Hello again SoulSamurai, this ink is on so many people's shopping list, but sadly its a discontinued ink and very rare, many (including myself) consider it the ultimate blue.

 

Here is a thread related to PPS

 

Best regards.

 

 

I know what you mean. However, if you want a deep, rich blue with a lot of that red sheen, check out Organic Studio's Element's Nitrogen. Man that ink has A LOT of red sheen! Bear in mind for sheen to show you need a wetter nib and a paper that handles FP's well. For example, the cheep copier paper that soaks up the ink easily will show little sheen, but good paper -- get ready for SHEEN!

A thread like this deserves a stunning pen.

 

fpn_1523781366__onoto_3500__272_1_of_1.j

 

Onoto 3500 with No.2 nib. Recently purchased, needing and given a full overhaul.

 

Gorgeous little No.2 nib, beautiful writer, from about 1925 yet with very clear marking. Well behaved so far, currently with Robert Oster Fire Engine Red.

 

Probably the most boring looking pen I plan to keep. :) It is worth what at the time was a slightly risky price for an unadorned non-working pen, albeit with excellently clear chasing.

A Moore Lever Self-Fill ring top, chased brown rubber, gold medium nib and inked with Visconti Bordeaux ink. The blotter is a reproduction. Sorry for the less than great cell phone photo.

It's even better IRL, isn't it? Pictures never do that pen justice!

My fingers are always inky and I'm always looking for something new.  Interested in trading?  Contact me!

      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
