Sailor (Pen & Message) Saku (New Moon)

[lgsoltek]

Saku means new moon. It's a nice blue black with sheen.

Sample

I suppose it would look more gorgeous in a wider nib.

Sheen

 

Comparison

With a few blue-blacks (and other colours). Pilot Blue Black is the closest, but still quite different.

Well - it's decent but if I was forced to use blue/black it would be Tsuki-Yo or Shin-Kai. Edelstein's Tanzanite is good as well.

Wow. That sheen is something else!

Thanks for the review. And not. You keep DOING this to me! Tempting me with lovely inks when I have a fistful of untried samples dagnabbit! That's the third one of this line I've seen reviewed -- and the third one I WAAAAAANT!!

Any online retailers of this ink?

[Algester]

atsu from ebay can get it P&M also has an online store but may not ship overseas

[fireant]

Thank you for this review!! the sheen you had is amazing!

[gylyf]

Nice! Reminds me a bit of Ishida Bungu Hakodate Twilight. I'm sure saskia would be able to tell us about the differences...

[Fabienne]

Great show of ink. The sheen is great. I still like the sheen and shading and color of Akkerman Shocking Blue. But if you are a fan of blue-black, this one is nice.

[jmccarty3]

That's a magnificent ink. I'm trying very hard not to buy anything right now, but it's going to be difficult to keep from contacting atsu about this one.

[Algester]

I know I'm just putting this up anyone got San-ya-sou?

[mudman]

That's a really nice sheen!

[lgsoltek]

I know I'm just putting this up anyone got San-ya-sou?

 

That's what I've been wanting to get. I may have it soon.

[Algester]

I just checked with Pen and message site... only Saku is currently available in their line of inks I have'nt checked with writing lab if their line is still complete...

San-ya-sou and Shuurushi will be available early next year... so I guess the inks will be a permanent stay with this shop thats good to know

fuyu-gare will be in july

Cigar will be in august :X stay strong for the people who thirst

Beautiful color, but does Pilot Blue-Black sheen like this?

[AndyYNWA]

I like that you have quoted "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw in your text sample! Didn't think it was popular in China.

Pilot BB does have some sheen, but I haven't compared the two side by side. Maybe not as much as Saku.

It was Eurovision 2015 at the time of this review so I used the lyrics in the review.

Looks nice, but I think I'll stick with 4B for my Sailor Blue-Black fix...
