Melnicki gave me a sample of this and suggested I could add it to other inks for great shading. I haven't done that yet, cos Deirdre gave me PR Chocolat, and I inked a pen with that... and now... but anyway... passing along the tip that adding Noodler's Walnut to lighter shades can give your ink nice shading.

I love Noodler's Walnut; it is a very antique-looking brown, a distinguished brown.

I'd love to be able to supply an answer for you but I don't have either.

I'm an ink initiate and it's the only brown I've got.

If it helps though, I prefer eating walnuts to chocolate or havanese dogs.

I don't particularly enjoy the havanese breed of dog, but they're mostly fur and very little meat.

I just received PR Chocolat. If you'd like I'll try and review it tomorrow and get it up. I have to go out and buy a dip pen though. I have all my pens inked and it's getting to be a hassle to flush and reload just for a review.

I bought some Noodlers Walnut just over a week ago and have tried it in 2-3 pens. It seems slightly blacker than my monitor is depicting penguinmaster's review. At times, it looks almost completely black to me! But then I used to say that about MB Racing Green - my favourite ink.

I think Walnut is probably the best ink in the entire Noodlers line. As has been said before, it is the most distinguished looking brown ink available anywhere. It is so conservative it could probably creep into the business environment without raising any eyebrows.

 

A few weeks ago, I was at our office in Asheville, NC, and I had occasion to look at some old documents from the late 1800s. The color of the ink on those pages was very similar to the color of the Noodlers Walnut in the scan above.

 

I'm curious about Ethernautrix's comment about shading. Are you saying that Walnut itself has great shading... or only when mixed with other inks?

i bought some Noodler's Walnut on the weekend, and have been using it in my Lamy Safari w/ steel medium nib...

 

i love the ink...the colour is amazing, its not as dark as the review looks though.

 

maybe its the pen and nib i'm using, but from what i see in one word there different shades which adds so much character to the ink.

For my two cents, I'm using a sample of this ink now, and the review (at the beginning of the post, not the PR Chocolate comparison) is pretty darn true to what the ink looks like, at least on my monitor it's the best digital-to-reality match I've seen.

 

Great flow, and initially I thought the color was too dark and too green, but it's really growing on me...

I'm addicted to Noodlers Walnut. Mine is nice and dark from my VP and C 74. Maybe there is a difference from the vintage :P

I find that the pen makes a big difference with walnut (my favorite ink, btw).

 

In a very wet writer, it really is a brown-black. I don't use it in pens like this.

 

In a writer with more average ink flow, the ink is spread out nicely and the color is shown off at its best to my eye.

The walnut is a very nice colour, and penguinmaster's scans are spot on with respect to the colour. My friend uses this ink with his M620 Grand Place and the colour is beautiful.

      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
