pretty bad site implementation shall I say, where's the regular ink range ???

If you're thinking of Perle Noire, Lie de Thé, etc. they don't belong under the Jacques Herbin brand, but its sister brand Herbin. In the same vein, Graf von Faber-Castell and Faber-Castell are related but separate brands.

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.

Which is a rather new development though. When did they split? Last year?

Thanks OP for posting this link. I went with the Fir Green as it's the only one I think I would use regularly. I love dark green inks.

You're welcome!

 

 

I am looking forward to this ink and wonder how it'll be packaged. They say it'll have gold and silver glitter, so it fits neither into the 1670 line nor the 1798....

 

Their "split" is also quite confusing to the consumer it seems, not sure how good an idea that was...

Well, like I said earlier: my general response to the 1670 and 1798 inks have been hit or miss. I'd have to see the final product (and whether it will be gold or silver sheen) but overall I suspect I'd take a pass. Just happy it wasn't the other green....

Glad it was Fir Green -- depending on how it ends up, I might get a bottle.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

As per initial statement, it'll have both gold and silver glitter.

      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
