Here is the bottle from Levenger:

Here are some of my thoughts.

When I got my Levenger ink to to with my L-tech, I went with Cobalt Blue. I think I should have picked up this one also. I like the color and the way I looks on Rhodia paper. I usually use engineering paper that is green so mostly every ink I own looks different on that except for black. Thanks for the post.

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.

I'm going to post up a review of Kobe #37 Island Blue next. Because the two colors are similar and very very nice.

BTW, every time I see your avatar (great picture!) I think of Kresley Cole's character ---Carrow who believes that “laissez les bon temps roulez means plastic beads replace attire” - I giggle every time.

Amberleadavis, thanks! I don't know that author or her characters but I'm sure you know that the plastic beads replace attire sentiment is alive and well during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. ;)

      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

      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
