Today we’ll be reviewing a Lennon Tool Bar ink from their 2019 Limited Edition Autumn series. Saira is a cool-toned grey.

This ink had a wet flow, similar to Pilot Iroshizuku inks.

Overall: Saira is a grey ink that can be used throughout all of the seasons. The flow is quite wet and would be best used in dry writers or fine nibs.
