I love this ink. It is the first that opened my eyes toward the potential that ink has to shade. As a regular Medium nib user, on Hobonichi paper, this is something to marvel at. BUT. After some time now of testing different inks, finding what works for me, I will say that this has the potential to smudge and stain, well after a minute of dry time, more than any other ink I have tried to date. If I am not careful, and mistakenly rest my hand on some ink that is over a day old, it will still smudge and stain my pages, which can be frustrating.
At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy this ink color (I bought the Tuna Grey & love it). I’m not a fan of orange (except on cats) but decided to take the plunge and I’m glad I did. The color is a true ginger, leaning towards a rusty brown. A lovely mid-tone, warm and welcoming. Not too bright, not too light. Good flow and very readable. Thank you WonderPens.
I managed to get some when it came back into stock after waiting a few months for it to return and I'm not disappointed. I was anxiously waiting for the return of Ginger Chicken, especially after seeing it featured a few times on Pens and Tea.
As usual, great service from the Wonder Pens crew and was happy to see it was shipped with a freezing warning on the box since it's the middle of winter.
My sister (such a penabler!) picked this, and Tuna Grey, up for me at Scriptus. The bottles are beautiful, and the ink is so lovely. A rich, warm, orangy-brown with excellent shading. Just fun to write with. And knowing that it was modeled after one of the shop cats just makes it better.
I just filled up my Sailor LeCoule with this ink and I think it might stay inked with it indefinitely - at least until my bottle runs out! It is a gorgeous color and I love the shading. On some papers it looks more brown and on others more orange/rust. Writing with it makes me happy!
