Squeteague - Noodler's

Recommended Posts

Noodler's is one of the companies that don't need introductions. Nathan's Tardiff work is unimaginable. The guy must be a vampire who doesn't sleep and feeds on developing ideas: new inks, new pens.

 

Squeteague has unusual color and good properties. I'm not sure whether I really like the color.

A lovely teal and a color I was unaware of. Thanks for the review, visvammitra.

Thanks for the review! I have a sample of this color and it proved to be such a great match for a pen I was on the fence about, I kept both ink and pen.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Not a color I like, per se, but thanks for the review. Because who knows -- at some point in the future I might suddenly have a craving for teal and it's good to know that this one is relatively well-behaved.

After all -- I didn't think I would ever have a use for blue black inks....

I haven't bought a bottle of this yet, because I didn't know what a Squeteague is or what color it is. I do like the color; I like strange colors of ink that could only have come from a fountain pen. I'll pick up a bottle in my next big ink order.

 

Thanks for the review.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I have this ink as well...love the colour and writes well...it looks better on the page than I thought when I bought it. I would say it's similar to the Sailor Jentle Yama-Dori

Recently picked up a bottle of this ink. It has become my new favourite. The perfect shade of blue, similar to a tranquil stormy night sky. Love it.

I tried a sample of it today. It looks very close to Akkerman #24. (Zuiderpark Blauw Groen) Since I already have that, I don't need another too similar. Still the Noodler's ink is very nice indeed. (and much cheaper) I do like this type of color, and it shades nicely too which is always a plus for me!

I'm pretty sure I have this ink. I bought a bottle of Ottoman Azure which isn't azure blue at all, but is a dead ringer for visvamitra's writing samples. I think the bottle is mislabeled.

 

Even though I didn't ask for my bottle of this ink, I do like the color and it's a perfect match for the Petrol Lamy Safari.

I got this ink a couple of weeks ago. When I filled 3 of my pens with this ink, It's a very decent colored and nicely pigmented greenish teal black ink.

 

However, I had a major issue. As if the ink didn't want to flow through the feed and nib. And yes, I shook before filling, and this happens both on my fine, medium and bold nib pens. My bottle was dry as a bone. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I had the same issue with bulletproof black, too.

 

As a last resort, I added a drop of dishwashing soap to a 15ml bottle, and now it flows great! I even see the blueish teal color now. Before the dishwashing soap lubrication, it was a beautiful pure green/black, now it shows the exact color that I wanted. Still a little bit more green than the OP's scans, however, very decent green/teal/black.

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

      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
