Hello there,

 

can you recommend an ink that matches the bronze colour of the Kaweco Brass Sport AND that still works with an EF nib?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Cheers,

 

Luis

J. Herbin Ambre de Birmanie comes to mind.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

I should have clarified, though, that the Kaweco's nib is an EF. Is said ink capable of producing sufficiently legible writing when used with that nib size?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Cheers,

Depends on the wetness of the pen. I use that ink in a vintage De La Rue with an accountant’s nib, which is a real needle. But that pen is sufficiently wet that the relatively pale colour of Ambre de Birmanie is not problem at all. In a dry pen, it might be an issue and newer Kawecos can be dry. In that case, you might consider something like Diamine Ancient Copper.

I use mine with Noodler's bown #41 and with Noodler's Rome Burning.

 

I would say that Apache Sunset is a good fit, but probably it is for a (much) broader nib.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

My Kawecos tend to do best with slightly wet inks. Currently my Sport and Brass Sport are loaded with Diamine Sapphire and Diamine Jet Black, respectively. If I had a dollar for every page that Sport has written, I'd be sitting pretty.

Nice topic since I've recently bought this same pen.

 

I'll post a pic of all the inks I've used in it in a few days.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

+1 for Diamine Ancient Copper. I haven't tried it, but it is on the list of inks I'd like to try on the Kaweco Brass Sport and the Liliput Copper.

Wow, thanks for the sample!

 

It appears to me that Diamine Ochre is the best fit to the colour of the Brass Sport. Would it be possible to post another, more extensive writing sample with said ink and pen at your convenience? I would be very grateful!

 

Cheers,

      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
