Very nice ink. I used to have sample and I enjoyed this one quite a lot. Sadly at the moment this ink, due to it's unobtainability, can be only recommended to and chased by hunters & collectors.

Lovely ink. I have a couple of vase bottles of it. One I stumbled across on eBay, from a UK seller, and grabbed it for a very reasonable price. Sometimes, all the stars align.........:-)

If you are enamoured of it, try the MB Defoe which is probably just as hard to obtain.

I have both & they feel completely different to me. Defoe is drier in comparison, like many Montblanc inks, & lacks that lush Sailor feel. Defoe is also more "grey", at least to my eyes.

I used up a bottle before the feeding frenzy began & miss it. R&K Alt Gold-grun is as close as I've managed to come on my budget.

While I think Defore is drier, the colors looked the same to me after they dried and the MB was water resistant and fade resistant. I agree that Sailor inks are lush, but for the price they should be fade resistant. That being said, I love the Sailor blues.

Barely missed an auction on one of these the other day. Won't let it get away again.
