Great review and a wonderful shade of blue, thanks.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Thank You....I just started reading Dune and I recognized that phrase.

It's a really lovely blue. My only problem with the ink is that it's a bit slow-drying, probably due to the lubricants added to the ink, so it's a bit smeary for a lefty like me.

Very beautiful shade of blue, which you show it well. Thanks.

 

The other photo from Apotheosis really shows a variation and shading. I love this ink too!

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Yeah...the paper I used does it no justice. On my moleskine there is a lot of shading. Didn't realize this until yesterday.

I got a bottle of this a couple weeks ago. My first Noodler's. I am very impressed with what a clean, crisp line it leaves on my not so good agenda paper. No feathering whatever, and the rollerball I was using before feathered on this paper. I like the color, too, at least for my agenda.

I have been writing a lot with Eel Blue lately, it's my favourite blue right now.

Great review! I run this ink through my piston-fillers from time to time but haven't done paper tests with it. Seems that would be a good application of the next fill.

I use this ink in some of my pens, i previously used waterman florida blue and wanted something that wrote slightly wetter.. this fits the bill perfectly.. the colour is a bit brighter but it is probably my favourite blue - i'm just waiting for one of my Montblanc bottles to be empty so I can fill them with this ink and use it more.. I love this ink! The colour is fantastic

Patience is a virtue when waiting for the right pen... although I do just always seem to miss them

I own 2 Montblanc 146 Le Grand and both piston fillers were stiff. Using Eel Blue f or 1 or 2 weeks, I didn't notice any change. However, it took 2 months, when I noticed a significant change. They became smooth almost like my Pelikans!

 

Thanks for review!

Good review of my most favorite blue. My most favorite green is also Noodler's Eel series ("Gruene").

That is a great green. Though my favorite green right now (also my only green) is Noodler's Hunter Green.

Those MB bottles are really nice, I bought Blue-Black just because of its good reviews and mostly because of the easy to use bottles.

Agreed, Eelskin blue is one of my staple inks. I just recently acquired Gruene and can tell that it will become one. The Eelskin series really has some dynamic colors. Right up there with Iroshiziuku IMHO.

What did you use for pen, nib and paper to do this photo? Looks terrific.

That is a very nice green. Is it me or does it have really good shading?

      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
