Montblanc Midnight Blue Ink Review

I don't understand myself sometimes. I love blue black and dark blue ink. Montblanc Midnight Blue fits in that range and I should like it.

I don't.

This is where the not understanding myself comes in to play. I desperately want to like this ink. I have tried it in different pens and different nibs and I find it to be too black. In wider nibs like the 1.5 mm stub in my TWSBI Mini the blue comes out but in the finer nibs I use on a daily basis it is too dark.

Why can't I just consider this a black ink, use it as such, and be done with it? Because it says BLUE in the name and I can't get past that! I'm certifiable, I know. I can't help it

Please tell me I'm not alone.

The Pen Addict Podcast: Episode 68 - It Is Tuesday And We Are Listening

Wow - what an episode! Episode 68 of The Pen Addict Podcast started out with reader submitted poetry and wrapped up with my announcement around the launch of Nock Co.. In the middle, Field Notes was the focus, with new sales highs on eBay being reached and a conversation with Jim Coudal discussed.

Speaking of Field Notes, Myke and I will be joined next week by Field Notes product manager/art director/COLORS guru Bryan Bedell. I would love to hear any questions you have for Bryan so please leave them in the comments section or send me an email prior to the weekend.
