NIce review. Great ink. Definitely reminds me of D's Eclipse. I have always wanted to buy it (N's) but for me, it'd go through customs amd wreak havoc.

Am I seeing some shading there (and also some with Van Gogh Starry Night)? I've been looking for a nice dark saturated BlBk (much as I love the color of Diamine Denim I wasn't getting any shading with the sample someone gave me).

PS -- you may prefer Air Corps Blue Black, but I'm personally not partial to that amount of teal/green in my blue....

Ruth, I'll go along with that! My blues have to be blue. Of course black as well, even a touch of red'll do. But no teals, please. If I want green in my blue, I go all the way and use a turquoise...

Looks like it might take quite well to dilution to bring out some shading.

Shading depends on the nib and ink. Yes you are seeing some shading with Ellis Island blue black ink and the Van Gogh Starry Night ink. Nathan makes many inks, so some inks will appeal to GROUP A and will not appeal to GROUP B. The important theme is that we have a choice to pick inks that we enjoy using on the Christmas cards. :)

Thank you!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thanks for posting this. I've wondered about this ink for a while. Now I may just need to bite the bullet and get it!

I like the color and I like how it looks on most of the papers I use but the nib creep is ferocious aggressive reminiscent of the blob in the scifi movie of the same name. Several pens, modern and vintage, that have no nib creep issues with any of my other inks get ink in the cap liner and section with this ink. It happened with every pen I tried it in.

The bottle looks pretty on my ink shelf.

Thanks for the updated pix.  This is another ink that really needs to get pulled back out of the archives and put to use again.

      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
