Sailor Kobe # 51 Kano Cho Midnight

[chromantic]

This ink has a ridiculous amount of green sheen ... maybe that is the "teal" people are talking about... Hint of green in the blue is actually the sheen.

I was already thinking, from vis' scans, that this is the blue-black I've been looking for but that photo cinches it.

You'll love it. Been through multiple bottles in the last year.

Noooooo!!! It's not listed on cool-japan's site. I've sent a message asking if it's just out of stock or discontinued. Hopefully I'll hear back in a day or two.

 

And I'd gone ahead and ordered a pen the same color as the green sheen, just for it.

It won't be discontinued; not all 60+ Kobes are listed at any one time on his site.

I expect he'll be able to get you a bottle, unless Nagasawa themselves are temporarily out of stock.

This looks really nice I love rich blue/indigo/black inks and of course sheen. Ink of witch also a favourite. BB Clown teardop and Sweet potato purple sheen to this green colour.

 

I just ordered a load of Kobe samples off some guy in scotland on ebay- he has all 54 colours. I don't really have the space (or the funds) to buy and keep the full bottles of these inks. (NB. I regularly buy other stuffs from cool japan who is an excellent seller). I may have to buy all 54 samples!

Well, that reassuring, migo, thanks. I don't mind waiting.

[Ghost Plane]

Yes, this one sells out quick. Atsu can only get 3 at a time, I believe.

[lgsoltek]

Oooh I don't even love the colour but I'll kill for that green sheen!

[white_lotus]

Even the Kobe Nagasawa page at Amazon currently not listing the #51. It seems that all the others are in stock, so it must be Nagasawa is out as well.

Not quite related to this thread, but........the Kobe Rose link is broken.

Nice ink. After Dark Lilac was released, I quickly realized that, of all my bottle ink choices, I favor darker blues and darker purples. This is next on the list. Thank you for sharing.

[chromantic]

Yay!!!!! Got a message from Atsu saying it was in stock, with a link to the product page. Order placed.

 

The pen is estimated to arrive Feb 13 -16, the ink Feb 10 - 28.

That green sheen only shows itself to me when it feels like... It has been quite trick for me to bring out, even though I use sheen prone paper.

 

But it's there.......

[amberleadavis]

Not yet. I'm still working on a load of Witch and not about to waste a drop.

 

 

OH yeah, one of my favorites.

My favorite Kobe Ink

Just kidding, I was buying the pen anyway.

[888007888]

Ordered a bottle. Couldn't resist. Can't wait to receive it. I'll post an ink and writing sample when it arrives.

[888007888]

Arrived today from Japan. Really fast shipping! Loving it. It's too late in the evening to take good photos. I'll post some when the sun is up and I have a chance to snaps a few shots.

Mine arrived. Wrote a few lines with a Carter's dip pen, the green sheen is awesome. Trying to decide if I want to try it in a temporary pen until the one I'm planning on using it in arrives.

[mongrelnomad]

I have a bottle of this on the way over from Japan. Can't wait...
