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.

Zuiderpark Blauwgroen is nice ink that's VERY similar to Diamine Teal (I don't have a sample so I won't be able to compare them).

If that's not Diamine Teal, I'll drink a bottle of it. Although I imagine it wouldn't taste as nice as Eau de Nil, this is one of my favourite inks to use.

 

Stellar review as always, your reviews are always eyecatching and informative.

Great review as always. .

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

Visimatra, I really like to read your reviews, all of them!

 

I also like that language-themed writing sample - and I am wondering how you pick the text. This one in particular is quite funny as you have picked a text in a Flemish dialect, which, in my perception, contrasts nicely with the sense of Dutch respectability I associate with Akkerman (and The Hague in general).

"Je suis un homme-plume. Je sens par elle, à cause d'elle, par rapport à elle et beaucoup plus avec elle." (Gustave Flaubert)

Well - usually I look for some poems , prose ot tomgue twisters in the given language. This time I've found this tongue twister and although I don't know the single word in dutch I liked the way the letters are connected and the way I imagine that would sound :)

      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
