I have a mostly used bottle of Shaeffer Skrip King's Gold ink. It seems this is no longer available, at least not in the UK. I have tried various other inks, in an attempt to find a replacement. But nothing matches, nor comes near.

 

Would forum members share their thoughts on their favourite gold or deep yellow ink? I am not looking forward to the day when the Schaeffer King's Gold has finally gone.

Dear Vickie,

 

Many thanks for the PM, which I received OK. I have sent you a reply, assuming that I am using the forum reply system correctly.

I love Sheaffer's King's Gold too. There's always dip pen & metallic gold ink.

There was a real gold fountain pen ink marketed at the Chicago Pen Show a few years ago. Anybody remember?

I remember some 24K nano-particled real gold fountain pen ink that was wildly expensive. I really wanted some. :cloud9:

I have a bottle of nano gold particles I got from a school trip or something when we when to the university, it was worth 50 cent a few years ago, must be worth like 2$ now :P Nano gold looks black though...

It has been a while since I used King's Gold, but the new Akkerman Hopjesbruin seems very close to my recollection.

 

I just put a very quick review of Hopjesbruin in the Ink Review section.

 

Regards, greg

The closest I get to gold is Noodler's Golden Brown. Caran D'Ache Grand Canyon comes close, but is more expensive than gold.

What do you think about this color? Is it golden?

I don't know, that sure looks more like orange though.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
