It's a very good one :)

It is very nice, but I prefer Diamine Safari. Thanks.

I just popped into this review thread to say that these inks have now been issued and are readily available from Diamine and other retailers. :)

Hello,

I don't see what others see. I don't see the blue in the ink, nor the red sheen, but at present, I'm a heathen, I'm sure with time I will learn. Also, I don't understand what saturation means, nor the difference between spread and feathering. That, I will also learn on my adventure.
What I see is Jaguar (the car not the cat) and Aston Martins DBR4 and DBR 5 1959 and 1960 season respectively.
I purchased, last week, 'Tropical Green', from Diamine's 150th Anniversary batch, and I can honestly say, I'm as happy as a dog with two 'of them', :D and that's just the jar. I don't know what I'll do when I put it into my Kaweco dia 2. (I'm praying I don't wee a little bit).:pound:
