Here's BlaKWa. Really nice color. It's a teal sort of ink similar in color to Iroshizuku Ku Jaku or Diamine Eau De Nil. I think it's actually reaaallly close to Eau De Nil if memory serves. Eau de Nil was just a little darker than Ku Jaku, just a tiny bit less vibrant, which matches what I'm seeing here.

 

Sadly, I ran out of my sample of Eau de Nil, so can't provide an explicit side-by-side right now. I have a bottle of Ku Jaku so I can compare those at least.

 

Very good behavior. Could go on the list for an alternative to Ku Jaku for a lot of people who don't want to spend the $30 on Iroshizuku.

 

Not sure what's up with the name.

FYI - according to Tyler on Reddit, the Pendleton's series of inks are going to be discontinued, at least for now.

But it just came out!

How does it compare to Jules Verne? Looks like it would be amazing with a stub nib. We really need to introduce you to the wonderful world of broader nibbage. :P BTW, I'm up to about 40 samples now so that means you're probably around 100. No way for newbies to ever catch up.

      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
