SWEET JESUS I NEED THAT. Not want. NEED. It cannot be unseen, and thus has become part of me. I long for it the way I long for sushi.

 

I could not have said it better. :happyberet:

I'm going to make you feel better by pointing out that the pen in the photo isn't the Stainless Steel 2K, it's the much cheaper everyday black one. :)

Thanks for your attempt to help but my inner voice is adamant about the Lamy 2000 Stainless Steel, as well as a bottle of Rouge Hematite and Bleu Ocean also...

So, what's your point?

Out of curiosity. I am not new to FPs, but am to "special" inks. For those of you who are taken by this grey and it's sheen, what would you use it for?

I've never used an ink with gold particles in it before. I've heard of the feed clogging issues with Rouge Hematite, and how they're on their third formulation. Should I be concerned about this ink also? Am I going to need to give my pen a good shaking before each use? If so, that sounds dangerous... :)

I've used the original formula Rouge Hematite in a cheap Chinese pen with a fude nib, and didn't really have any clogging issues -- and that has big metallic flakes in it. The writing sample I saw at DCSS of this new ink looks more like tiny dusts of metallic flakes (think the gold dusting on some maki-e pens). I suspect that a broader nib or one with a lot of flex will bring out more of the beauty of this ink.

As for shaking the bottle, it isn't dangerous at all. Unless of course the cap isn't tightly sealed. :lol: You will want to get the metallic particles back into suspension, but you don't want to get lots of bubbles, so just invert the capped bottle a few times before opening it. I think that should do the trick.

Hi Ruth, thanks for the feedback, but you've misread - I'm not worried about having to shake the bottle, I'm worried about shaking the pen! :)

You have got to be kidding me! I just drooled.

 

I've been into greyish inks lately and this one will be purchased as soon as the Goulets get it!

Writing. It's dark enough and the gold will just give me enough visual pleasure to enjoy my journal!

Whatever I feel like.....just because I can! (Probably letters and cards. I get crazy with different inks around the holidays and this would be a must!!)

So, what's your point?

      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
