A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

(also J. Herbin Bleu Pervenche is not that far off)

 

But the top in class is Sailor Jentle Sky High. The only ink I have ever hoarded.

 

So long as I have Sky High my bottle of Kon-peki will sit unused. I used to keep a Pelikan loaded with Kon-peki but threw in the towel and put Sailor in that now too.

In addition to Souten, Kobe #17 Shioya Blue, made by Sailor and available on eBay, is also a lovely ink. Both are, IMHO, superior to Kon-peki.

Pelikan Edelstein Topaz

 

I found Topaz or Diamine Florida Blue or Diamine Mediterranean Blue very very close to kon peki.

Hey pen friends ~

 

I made a 2 color mix 2 days ago I am calling "Nifty Blue". It is very close to the amazing and wonderful color kon-peki, so I thought it might be worth sharing.

 

Nifty Blue is almost as nice as kon-peki and has the added factor of being more "nifty" in a few ways that I appreciate as a Nibsta' :happyberet: , and you might enjoy as well.

 

Cheifly:

It is washable. Comes off with Lava soap and a Tweezerman nail brush so I can go through the evenings without admiring my lovely blue fingers.

 

Secondly:

It is a lot less expensive. Cost comparison: 100ml (two 50ml bottles) for @ $25 as opposed to one 50ml bottle for @ $25. Markedly cool.

 

and, C:

I find that it has great qualities regarding flow, dry time, and rather nice shading (minus the red overtones of some of the denser blue inks). One of y'all brainiacs might like to figure out the PH, but to quote my dear friend and mentor, Sir Richard Binder, "I've never had a problem mixing two Waterman inks together." I suspect the PH is quite fine.

 

So.....

Pendleton's Nifty Blue recipe:

 

Equal parts of:

Waterman Myterious Blue + Waterman Obsession Blue = Pendleton's Nifty Blue

 

I recommend pouring both bottles of Waterman into a measuring cup with spout and then refilling both bottles with the mix and relabeling.

 

Perhaps one of FPNs several very qualified, inktelligent review gurus would enjoy giving it a proper review (a task I am not qualified for). Hopefully they will confirm at least one or two of my observations.

 

Love, peace and joy to you all ~

Pendleton

 

Oops ... had photos below that are not showing. will have to rely on the kindness of the ink-minded. :)

      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
