. The attached photo is fairly close to how I see the colours IRL. They are actually slightly richer in tone.
If you'd like 2 samples of your choice, please reply in this thread, stating which 2 inks you'd like.
I'll close this PIF at 7pm (Australian EST) which is 10am British Summer Time, on Tues 5th May. Winner to be drawn at random from entries I put into the electronic hat. I'll post world-wide at my expense, but delivery may take a while as I'm currently staying in Australia.
