Noodler's Tokyo Gift

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Hope this post finds you well.

 

So I was browsing for ink, and came across Nathan's newest ink. However, I have reservations about his inks considering the disaster I had with Bernanke Blue, I have sworn off Noodler's entirely.

 

Should I give this ink a chance?

Thanks everyone! :wub:

I'm not sure what problem you have had with Noodler's but ask yourself "Am I willing to have a repeat of the previous bad experience?". That will answer your question. I've heard horror stories about Baystate Blue but my favorite ink is one of his called 5 O'Clock Shadow.

I don't know if the ink is and/or will be "good" or "bad" but I think the color is repulsive.

This latest ink appears to be an "ordinary" ink - No fast drying, bulletproof, etc. So I doubt it will behave anything like the Bernanke series which were supposed to be fast absorbancy for lefties.

I did a review of the ink a couple months ago. I like it. It is saturated. But it won't stain. Like most Noodlers inks, I wouldn't put it in any of my sac pens, but otherwise it is safe for just about anything you will want it in.

 

Here's the link to my review:

And if you want another, here's someone else's review.

I just picked up a bottle of this at the Ohio Pen Show over the weekend, but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Like eharriett said, I wouldn't put it in a pen that I thought there'd be a problem with the ink, like a vintage sac pen. But a modern c/c or piston filler? No problem. I've even put some Noodler's inks in a Parker 51 Aerometric (after all -- those were originally designed to use Superchrome ink, which I gather is WAY more noxious than ANY Noodler's ink). I do limit the use of BSB to a dedicated pen, because it can interact badly with other inks -- even other Noodler's non-Bay State Series inks; and because it stains everything and its cousin.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
