...and as the command to abandon ship comes the captain says 'We're likely to be a year on that there desert island, afore anyone finds us AND young lad/lass you can only take one of them there inks on my lifeboat. We've paper a plenty mind... '

 

What will it be?

 

(Oh, and extra pirate points for photos.)

Whichever bottle has the most ink in it. For me, probably a Noodlers ink.

Lovely choice, I may have to buy that. Very dark and stormy! (I'm not taking green or red though.)

Hi Nibbler, et al,

 

Well, if the good captain insists that I vacate his vessel... I think I'd take J. Herbin Vert Reseda... it's a bright, cheerful color... and I'll need that to boost my spirits.

 

I've heard people complain about being shipwrecked, so it must not be too much fun; I'll need a festive color. :)

 

Be well... and enjoy life. :)

Noodler's Rome Burning

 

UV resistant and Waterproof

Archival and fade resistant

 

so it survives as message in the bottle :)

 

You're all so creative, I thought this would be blue-black

Very flamboyant! (don't go down with the ship, there's always hope - or rum)

If I have to choose just one ink, it'll be permanent black. Monteverde Documental Black for example.

Now that's more me TBH

If you bring Parker Penman Sapphire Blue, someone from FPN would surely send out a search party.

One of us better take a good water proof ink so we will be sure that our story gets told if we don't survive. Monsoon season may destroy all the other writings, so I'm bringing the Platinum Carbon Black.

Blimey! J.Herbin 1670 Stormy Grey will remind us of that curst night we lost our treasure of gold and gems to the merciless sea.

 

Don't forget to save the rum!

this made me laugh when the Friday eve laugh-o-meter was -0

 

I was thinking De ARRRtramentis Or Noodler's glow in the dark to signal the FPN rescuers.

      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
