Passage Blauw - P.w. Akkerman Ink No. 1


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

Few years ago PW Akkerman started to offer ink private label. The thing that makes their inks special is cool bottle. The colors are nice as well and it remains mystery who makes them for Akkerman.

The rumor has it the mysterious ink maker is Diamine. My experience with these inks makes me believe that's the case.

Passage Blauw is intense, cold and saturtrated blue that I rather enjoy. It may be similar to Diamine Mediterranean Blue however at the moment of creating this review I didn't have MB samp[le to compare them.

Looks almost Baystate-esque. Very nice.

Interesting review, and a nice colour indeed (wonder why I don't have this one yet?).

 

Like probably every Dutch pen lover, I have a couple Akkerman inks; they are very good, the bottle is classic, and the shop is a pleasure to visit.

      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
