I'm shocked! ha ha

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

Any further word on when this ink will be arriving on American shores? I find it very appealing....

I've no idea but Phil did say they were trying for a sort-of simultaneous 'launch', here and elsewhere. Whether it will coincide with the Flower Set as well, I really couldn't say.

Contacting the US dealers and stockists might be the best source if information.

What a shame that Diamine have not had the forethought to launch Salamander at the London WES.

 

My thoughts are that they would sell a tanker full of it; after all just look at the number of us pen and ink fans who attend every year. Sigh.

I still think it will do well enough.

Well, to chuck in my own two pence about this, if they release it in 1-2-3-N months or not -- but it still does seem to exist -- I'll buy it someday after all. In plain English, I think I might like it, but I'm in no hurry to check that out.

Fair enough - just not your sort of colour perhaps.

I just checked in with the US Diamine distributor yesterday; it still hasn't arrived but he's hoping sometime next week, then another few days/week to arrive to retailers. So... later this month?!

Got my 80ml bottle of Diamine Salamander today (am in Manila). Very nice, a dark olive-y color coming from a wet nib! It did feather in one of my poorer quality notebooks, but is really nice on Canson 90gsm sketchpad paper.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
