Thanks, I did wonder as your picture seemed to show a double step from the section to the nib. It is already discussed on FPN https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/349440-hongdian-fountain-pen-all-black-brand/

Yep, a double step

Moonman m600s in teal I got last week. Great pen in fine but it clogged with emerald of chivor more than once, so I had to swap to iroshizuku syo-ro instead. Heavy acrylic smell from the cap though. Will post pics when I can

PenBBS 491-19 This has to be one of my favourite PenBBS materials. I mean, just look at the way it picks up, and plays with the light.

Well Malcolm, I think you've just persuaded me to place an order from China! I hope that colour is still available when I can afford it, probably in two or three months.

How are you enjoying the Thornton's ink? This is my first bottle, and I find the orange 'just' satisfactory.

Color is more intense using a broad or 1.1 stub nib. To me with a med or fine nib, it is too pale.

Bright red Jinhao X450 with Octopus Fluids' Ultramarine. Bright red and blue is a nice fit. Talking about this pen: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Ursk1DCZS/
