Fritz Schimpf gewitterwolke (stormy blue)


brokenclay

Recommended Posts

Fritz Schimpf is a stationer in Tübingen, Germany, and this is one of their seven (as of this writing) house-branded inks.

 

gewitterwolke (German for thundercloud) is a slightly green leaning (but not teal) medium blue. It is available in a 30ml bottle for 5.49€. It's also part of a four ink set for 19.95€.

 

It's my favorite of the Fritz Schimpf inks so far; it's low key without being faded or dull.

I'm liking this one too. But will have to wait until all the ones I like the look of are back in stock.

Nice, I love this one too, I have a sample received from Fritz Schimpf with a pen, but I'm seriously thinking of getting a full bottle.

The name does describe it well (stormy blue) it's darkish, with a very faint green shade but not teal, which I usually do not like.

It's also close to a blue-black but the blue tint remains very evident.

I didn't remember seeing any green tinge last I used this ink (I gor a bottle as part of the four bottle set), but, by golly, when I spread some out, I DID see a bit of green tinge.

 

Yes, a lovely, dark, stormy blue.

      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
