This week we’re going to take a look at J. Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor (or just Emerald of Chivor). You might also see it referred to as Èmeraude du Chivor by some people or sites. For some reason it is sold with both names. I know that one is the French name, but I don’t know why both are …
This week we’re going to take a look at J. Herbin Lie de Thé. Similar to S.T. Dupont Royal Blue, this was a “souvenir” ink that I purchased when I was in Paris (although you don’t have to travel to France to get it, as it’s easy to find and purchase regardless of where you live). I had heard good …
This week we’re going to take a look at Diamine Teal. When I lived in San Francisco, I purchased this ink at a local shop and used it quite a bit for a few years. I haven’t used it recently due to so many other ink purchases, but remember really liking it, so let’s see why I liked it so …
This week we’re going to take a look at Robert Oster Plumb Nut. I originally put this ink on my want list after seeing it in a few different posts on Instagram and thinking to myself, “that’s a pretty great color”. I’m sad to say that when I did finally get a bottle for myself, I think I only used …
I know that we all have at least one, and for me this is it. That’s right, I’m talking about a bottle of ink that you purchased and never even used. This week we’re going to take a look at Sailor Ink Studio 573. A while back I was in Washington D.C. for work and made my first trip to …
This week we’re going to take a look at Kaweco Smokey Grey fountain pen ink. I first tried this ink while doing my Great Grey Ink Comparison and it was one of the few grey inks I liked enough to buy a bottle of. I have a lot of other grey inks that I also use and enjoy, but this …
This week we’re going to take a look at Montblanc Swan Illusion. This ink was a 2018 limited edition, so is pretty tough to find these days. I was at the Colorado Pen Show that year and a vendor had a bottle of it. I have always liked weird inks and, based on some reviews I read, this one seemed …
This week we’re going to take a look at Maruzen Athena Renga. For those who may not be familiar, Maruzen is a bookstore in Tokyo that has its own line of pens and inks. Fude Fan has a nice writeup of Maruzen’s 150-year history if you’re interested. I acquired this ink when I lived in San Francisco. A member of …
This week we’re going to take a look at S.T. Dupont Royal Blue ink. I purchased this ink at Mora Stylos while I was in Paris a few years back. I really wanted to get some sort of souvenir, but couldn’t afford a new pen, so I figured a bottle of French ink would work just as well. The bottle …
This week we’re going to take a look at Sailor Ink Studio 123 (or from now on, just Sailor 123). You may remember this ink from a few years ago when, as one of the first and most prominent multichromatic inks available, it was pretty much the biggest thing to happen to fountain pen ink in a really long time. …
