Perfect light olive green

I love the color, it's the perfect light olive green. I tried R&K's Alt Goldgrun first, but it was a little light and hard to read. Waka-uguisu is dark enough to be easily legible, and has gorgeous shading as well. I tested it out in a TWSBI Go with a 1.1mm stub nib, the broader end of my preferred nibs, and have yet to test it in a finer nib, but I'm definitely adding a bottle of this ink to my stash.

Fantastic ink.

Beautiful olive colored ink. Matches the color of my Sailor Compass 1911 transparent olive almost exactly. It writes well and has a fun yet classy look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
