Diamine Rustic Brown

Recommended Posts

Diamine Rustic Brown is one of the eleven brown inks currently offered by Diamine. It is a red-toned brown ink, however it is much more red than brown. In my opinion, it could be classified as a burgundy ink rather than a brown ink, as I see no brown in it at all.

 

It behaves very well, like most other Diamine inks. There is no feathering and it does not bleed; the dry times are quick too.

 

Here are some photographs:

that is a great review of a great midwest barn-red ink---maybe that's the "rustic" part--great handwriting, too

 

Thank you! Maybe that's where the inspiration comes from? I never thought of it that way!

Thanks! A great review. Above all, your inclusion of the good comparisons. Honestly... before reading further, I myself thought that this ink (which I don't yet have) would lie somewhere between [syrah or Oxblood] and Red Dragon (I do have these 3 and few more).

No joke, but maybe their terminology "rustic" has something to do with the adjective "rusty".

Thank you for a fabulous, to the point review of a really beautiful colour! Your handwriting is absolutely lovely - I could look at it for hours and hours! I have to get some of this ink. :thumbup:

Thank you! I agree - it reminds me of a rusty brown. If you have Syrah and Oxblood, then you won't need Rustic Brown. I think I prefer Oxblood to Rustic Brown, as the latter is less saturated.

 

This is a very good and accurate review--I, too, found the ink more on the red side than the brown and was thus not satisfied with it.

 

Thanks! Yes it is more of a deep red colour, in my opinion. Fortunately I am fond of reds and browns, so it did not bother me that much.

 

 

Thanks for the review! That looks great. :D

 

Thanks!

Thank you!! :) I would definitely try Oxblood if you have not already - it's similar to Rustic Brown but more saturated! One of my favourites!

Wow! This colour is absolutely gorgeous. I will have to try it one day... soon... in a few weeks... :drool:

 

I also love the way you do your capital print letters. Thank you for a beautiful review!

You know, this may sound crazy, I don't have Oxblood and am put off getting it because of the name!!! I am a pure Vegetarian and most people probably won't understand, but like 'vege' sausages (why, really, WHY??)... anywayyy yes, rename it and I will buy a gallon! I really want to try it but I feel physically sick at the thought of it! :blink:

      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
