Great review! Thank you! Interesting... your reflections on the difference between blue black and dark blue. I would agree that Denim, Midnight and JFK are blue.

Writing with EEFs, this has become my absolute favorite blue-black. It's terrific for note-taking, correspondence and just doodling. Looks great on light beige card stock and stationery. The only ink in my pens more frequently than this is Noodlers FPN Starry Night, which I consider to be a black-blue.

Thanks for this review, it inspired me to give it another go. The bottle had languished at the back of the draw for years because I recalled it being a rather dull, flat, greyish blue - rather uninteresting.

 

Well, tastes change! in a wet M600 it now seems an excellent blue black, similar to Edelstein Tanzanite but a touch more blue. Indeed, a better blue black than Diamine's "official" attempt which has never done it for me.

 

Now, I know you think it is blue, not BlBk and I certainly agree there is a difference between dark blue and BlBk and that Midnight is blue. But just what constitutes blue black is a puzzling question. I shall begin the research with a set of samples from each of my blue / blue black inks and start a thread.

You're welcome. :) Good for you to get it out and try it again. :)

 

I suppose everyone has their own opinions on exactly where a dark blue becomes a blue-black :D

      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
