Franklin-Christoph's Olde Emerald

[MyDarnSnakeLegs]

This is a relatively new ink from Franklin-Christoph. Their green reminds me of the color of old money. You know, that kinda faded green that you get on a dollar bill that has been through the washer a few times. It feels good on the page, and it has worked well in every nib I've put it though. In fact, I got several nibs for the same pen just so that I could do that easily. If you're into reviewing inks, I can't recommend that enough. It's so much better than putting the same ink in several pens.

 

 

 

 

There are lots more pictures and a longer review on my blog. The bottom line is that this ink is totally worth the price of admission. It's a really nice green that shades and behaves well on all sorts of paper.

Nice review! I especially appreciate the handwritten sampling of FC nibs. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.

I'm very fond of this new ink from Franklin-Christoph too! I've been using it in a Bexley Americana with a customized left oblique cursive italic nib and the results have been very nice. Although it's a subtle difference, this ink reminds me somewhat of Stipula Calamo Mushiato Verde. No doubt this Olde Emerald is a favorite of mine.

Thanks, folks. I haven't tried but one of the Stipula inks, and that was a Sepia that they were giving away at the last DC Pen Show. I should try some more.
