Pretty color -- I like the shading. But do I really need another purple ink....?

Nice handwriting. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your kind comments. As for one more purple, can one ever have too much? Yes the shading is glorious.

I've a sample of this and the Grape to try out but I like this one a lot. It reminds of R&K Scabiosa when first applied to paper, at first glance of your review. A great one, as ever.

This was my first ink purchase, fell in love with the swab, 30 something inks later and still a firm favorite. In my pens seems to be a more grey purple, fine for a conservative work,at first glance looks like a black, till you notice it is way more interesting.

Hi,

 

Thanks for yet another fine review!

 

Damson has proven to be one of a handful of Purple-ish inks that I care to use. I like its range of tone: lighter is a bit floral (casual), which I like for some short convivial personal notes; and darker is more subtle, which suits my longer letters.

 

Bye,

Bhavna,

 

Thanks for all of your great ink reviews. I have not tried this ink, but really like the color shown in your writing sample. Seems like a great ink for broad, stub and flexible nibs. I am sure it will also make a great color combination in a sterling silver pen. Thanks again for sharing with us!

Tu Amigo!

Thank you Captain! I see you got the Grape, I would love to hear your thoughts on it at some point.

This does have some lovely characteristics - I like the smokiness that you describe as grey-purple. I think the hint of red does it for me.

Hi Sandy,

 

Thank you! It really is quite special isn't it? I'm very much a fan of the brighter hues, but this is just lovely.

 

Best,

Mauricio,

You are most welcome - thank you for your kind comments. It sounds a simply delicious combination with a silver pen - do please post a picture of pen and sample at some point! I do feel the broader nibs offer so much more from this ink!

Warm regards,

Bhavna

Ruth took the words out of my mouth. I guess it is possible to have enough ink?

Lovely review; I agree, this one is a keeper.

      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
