The most expensive ink I own (owned) is (was) Sheaffer Skrip Black. Unfortunately I couldn't prepare a review of it, because I forgot about the $nk week and sent the bottle to a friend of mine, who was willing to give it a go. Why 'the most expensive'? Because I had paid some money and received nothing in return (except for a headache). I believe it was a bad batch or something, as many people love Sheaffer's ink and I have never had any issues with any other ink by Sheaffer. This one was terrible: very poor flow, clogging, feathering (really massive) and bleedthrough. I hope that it was really just a bad batch.

So sorry for your bad experience!

Thanks, Lgsoltek. Happily I've treated myself to a bottle of Aurora Black - now *that* is a black ink for me.

 

Wow, Tas, what a great post. I'm glad I'm not that much into black inks. I do admire your drawings and doodles, though.

 

I can't remember which of my inks was the most expensive on the basis of price per millilitre - probably either MB William Shakespeare or MB Leo Tolstoy. GvFC Moss Green was the most expensive per bottle, but I have also Iroshizuku Yama-Budo, which would be the most expensive if I hadn't bought it from Japan (got a pretty good deal on this one).

      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
