I love this ink, no discontent with GvFC Hazelnut Brown, but this ink performs for me perfectly. I have stocked up on 7 bottles and I wonder if I shouldn't get more seeing as Pelikan has not renewed it as part of the regular Edelstein line. I plan to start doing creative writing this month, I want to use exclusively Smoky Quartz for writing short stories and novels.

I love this ink, especially considering how water-resistant it is! Does anyone know where I might be able to grab a bottle or two? This would be perfect in my Wing Sung 601.

Both Fountainfeder and Seitz-Kreuznach have them in stock, and have relatively reasonable international shipping. I bet you could find this closer to home too, if you're in the US, but I have no idea where or for how much.

Try Amazon. They had it yesterday. My bottle will be here tomorrow.

Did I hear that the ink was being added to the normal lineup because it was such a smash hit?

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

You might email Pen Chalet, I cleared them out recently but they had some more coming in, though I am not sure what is left of this ink nor if it is coming back!

      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
