I just received my drop yesterday. I got Sapphire and Emerald. They included a little card explaining that these inks were designed after the owner used and fell in love with Parker Penman Sapphire And Emerald. While similar, these inks are different enough to warrant have both if you can. In my opinion there are no substitutes to any of these inks. Although Kobe 37 is close to Sapphire and Kobe 35 is close to Emerald, but they are not close enough.
These two inks do not sheen wildly like like some other Sailor made inks do, but they are vibrant and shade incredibly well. For sheening sailor inks: Vibrant Blue get: Sailor Souten, for a cool dusty-bright Blue with tons of gorgeous sheen get: Maruzen Eternal Blue and a nice dusty sheeninggreen get Sailor Epinard or Tokiwa Matsu.
While led I didn’t get other B.B. inks in this drop I do have most of their other inks and. They are all amazing in their own right, but Sapphire, Emerald, 4B and L’Amant are truly irreplaceable.
KWZ and Akkerman/Diamine also makes decent almost comparable inks and Pilot Iroshizuku make nice inks but none truly comparable to the aforementioned Sailor inks. Organic Studios sheening inks smudge everywhere to the point they are not useable other than for novelty. I own all of these and find my pens still have Sailor made inks 90% of the time. Worth the hype and price? Yes. I’m very glad I was able to get in on this drop.
