I don't remember seeing it advertised anyplace of the usual US retailers who carry R&K inks, but then I haven't really been buying ink much recently until this week.

Despite my bluster that it would sell out as quickly as Aubergine - as of May there are still European supplies around. The good folks as fountainfeder, pennonia and appelboom have it (and ship worldwide), but my local stationer papierundstift has sold out.

 

I couldn't see any available at US stores (according to google anyway).

Thanks for the information. I haven't really done much ink ordering from overseas vendors, but I have looked at appelboom's website in the past.

ETA: I understand that some inks are limited to specific vendors/markets, or limited by the availability of the components. But as a result it's a bummer for the rest of us....

Apparently Vanness1938 had it, but showing as out of stock now.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Well, after my recent experience with them, I'm not a fan of the place any more. Got one of their ads in my inbox last week, and in unsubscribing from getting mailers I told them why I was unsubscribing -- in EXCRUCIATING detail.... :angry:

Though I'm late in the game, I must show my appreciation for the OP's fascinating ink review.

 

It is on the basis of reading this review that I decided to buy a bottle myself. I have a certain weakness for brown/sepia inks & am a huge fan of the Salix & Scabiosa ferrogallics. R&K inks have always been well priced & reliable.

 

As a spec. ed. ink, 20.00 CAD is a good price point, well below some of the usual "boutique" brands. . :thumbup:

Thank you kindly Sir.

 

20 CAD is a good price - around 13 Euro, a pinch more than I paid in Germany inc tax (although our Berlin correspondent, Lapis has found it cheaper).

 

I wish you much writing pleasure with your new ink.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
