Back From Germany!


kenny

Recommended Posts

Bought this from the MB Boutique, but they had to send it off to Germany for a nib exchange; I like Fine nibs. Just got it back recently.

Duke of Milan 4810.

Any votes for which ink I should use in it for its first trial?

Maybe a dark grey ink to pick up the color of the silver parts?

For me personally, it could only be a Montblanc ink: Montblanc Black or Oyster Grey maybe? Or completely off the wall with Mb Corn Poppy Red. :D

Ok, I was too late to vote, but for the second fill, what about Blue Hour blue that came out last year?

You know, a "limited" ink for a "limited" pen. ;)

Sadly, I never got any Blue Hour ink.

 

But the "limited' nature of the ink is why I used the Balzac Dandy Tourquoise. It is one of my favorite inks, and I have been hoarding it. After I filled it, I started kicking myself for not using the Einstein grey ink, another of my hoarded inks.

I am not a fan of the Einstein ink as i found it a bit boring. A pen that nice deserves a bit more pop from the ink.

 

The Blue Hour ink is still possible to find. Just poke around a bit.

Diamine Tyrian Purple, a royal choice.

OK! I think I located some at Farney's Pens online.

I use in my Sforza Oyster Grey. it´s a perfect combination!

 

Good thought, but I passed at buying the Oyster Grey last time at the boutique.

 

I have to admit, I'm a little top-heavy on various blue inks.

      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
