Sailor's Full Ink Lines Including Shop Exclusives Compiled In A Post?

Here's the beautiful blue that comes packaged with Shumi No Bungu Hako's limited edition Sailors (http://www.sideriver.com/ec/products/list.php?category_id=5415):

 

 

 

 

On Tomoe River:

 

 

The bottle is completely unlabeled, and it's the usual Sailor bottle, not the taller bespoke bottle. I don't think this ink is available for sale separately from the pens, which is kind of heartbreaking, because it's my favorite blue ink at the moment. Also, I have no idea what it's called; the best Google can do is 'stationery box blue hobby.'

I have the Pro Gear Realo with blue trim in the demonstrator form (it's one of my favourites) and the ink that came with it. The ink isn't available separately. I call it Sailor Stationery Box Blue. I offered a sample of it as a PIF over on the 'other' site, and it was a very popular choice from the selection of inks I offered.

 

If you like it and want something extremely close, I did a comparison for myself with Kobe #37 Island Blue. On Tomoe white it was quite difficult to distinguish between the two. The Kobe #37 may have a teeny bit more reddish sheen, and be a tad darker, but it very hard to distinguish between them. My partner thought they were the same.

I have Kobe #37 Island Blue and will try it out to see how it compares. It's that pen that really attracts me. Oh well, I've always wanted what I can't have.

My bottle came with the demo Realo as well. Thanks for the #37 recommendation; it's been on my list of inks to get and I just haven't gotten around to it.

The #37 looks like it might be a little more saturated, but they're quite close!

Yes I agree. But from the pen it's very difficult to tell the difference.

Thanks for the tip! I'm barely through one fill of the 'Stationery Box Blue' and I was already mourning the ink

Hey guys, I came across this ink in Bungunomori: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bungunomori/bungunomoriink/

 

It's from Sailor but I'm not sure about whether it's made for the store or if they are selling someone else's? Would appreciate some insight if anyone knows

Just wanted to update with a sample from Sailor x Joyful-2 Haruha Green, using a M1000 BB nib,on Tomoe River paper. The shading isn't too prominent from this nib, but the sheen is noticeable! There's way more sheen than what I was able to capture.

Ooooooooooooh. That's going on my list!

*dreamy sigh* I live in hope that Midori and Kirin come back in stock at some point.

[Davros]

That Midori!

It would be amazing! Many of us would be quite happy I guess

The Kirin looks like a really great color too!
