What is the Ohuhu Oahu?

It’s Ohuhu’s chisel-and-fine alcohol marker: a dual-tip marker with a broad wedge chisel at one end and a fine bullet at the other. Ohuhu sells it for coloring, illustration and design work in sets of 36 to 320 colors.

Ohuhu is one of the best-known Amazon-first art brands. We cover its brush-tip Honolulu and its water-based Maui markers in their own guides; this guide is about the Oahu line and its best-selling 40-color set.

The 40-color Oahu set is one of the most-rated alcohol marker sets on Amazon. On October 23, 2026, it showed 4.7 stars from 15,245 ratings, No. 2,117 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing and No. 33 in Drawing Markers.

Amazon’s review summary says buyers like the quality and how the colors blend, and find the set fine for beginners; it also notes some colors look a little off and the ink bleeds through paper.

How do you use the chisel and fine tips?

Hold the chisel flat for broad, even fills and turn it on its edge for narrower strokes; use the fine tip for outlines and small details. That’s why Ohuhu’s listing image gives the chisel a range, 1–6 mm, rather than one width.

Alcohol ink dries fast and blends while still wet, so you lay a light color first and work a darker one into it. Ohuhu’s buyers note on Amazon that the colors blend without needing a separate blender marker.

Should you pick Oahu or Honolulu?

Pick Oahu for flat fills, lettering and outlines; pick Honolulu if you want a flexible brush for painterly blending.

The chisel lays broad, even strips and the fine tip draws lines, so Oahu suits lettering, design sketches and coloring books with clear outlines. Our best alcohol markers roundup compares more sets, including another Amazon-first option, Caliart.

Which Oahu sets can you buy?

Ohuhu’s store lists Oahu sets of 36 skin tones, 36 grays, 40, 48 pastels, 60, 100, 120, 160, 200 and 320 colors, plus single markers. The 40-color set is the usual starter; the 48 pastels and the skin-tone and gray sets add colors to an existing collection rather than standing alone.

Single markers sell by color code, so you can replace a color you use up instead of buying a new set. Ohuhu is moving its alcohol markers to a new color-code system; it says the ink and nibs are unchanged, and a conversion chart matches old and new codes.

Who makes Ohuhu Oahu markers, and where?

Ohuhu sells in the US through Ohuhu Inc. in Newark, California, and Galaxus lists the Oahu set as made in China. The USPTO lists the OHUHU trademark, registered July 28, 2015, as owned by Yiwu Thousand Shores E-Commerce Co. Ltd. in Yiwu, China.

The Amazon listing is sold by Ohuhu Direct, whose seller profile names Ohuhu Inc. in Newark. Neither Ohuhu’s store nor Amazon gives a country of origin; Digitec Galaxus lists China.

How much does it cost?

It’s in our $ band: the 40-color set works out well under $5 a marker. Ohuhu’s store and Amazon both sold it when we checked on October 23, 2026.
