Nice sheen:

Nice comparison... with the right paper and pen it will be indistinguishable...

Nice comparison. Now, have you compared the Kobe Maroon to Bungubox Clown Teardrop? On paper they look surprisingly similar! [Photo to come...]

Thanks for the review.

The photo showing the sheen makes this ink reminiscent of the old Sailor Grenade (even more than Oku-yama).
