Edelstein Olivine 2018 Ink Of The Year

Recommended Posts

Was just at Pelikan's site where they're trumpeting this year's Ink of the Year, Olivine. I believe the new color has been known for a while but this makes it official.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I saw something on their instagram feed about a month ago. Looking at it again just now it was January 12th. They said it would be available in March in the comments. Someone asked specifically about a matching M200 and was basically shut down. So no confirmation of that. Around that time, Sarge Talon on thepelikansperch.com had something about it.

The ink looks quite interesting. I find I really like yellow leaning greens (as opposed to the blue leaning ones).

Would have to try a sample of it before being a full bottle of course, to find out how close it is to greens I already have.

While I'm generally not big on golden greens, I have to say that the splash under the bottle does look nice, more dark green than overtly golden. But do I really need another dark green? I'll wait on the reviews to get a better look and maybe order cartridges.

I will be in the queue outside the ink shop. Possibly the day before. With sleeping bag.

 

I like green. I like grey green even better.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I have every LE Edelstein since Garnet so will be getting at least one bottle of this one too. I wish I had the ones bef Garnet but didn't know abt them at the time. I am using Sapphire right now in my Pelikan Toledo 910. I received 2 new Pelikan pens in the mail yesterday so I need the new color.

      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
