Here you go, guys!

 

Got this bottle pretty recently.

 

I thought I would write a quick review of it. Nothing extensive, just a first look.

 

Any other questions, feel free to ask!

 

Cheers,

Martin.

I like it, but not so much for dry pens.

For some reason the first ink I thought of when I saw it was Diamine Salamander: it is not the same colour at all, but I guess there is something 'gritty' and 'organic' about both of them.

Enjoy!

Look at the range of colours the glass pen produces! :thumbup:

That is J.R.R. Tolkien on his profile photo. See for example http://narnia.wikia.com/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien

Merci beaucoup! Cybaea a bien reconnu la personne sur ma photo: J.R.R. Tolkien!

 

I am sure your French is much better than my German!

 

Glad you liked the review. Avec plaisir!

 

On a side note, I have to agree the ink looks a lot better in a wetter pen, which should do its great shading properties justice.

Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Got 2 bottles today from the MB store... Stock up as fast as you can ... according to the store manager this will be an extremely short run ink. They actually didn't want to sell me the ink because they want to sell them with the pen.. but since they didn't have the pen they seemed to find the ink in the back of a draw.

My wife bought me a bottle of this ink for xmas, together with the matching pen :-)

 

i find it very wet and unable to cope with most of the paper i'm currently using so will keep it for a later time.

 

Nice colour although i personally prefer irish green

 

Cheers

I bought 2 bottles of it at $17 each. I really like it. Not quite as much as the Jonathan Swift, but close. It shades nicely, bit it is a tad wet in most pens.

I enjoy MB 146 pens, Sailor, Pilot and Platinum pens as well. I have a strong attraction to dark red and muted green ink, colors I dislike for everything but FP ink. I also enjoy practicing my handwriting and attempting to improve it. I love the feel of quality paper under a gold nib.

I have this one and Johnathan Swift. I prefer Daniel Defoe because it is yellower rather than bluer green, which suits me. Love the shading, the acceptable drying times, and the lack of bleed through. I may well sell my Johnathan Swift so keep an eye out for the classifieds.

      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
