Olde Emerald - Franklin-Christoph

[visvamitra]

I like Franklin-Christoph company and their products. I find their writing fluids interesting and Olde Emerald has great color. However it has tendency to clog the EF nib of my Franklin-Christoph M14 fountain pen.

Great review, thanks. How does it compare to diamine green-black, do you think?

Love it. Thanks again.

 

I'm saving up for a Model 25 and was not too sure which nib. Your EF sample is exactly how I'd like my Franklin Christoph to write and have saved me from ordering a fine.

 

Keep up the great work.

Thank for your complete review, very useful, in my case specially the comparison with those other greens...

I have been using Olde Emerald for some time. I have no experience with F or EF nib because I use broad nibs.

Another great review. Thank you.
