These are so very tempting. May be time for an early self-Christmas present.

Are they in stock anywhere at this point in the U.S.? I waited some and now not seeing any for immediate delivery. Goulet is sold out, Pen Boutique taking pre-orders, not on Goldspot web site................help!

Thanks. I checked the site and they have them and 2 of the 3 I'm looking for; I'm checking with them for the Safari which wasn't there at this point.

Haven't been able to lay hands on Blue Velvet yet, but got a bottle of Regency Blue from Vanness last week. What a great color!

For $15, it is not terrible, although I am not impressed at all with the Diamine inks I bought myself. I am a sucker for special editions and cool bottles.

I tested the Carnival with a sample from GouletPencompany. I am a red hue lover. I was not impressed. It was darker than it appeared on screen, or as I expected by its name; it was also dry for my taste, and not at all indicative of its name.

Montblanc Corn Poppy, which seems in the same range of red, looks better and has some pop to it in terms of overall color. Also, there are others which probably represent in red color range better in the Diamine line, in my opinion. The Carnivial just doesn't seem to deliver as a 150th Anniversary Ink representing something special.

Have been writing with Regency Blue a good bit--very well-behaved and a magnificent color, unlike anything else I have seen. Gave up on waiting for US suppliers to get stocks in, so ordered Blue Velvet and a second bottle of Regency Blue direct from Diamine--shipping wasn't very costly. Probably will try the Blue-Black as well. My tastes have been gravitating toward darker blues for some reason, and also toward blue-blacks, as long as they don't have a teal/green component.

[SeeksAdvice]

Guessing over priced for what you get. Hope that the green is more stable than the "Sherwood Green" I had.

[Newjelan]

Oh! They have arrived in Canada! The Canadian distributor has them ...now the hard part begins. Making a choice!

That's the easy bit - buy them all. I did and they look beautiful on my desk.

[Penlust]

I got all of them as a gift for Christmas. I'm delighted with all of them but I'm very taken with Silver Fox with a nice flexible nib. The Safari and Terracotta are next.

I like them so well I had a friend make me a lazy susan. It's pretty cool and looks great on my desk.

[BetwixtTheLines]

Penlust, that's beautiful! I want one!

[Zanshin]

Penlust, that's a great idea. Your friend should look at making them available via Etsy or something similar. I'm sure there's a few us here who'd like to buy one.

I love blue/black inks and the one reviewed here looks quite nice. I'll have to pick it up!

LOVE the lazy susan!

Thank you Vanness! My ink gift came from your store and I thank you very much for helping steer my step daughter in a such a decadent direction. She is pen novice and was a little overwhelmed. She made me very happy!

My friend does have an Etsy shop. It's THEOLDPUEBLOWORKSHOP. I'm not sure he has them on Etsy but I'm sure he'd take on order. It would probably display a circle of ink on your counter.

I hope to be able to visit your store in person sometime this year.

 

Darned auto correct!

thanks for the review! i am so totally getting the blue black & regency blue... that Safari.... may need it too

[harry015]

The blue velvet and the terracotta really appeal to me. They would be used on different paper, for different purposes, and would probably take care of all my needs for the foreseeable future. Can anyone tell me the price point in the US, and where it can be easily found...

These are available many places--Diamine inks are popular. Without looking around for the best price you can get them here for $16: http://www.gouletpens.com/diamine-bottled-ink/c/50/?facetValueFilter=price%3A15.95
