As far as colors, I knew from the Atlanta Pen Show that Vanness (what a great store/nice people!) did not have or had sold out of a number of colors and was wondering more about what was in stock at this time.

We restocked and now are out of a few different colors- but should be 100% restocked by Mothers Day.

I am lusting after their bottles…..the time and my purse is just not in the right frame yet! I wonder how their #18 came to be called "Garuda Rood"……Anyone from India curious?

It's named after a famous Indonesian restraunt in The Hague.

Very interesting about the naming of the Garuda Rood color. I received my package from Vanness yesterday. They do an AWESOME job at packing the inks, you can kick the box down the street and nothing will break. :D I picked up #5, #8, #13 and #18 plus a few other brands I hadn't tried before, Diamine Syrah, Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses, and Private Reserve Avocado. My ink exposure has been limited so I'm trying to expand my horizons and try new brands and colors ... and maybe I'll even find some new favorites.

I picked up the #5 Shocking Blue and #10 IG Blue black at the store and couldn't be happier. Going back tonight to look again and see if I need another bottle!

Don't look at this post if you are an Akkerman Ink fan and have a weak heart.

Indonesian mythology has its roots in Indian mythology. Garuda is in fact a giant bird, the transport of the Hindu god, Vishnu.

Vanness is an awesome place to visit. All those inks, pens, and mechanical pencils. :)

you liked the auto points didn't you? But I think we had our hands pretty inked up - amazing what one pen problem can do.....

Thanks for helping with the laser- Mike still can't quite get it figured out. L

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
