Pen arrived safe and sound, without any damage, and write very smooth. Good line for a medium nib, and not to much feedback. Presentation was amazing. Thank you Pen Chalet!

Excellent ink for the Vanishing Point pens.
I think this ink is often overlooked.
It behaves as well as any Iroshizuku I have ever used.

I bought this because it is said to be a gentle formulation for vintage fountain pens. I was expecting boring, since it is safe. Far from it! This is my favorite blue. It is a rich, mid-tone blue comparable in my swatches to Noodler's Liberty's Elysium but displays a surprising red sheen in my journal with Tomoe River paper. I highly recommend Namiki Blue ink.

This fountain pen with it's Urushi finish is so beautiful to hold and write with. It smooth and easy to write with it's M nib. I find it's somewhat back heavy with the cap posted, but balanced with the cap off. It's big, it's beautiful, and it works great right out of the box . Fantastic ! :-) I really like Pilot Japanese fountain pens, and this Namiki is well worth it's price. { :-=)

I purchased a selection of inks from pen chalet. Great service and beautiful inks. This Japanese ink holds its own and then some among Pelican, Waterman and others. One thing I wasn't aware of is that this beautiful bottle of Maliki has a built in 'dipping cup' which is very handy because I also like to use dip pens.

Both the blue and black offer high water-resistance, quality and a unique glass bottle that makes them a go-to for business writing and envelopes of all sorts. Nice colors, good saturation and ease of cleaning compared to most "waterproof" inks makes these low cost, high quality inks a great alternative in a desktop worthy bottle.

This has been a grail pen of mine for a long time, and I was delighted to receive it as a gift through this purchase. It is stunningly beautiful in its simplicity, shape, proportion, and finish. The vermillion is a darker and more robust color than might come across on a computer screen, much to my delight. The subtle brass rim at the open end of the cap is a sublime example of the design restraint in all parts of the pen. And the medium nib, of course, is fantastic- smooth, wet, slightly springy, and a standard Japanese medium width. Finally, we were very grateful that Pen Chalet extended their sale to our purchase, which they posted just a few days after we placed our order.

This is my latest addition to my collection. It is by far the best instrument among the best. The nib is smooth and the ink flow never fails. The craftsmanship and art are exquisite, too. The original price was the best among the Internet sellers. On top of that, thanks to my birthday discount (offered by Pen Chalet), I was able to purchase it. The experience with Pen Chalet has no equal, they are the best in serving you the items and in customer service. Thank you!

The Namiki Blue is as good a workhorse daily-use blue as you'll find, attractive and vibrant with even a little water resistance.

Have only used this ink once in my Waterman Hemisphere Med nib; no complaints on that; a standard blue good for everyday writing. However, when cleaning the pen and the cartridge, it did stain the light colored sink in my bathroom where I usually clean out my pens. (Not sure what the sink is made out of - maybe some kind of acrylic; not glazed porcelain.) The stain pretty much, but not 100%, came out after several cleanings, but now I know to clean out this ink in the kitchen sink which is stainless steel and has a wider drain opening. Attracted by the design of the glass bottle.
