    Cool Ink PIF: Sailor Kingdom Note ink samples

    Good morning all,

    This PIF is for a set of 5 samples (approx. 3ml each) of the bespoke Sailor inks made for the Kingdom Note store in Japan. I imported these into the UK via WRE forwarding service, and they are quite rare outside Japan.

    The winner can choose 5 samples from three sets available:

    1. Birds of Japan
    2) Insects of Japan
    3) Fungi of Japan (this is the very latest set to be released)

    The winner can choose from either one complete set, or mix and match to select their favourite. If you'd like this set of 5 samples, apply in this thread, saying why you want them. I will liaise with the winner about their choice of inks.

    I will close this PIF at 7pm (BST) next Thursday 12th June. I am happy to post these worldwide.

    Hi migo984,

    As you know I love to try new inks and I have few pens that I have acquired in the last few weeks which I would like to try with these inks.

    please count me in.

    Many thanks.

    Rui

    Good morning migo984 ~

    Thank you for this wonderful ink PIF. I've never seen this ink before, it looks gorgeous. It would be great to try it out on a few of the new (old) pens that I've been lucky enough to get recently. Trying out new inks is something I always look forward to. Please throw my name into the hat for this one.

    Thanks again,
    Kathy

    Hello migo984.

    Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful PIF! I'm constantly looking at trying new inks because at the moment my ink collection is very limited to only a blue and a black and I would love to try new colours, so please count me in!!

    Kind Regards.

    Hi Migo - another chance at new and exciting inks! I'd love to jump in with both feet. The bottles alone look lovely of course that's not the samples, but if the bottle is already so nice... the ink won't be nasty, will it? So, please count me in for a chance at these. And thanks for doing this...

    Hi, Migo,

    I would try these inks as I have heard of them; I don't think we can get them in the US except by buying them through an ebay seller. They all look like beautiful colors. I would write lovely poems using them, I'm sure.

    I'm a newbie and my descent into pen addiction can't be complete without trying some ink. Now that I have about 20 pens I need ink to fill them

    Oh! look at those!

    I'd be delighted by these because:

    1) The oh so Japanese attention to the exquisite colors of bugs.
    2) I'm a student of Corvidae and the first ink pictured (Garrulus lidthi) is a member.
    3) The little green and pink mushrooms are enchanting!

    Would do my best effort to post ink reviews of what I'd received.

    Thanks for introducing us to this lovely series in such a generous way!

    Wow. Having already dipped my toe into the world of sailor bespoke inks I would love to try some more. The themes all look fantastic, it will be hard to make my mind up. Probably a full fungi set though.

    Slightly disappointed that cyanopica cyanus wasn't one of the birds, since that is a special bird to me.
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    Hello I would like to enter please. Why? Because inks is an area of the hobby I have yet to explore. As you probably know there are few places in the UK that sell ink samples so it makes it difficult to take a punt on inks without the risk of an ink not turning out how you thought it would and feeling hard done by especially when you are a student.
    Great offerings as always, I hope the winner will appreciate it.

    I would like to apply. I love ink samples. I have several ink samples from gouletpens.com and enjoy them. Ink samples allows me to try out ink without making a huge commitment. I have never use ant of the sailor brand ink either.

    This is huge!!! I never dreamed to be able to try these! Oh. Thank. You!



    Lately, amazing Geeks have been incredibly generous in sharing their inks with me. I'll be writing with real gratitude when I take up my pens.
