De Atramentis Steam Locomotive

The water test turned out pretty good. A fun novelty ink. I inked up my Estie for the review, however, when I use it in my journal I normally just use my Haro glass nibbed pen I don't normally keep a pen inked up with this.

A nice gray but I'd buy it just for the small. Have you tried out Ylang-ylang?

Haven't tried that one yet. Looks interesting, haven't seen that one before

Some of the scented De Atramentis inks seem to have non-scented counterparts, but others don't.

Anyone know if this comes in an un-scented version? The color is interesting, but I'm not at all sure I'd like an ink that smells like coal....

I know just the person who needs this ink - a relative from the UK who, when I took him to see the steam-powered Segwun on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, immediately went to stand downwind from the funnel and took deep, appreciative breaths! But what else would you expect from someone who owns his own steam traction engine??

Thanks for the review, who knew!!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
