Montblanc StarWalker Blue Planet Review

[Tonight]

Hi all

 

I was dropping by one of the boutique the other day for a repair on my Meisterstück Pencil, when I found that they still have the StarWalker Blue Planet in stock.

As I had been curious to how this colour compares to the rest of the Montblanc blue inks in my collection, I decided to pick up a bottle for comparison.

 

The Writing Collection

To start, it has been some time before I had broken out my 145 collection for a run, so I figured to choose a few to help me with this review:

Meisterstück 145 Diamond with Extra Fine nib

Meisterstück 145 Doue with Silver Barley with Medium nib

Meisterstück 145 UNICEF with Oblique Broad nib

 

 

The Ink Bottle

 

The only indicator that its the Blue Planet ink is the packaging box itself.

It comes in their standard 50ml glass bottle that Montblanc uses for limited inks.

 

 

Writing Review

 

 

Ink Comparison

I love this Sparrow rubber stamp that I managed to pick up during one of my stamp-collecting phase during the past year stuck at home.

So I decide to just stamp a bunch of it and just colour them in.

 

 

Closing

As per most Montblanc inks, it is well-behaved and exhibit no bleed-through or feathering.

While I love all the above inks, I do find the Blue Planet to lean slightly towards the Greenish-Blue spectrum, as compared to the other inks.

For daily use, I do prefer a True-Blue shade, and still lean towards the Lapis Lazli and Elvis Old Glory Blue.

 

This ink was released in 2020, and seems to be still in limited stock at some boutique as of writing.

I purchased this ink for USD$40 (SGD$55 equivalent)

 

Hope everyone enjoy the read and finds the review/comparison useful.

Hi Tonight,

 

Nice review and a nice collection of pens! I agree the ink has a hint of a green tint to it. I really like that look. I like the color comparison too.

 

Thanks,

Thank you for the review!  Your 145 collection is lovely.  And the Starwalker Blue ink is intriguing.  I may need to add this to my collection.
