Where in North America have you found Quink Permanent Blue?... And do you mean bottles? or just carts?...

I despise washable blue.

BB is growing on me, but it's not BB, it's just "darker blue" and black, well,... it's black, meh.

 

But I've been wanting to try permanent quink blue... but all I've seen is vintage stuff. Is there a place we North American's can actually get current production permanent blue?

Not as far as I've been able to determine. :(  The last time I found either bottles or cartridges of (modern) Quink Permanent Blue was probably close to a decade ago at this point.  

I saw a bottle of Permanent Blue for sale on eBay a few years ago from a seller in the UK -- but apparently there was some law that prohibited either it to be shipped to the US or shipped out of the UK (forget which now).

@alexwi  It's called a magnifier reticle.  It fits in the bottom of a magnifier.  They come in a variety of patterns.  Mine is a holdover from my working days.

Thanks!

Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

      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
