The color is very hard to capture. It's purple-burgundy-grey.

 

The smell is like old-school mimiograph smell :) I dont know if it's the iron-gall or the R&K inks in general, but that smell just takes me back....

 

 

 

Enjoy!

Here's a close in shot of the shading:

Thanks, Tom B) !

WriterNat, on the website of her store, The Inked Nib, calls this ink color, "a lovely, muted aubergine."

 

Aubergine is the French name for eggplant and, I think, the English name for inks, paints and dyes of approximately the color of the skin of a ripe eggplant fruit.

 

When I added this review to the index, I expanded the name of the "Burgundy" category to "Burgundy / Eggplant Skin / Aubergine."

 

Can anyone comment on how this ink does on bad paper?

Iron Gall nuts indeed. Lovely.

The pen is mightier than the sword - unless you're in an actual sword fight. Then my money's on the sword.

Thanks for the review. I've been using R&K Verdigris lately and have fallen in love with it. We started stocking R&K in the Lucky 7 Pens store recently and have found that it's been really popular. It's quite a wet range of inks so I get some bleed through on usual paper, but on laid paper (I've been using Original Crown Mill Verge)it's an absolute dream.

 

I'm definitely going to be ordering more of these inks in the future - and I may even put some of them in the Lucky 7 Pens store ;-)

 

Best wishes,

Scabiosa's a very nice ink - I've got both that and the other iron gall, Salix.

      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
