That's like Beetlejuice right? rolleyes.gif

 

Anyway, I will have to buy a bottle of Amber ink .... because ... well .... I like the color. Not because of the name or anything. roflmho.gif

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

If it's something akin to Sheaffer King's Gold, I'd be interested in it!

 

The picture in the bottle looks to me darker than Kings Gold and lighter than Copper Burst. I'm thinking of trying it which is why I Googled for more info.

 

I found out the hard way that it wasn't actually Kings Gold I liked - it was the lovely bronze color I got when I put Kings Gold in a pen that had been incompletely flushed of some brand of blue-black, oops ;-)I still have quite a bit of the Kings Gold and have been thinking of trying to mix it with something to get the color I thought I was buying.

 

And I love Copper Burst in the Cross Sauvage Python.

 

So I still think I will give Amber a try. A little pricey, but a bottle of ink lasts a long time for me because I keep switching between different favorite pens and different inks.

I'm hoping for something like Ambre de Birmanie, my favourite Herbin colour.

I really like edelstein inks, especially when here I can't find a lot of ink manufactures.

It is very nice to have ink of the year selection, and from 2012 ink of the year I am very satisfied.

I am waiting for the new ink of the year, 2013. I am sure It would be a very nice addition and a worth buying. rolleyes.gif

Paperballs, do you and Plistumi hang out? Here she is drinking her Akkerman ink in front of the TSA agent.

Hmmm...my favorite jewelry is usually made from amber, my fragrance is amber paste, and Zelazny - well, all others ARE but shadows! B) This ink is beautiful in the bottle. I'd love to see it on paper.

Oh DobeMom - you are after my heart - I have a sample with your name it if you can PM the name of my son. PS he's not the oldest child.

I'm not really sure I would like to purchase Amber, since my Topaz ended up so much like the Waterman South Seas Blue I already have, and people have been saying here that the Edelstein Amber is a lot like one of the J. Herbins.

I saw a few reviews and I think the color is far nicer than the J. Herbin. In fact its the only Edelstein that I thought possibly worth the ludicrous price.

Did you look at the reviews. It is a great ink.

I agree that it's much nicer than the J Herbin which looks thin and watery to me. It's a lovely ink.

Its like Pears soap on the page - lovely!

      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
