I love this ink. It's look on tomoe river or other hard Japanese papers is to Rhodia what Rhodia is to copy paper. My stubs on tomoe give me limb darkening and outlining shading while still looking like actual chalk. This ink is too high-class for mere copy stock. ;)

Beautiful review. I wish my writing was as beautiful as yours.

 

Hey alarickc, can you post a pic of it on the tomoe?

I'll try this weekend, but I may just bring it in person to the meet-up. School has me swamped.

Is this a new MB ink? I just went by my local MB store and they hadn't even gotten pink, yet.

How do you get so much flex from your konrad? Mine seem pretty indifferent to my efforts.

 

Keep on trying to flex it gently. The Noodler's nibs need to be broken in before they'll yield a lot of line variation.

Don't quote me on this... it came out sometime in 2014.. and because is an LE, it will not be available through Montblanc. But because it was only last year, you have a very good chance to still find it at a decent price.

I love the review and hate it all at the same time. I just hate it because it reminds me that I don't have nearly enough of that ink to last me as long as I need it to.

I did a little research and you are correct. Somehow it slipped by without my noticing it. I didn't find any for sale through my regular sources, but I like other inks better, so not a problem. Thanks for the information.

I went to the ink cave this morning in search of something else. I came across two bottles of this. It must have slipped my mind—along with a few other things. But as I said, I have other inks that I like better, so these will remain unopened for now.

      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
