what’s your thoughts on Writer’s blood?  I am still fairly new to bottled inks and I recently saw this ink and it looks interesting (vs the Oxblood I am also considering).

@B. HoneydewI'm a big fan of Writer's Blood.  I know there are similar shades/colours available, but it's my go to ink when I want an alternative to blues and blacks.  Oxblood is good too, I've a bottle sitting on my desk waiting for my Pelikan M150 to run dry.

So far, it's been the red-orange barrel Sheaffer No Nonsense pen with the floral design on the cap.  Mostly finished the fill of (now-diluted) vintage Skrip Peacock Blue, which will be next on the "pens to flush out" list.

I started off with my last a Pilot Varsity from a mulipack.  I then switched over the the Lamy Studio when I had to write out a multi-page equation.  This Studio is fast becoming my favorite pen.  Today was a big test; it kept up with a fast-paced writing session.

Mostly these Wing Sungs (JunLai, JunL) 630 and 629.  While trying to find an ink for the 629 I discovered that Sailor Ink Studio 743 is very similar to Waterman Blue.

Today’s pen is a Kaweco Sport Dark Olive with BB nib filled from a sample of Oblation Olive ink.

Writing with a blue Kaweco x Moleskine Perkeo with a fine nib and Kaweco Midnight Blue.

 

That reminded me I have a Kaweco Perkeo All Back with a PO nib (customised by the place in Spain). Popped in a black Herbin Essentials cartridge to play. Lovely pencilly feedback.

I went back to my Jiaxiang JD yellow.

Asvine V200 today with Iro Kon-Peki. Only pen inked right now, I need to pick my next pen to fill!

[Penguincollector]

  Today I am working on my grocery list with a blue and gold Wahl-Eversharp Ventura F, inked with Quink Permanent Blue. 
 

@PAKMAN, is the new lapis Duofold desk pen able to write? I would love to see that.

Aagghh. Now I remember why I don't use the Kaweco All Black... it leaks a little. Looking with a magnifying glass I see a tiny tiny hole in the grip section right where it rests on my finger. Like there was a bubble in the plastic. Maybe that's the problem. Can I fill it with something?

 

I guess I will be writing with it anyway cos I don't want to waste the Herbin Essentials black ink.

[Misfit]

Funny to post this right after @AmandaW but today’s pen of the day is a Kaweco AL Sport stealth black with M nib, and a cartridge of Faber-Castell Violet Blue ink. I call it stealth black because I put a black clip on it. I like a stealth black pen.

Maybe a drop of super glue?  I hope others will chime in because I’m just spitballing here.

DH worked on it. Opened up the hole and scuffed the surface before filling it with JBWeld for plastics (I think). It will take 15 - 24 hours to cure. And turn dark grey. Not black, but really it's so small and on the underside of the grip. Who cares. And if it doesn't work I will order another Perkeo All Black and transplant the custom nib. It will be fixed one way or another. (And... I could use the spare cap and barrel for one of the Perkeo calligraphy nibs!)

 

In the meantime, I moved the cartridge of black Herbin Essentials to a Kaweco Dia2. All good.

 

Like you, I'm having a Kaweco day.

[Misfit]

Kaweco twins!
