My last review of 2016. Happy new year everyone!

 

I like Blackstone inks. They don't have a wide range of inks but they are generally well behaved. They all write very wet and smooth (sometimes maybe slightly too wet). I enjoy their uniform quality. Not many brands can make their inks with the same good behaviour. Some brands are more of a hit-or-miss.

It's decent green ink. Alas, not a murky one :)

Lovely review LG... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Ahh, but the Daintree Rainforest is not a murky forest (been there, done that!). It has this lovely dappled light shining through the trees.

I found this ink to be a perfect representation of the greens you see there, especially with a less wet pen and paper that can show lots of shading.

I have this lovely memory of being woken up by a cacophony of birds cavorting* over their early morning breakfast in the undergrowth.

 

 

 

* They may not have been cavorting, they may have actually been squabbling...

I recently discovered this ink via the Andersons and it has quickly become one of my new favorite greens.

Thank you, LG, I love this ink.

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

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

AH! That's surfactants at work. Shake it and it will "ungel" and return to ink.

Eww, I've just found out this ink turned goo in the pen!

      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
