As with all my reviews I try to be consistent in color. However with the number of variables involved in matching a color to everyone's monitor, what you see on yours might not be the actual color, but it should be a fairly close representation.

Great looking color and qualities. It appears very similar in color to my "High Pilot" Tuski-yo.

This one I like a lot, thanks for posting the review!

Nice looking ink, good characteristics as well from the sound of it.

it may actually be just in time to replace my love of Noodler's Coral Sea, seeing as I cannot afford to buy CS all the way from Australia.

I like Coral Sea because it's dark, but a cross between a green and a blue with some black tossed in the mix.

I like turquoise inks too but they're typically too light to use as a daily-carry ink for documents and signatures, so this might just fill the gap.

Thanks for the review!

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

Oh now I do like this one! No feathering on copy paper? Really? Are you taking about cheap 20lb copy paper? If so, I will definitely have to get a bottle of this. I've been looking for a BP blue that doesn't feather like crazy.

Looks great. Thank you for the review! If I didn't have Legal Lapis, then this would definitely be a blue ink for me. Hmm, I wonder if Nathan's gonna make a brown ink with the same concept. If so, I might have to order my first brown ink.

PM,

 

Thanks for the ink review. This ink looks a tad like Noodler's other ink: Legal Lapis. Can you compare with your sample from your binder of ink reviews and provide a comment?

I'll do you one better. Here is a scan of them compared. Quite a difference in my eyes when you actually see them together.

I love the color! I have this ink on pre-order with Swisher Pens, and now I can't wait for it to get here!

PM,

 

Now that's what I call prompt service. Thank you!

 

Yes, I see the difference between the two samples you supplied. However, the shade is not saturated enough for me to add it to my ink collection. All in all, thanks for taking the time in responding.

 

Cheers,

I agree Signum1, it is quite a light color.

On the Swisherpens site, Bad Blue Heron looks a little washed out, but not in your scan. Swisher Pen Bad Blue Heron

In the scanned review, it looks a lot closer to Noodler's Ottoman Azure. I love the Ottoman Azure, but it isn't waterproof at all.

 

  • Is this ink anywhere close to the azure?
  • Does the ink have any sediment or grit problems like the Baystate series?

So I just received my bottle of Bad Blue Heron from Swisher. The label is quite possibly the best Noodler's Ink label ever! I adore the color, it seems to flow well thus far, there is zero feathering on any of my papers... so I am quite happy with it. Bad Blue Heron is the ink I will be using for postcards, addressing envelopes, and writing checks. My only complaint is the smell. Is it just me, or does this ink stink like a permanent marker?

I put it in my Aurora Optima. I'll let you know in a week or so when it's time to flush and refill.

      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
