Pelikan Edelstein Amber Review (Ink Of The Year 2013)


write to me often

Recommended Posts

The whole line of Edelsteins...WOW! I'm jealous. I agree with you WRT the Edelstein inks. I find the two that I have to be well behaved also. I'm so impressed by them, that I'm sure I will be buying more over time. As an update on my "orange experience" I've loaded some Noodler's Apache Sunset into my Lamy Safaris fitted with a fine, 1.5mm stub, and 1.9mm stub nib. The fine nib provided only so-so results...you might even say "poor" results. But as for the stub nibs...the broader the better. The 1.9mm nib lays down a thick, juicy, well saturated, and beautifully shaded line. Here's a photo. Apologies for the poor quality of the photograph, but I think it gets the point across.

 

Dear Peter57,

 

Thank you for your response. It is really essential to see how an ink behaves different with different size of nibs.

 

I am living in Turkey so, Noodler's inks are quite not available for me. It is good to see Apache Sunset which is a very popular orange.

Thank you for the review and we hope so see more. Welcome aboard.

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

I find that it is darker with a finer nib that what was in the OP. I've used it with mediums with great results.

So, that answer would be, it's prettier in a finer nib. (giggling)

      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
