Many people ask where can they locate certain Noodler's Ink exclusives, myself included, so I decided to throw together a list so people could have an idea where to go.

I'm sure I missed something but I think it's a good start.

I know other places sell or will sell the inks I listed for Airline International but it's the only location I can find those particular colors outside of eBay.

I couldn't find Nikita Khrushchev Red anywhere outside of eBay.

It doesn't appear that Worldlux carries Emerald City Green any more, at least I couldn't find it on their website. Swisher Pens has Emerald green but I don't know if it's the same ink.

The Index of Ink Reviews has much of the same information but I included the links to the storefronts. And I was only concerned with what's available now and not exclusives for shows.

If you have any adds or corrections, please let me know and I'll tack them on.

Hope it helps! And Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Cheers!

1. Nikita Khrushchev Red

Thanks Doc, this is a great reference and time saver for those of us with poor memories!

My understanding is that these colors are for general release - I asked Pendemonium about it, and they told me that they'd have Heart of Darkness and x-feather sometime in January.

So I think it's not that it's an exclusive ink, so much as it is simply not in stock at most places yet.

Great list, Doc!

Goldfinch isn't available any longer...I bought the last bottle from Swisher's a few weeks ago when I read that no more was going to be made.

Emerald City Green doesn't look like the same green as Swisher's Emerald in the last issue of Greg Clark's Ink Sampler.

Best, Ann

I think if you were going to name an ink after Nikita Khrushchev it would be a brown.

Great list docsamson! Thanks for your time and work on this.

Was just in World Lux a couple of days ago and they had plenty of Emerald City Green.

Swisher Pens is selling this ink. I just saw it today.


What?! Ah, nuts! I guess I missed out . I kept meaning to buy some of that but I always had it pushed off to a lower priority than the other inks I've bought from them. Wow, if I hit the LOTTO tonight I'm just going to buy all of the ink that I see just to make sure that I don't miss out again.

Why brown?

Hmmm, how do I put it... that guy was a t*rd.

Gotta collect them all..

But who had enough guts o denounce Stalin!

Pendemonium also is the only English-speaking carrier of Upper Ganges Blue, there are supposedly a bunch more Indian inks but none have ever been spotted by an FPN'er, likely to only be for sale in India.

In Singapore there is a recent series of inks, and they can even be ordered through a website, although I don't believe this seller is the exclusive merchant, and I'm not sure whether they ship internationally..

SINGAPORE SERIES (Link goes to Aesthetic Bay Pte Ltd, who sells them online) (Pensinasia lists them but doesn't show a way to order)
Esplanade
Honorable Blue
Judicial Black
Lotus Grace
Majestic Orange
Perankan Brown
Samsui Red
Sentosa Tranquility
Singapore Sepia
Singapore Sling
Spirit of Bamboo
Vanda Miss Joaquim

And the Whiteness of the Whale and the Year of the Golden Pig are specialty inks that are not available everywhere. That probably doesn't count as an exclusive.

My local dealer just sold me both the X-Feather and the Nikita.

Re:Nikita - One reason to go brown is the shoe. But I like the red!

Great list docsamson! Thanks. Many times I've scratched my head thinking; "Who has that one?".

AFAIK, Aesthetic Bay is the exclusive seller of those colours you listed. The owner claims to have commissioned them from Nathan himself.

Pensinasia operates out of Singapore too (going by the shipping info), so maybe he might offer those inks for sale as a service to his customers, or have some deal worked out with the Aesthetic Bay folks or something.

Here's the product information for Emerald City Green, from the World Lux website:
WLUXECGN Bottle 3 ounce Emerald City Green Noodler's $12.50

Emerald City Green is nothing like Swisher Emerald but is very similar to Noodler's Gruene Cactus.

Pam over at Oscar Braun might have some Year of the Golden Pig ink left. Great highlighter and stays true neon after drying. Come to think of it, I should stock up...

I just picked up a 3oz bottle of Judicial Black from Aesthetic Bay for USD20. A good, solid, rich black. Is it any different from the standard Noodlers Bulletproof Black? Dunno. Same with the other colours: really different, or just a different name?

Spirit of Bamboo would be worth another look: an almost black green.

The entire Singapore Series is bulletproof. And from the sampler they look different from any other colors. The honorable blue I have doesn't look like any of the other Noodler's blues; a greyish-blue is what comes to mind, almost like a pastel shade.

So far, I've only seen Upper Ganges Blue at Pendemonium.

Or maybe brown after his shoe-polish (Perhaps that was a reach...I was thinking pounding shoe on desk...)

Helpful. thanks!

Chuck Swisher now lists both Nikita and Heart of Darkness (both in 4.5 oz bottles with free eyedropper pen).

I bought both from him last week, and received them. Both are very nice inks. I need to get a medium nib in the free eyedropper pens, but a great sales concept.

Do you by any chance also own Old Manhattan Black? I want to buy the darkest bulletproof black, and I'm just not sure yet which one is blacker.

This needs to be sticky!!!! Great information here!

I agree, savarez. Truly handy resource, thanks to docsamson
