Ink Review: Bungubox Nostalgia
Sailor Bungubox Nostalgia doesn’t get that much love around the the ink review world and as far as I can see it has fallen a bit by the wayside. It’s a nice brown but I mainly bought the ink 2 years ago because of the evocative name and label. The sepia colour is also a…

Ink Review: Robert Oster Orange Rumble
Orange Rumble is a relatively new addition to the Robert Oster lineup. It looked nice when I first saw photos of the ink from Rob, but upon seeing it in person I was very impressed! Rob describes the ink as a 1970’s inspired ink. I can see where this is coming from; browns, burnt oranges,…

Pen Review: Nakaya Decapod Writer Aka-tanemuri
On July 31st last 2017 I reviewed the Nakaya Piccolo Writer Kuro-tamenuri. Twenty-eight days before that review was published I had ordered my own Nakaya. Ten months later it finally arrived; the Nakaya Decapod Writer Aka-tamenuri with a broad bi-colour nib. It’s been a long wait but I think it was worth it and having this one…

Ink Review: Kobe #07 Kaikyo Blue
Kobe’s ever increasing list of inks were for a while only available from Japan.

More recently they began being sold by some US stores such as Vanness…

Ink Review: Pent Ebizome
The Pent inks from the Pen-house store in Japan have been out since the last half of 2017 but they recently expanded their retail presence into the US via Vanness Pens so I thought now would be a good time to show off some one of their inks. The inks are, of course, made by…

Ink Comparison: 32 Black Inks
This black comparison has been in the works for a while and with resent additions to my Noodler’s collection I thought it was ready to go. Blacks aren’t terribly exciting inks but they are practical inks and people usually approach them for a specific reason and usually there are things that people are looking to…

Triple Ink Review: inkArt Robert Oster Ten Dollar Note Blue, Teal, and Green
The Reserve Bank of Australia is releasing a new $10 note on the 20th of September this year. Featured on this note is a couple of fountain pen nibs to represent the fact that the people featured on the note both wrote. There was a suggestion somewhere that an ink should be made to commemorate the…

Ink Comparison: Sailor Dark Reds
Sailor Inks are one of my favourite brands of ink – this is no secret. In general the characteristics their inks are what I look for in an ink. Reds are not my favourite colour but Maroons, Burgundies, Bordeauxs (etc.) are shades of red I really like, in fact they are one of my favourite…

Pen & Ink Review: Robert Oster + James Finniss Serendipity ✑ Robert Oster Lake of Fire
The Serendipity Hybrid Pen is a collaborative pen between James Finniss of Pensive Pens and Robert Oster. The Serendipity is a hybrid between a dip pen and a fountain pen where it functions without a filling mechanism and only operates with whatever ink is in it from dipping the pen. Because, however, it has a standard…
