Graf von Faber-CastellInk Bottle, Hazelnut Brown, 75ml Ink Bottle, 141002

Although I don’t usually spend this amount of money on western inks (Sailor inks are a separate matter), I have to concede this is a beautiful green.Unfortunately GvFC inks are not universally impressive and most of the line vary from run-of-the-mill to downright uninteresting, but the Moss Green and Hazelnut are top drawer.Specifically regarding Moss Green, it shades very nicely in a variety of nib widths - is well lubricated and even has a delicate cherry red sheen when the paper allows.It is dark enough to allow for use in a professional environment and interesting enough to use for journaling etc.With 75 ml to play with, it should last a while.Highly recommended.

This is an elegant ink with a colour between Dim gray and Davy's gray and can be reminiscent of the stroke of a pencil, in some cases.The main problem I had with this ink was that it was much drier than other inks I use, including Graf von Faber-Castell's own Carbon Black and, say, Moss Green. So be advised, you need a very wet pen (or one with a very broad nib) to appreciate its qualities. This is not an ink for your EF, F or even M fountain pen unless you're really keen on dry inks.

Absolutely wonderful Ink. Beautiful rich colour. Depending on what pen you use it in its characteristics will be slightly different. I have tried it in a couple of pens and my favourite to use it in is a Waterman Carene. It seems that the ink was made for this pen. The Carene is stylish in a classical way and this ink is definitely stylish but with a touch of individuality about it and it won't seem out of place in the office.It will certainly add a touch of class without drawing unnecessarily from the content of your writing.

A wonderful ink on one of the nicest bottles that I have come across at a very pleasing price. This was a gift for the other half, and she loves it. Happy wife - happy life.

THIS IS NOT WATERPROOF AS DESCRIBED!!!!!

Fine with this ink. Suits the Faber Castell Pen I bought with it, and works well. Flows well.A trifle expensive though I thought. Other than that, no problems

A wonderful ink. It is not as vibrant a green as some but it is lovely to write with and looks very nice on the paper both when laid down and weeks/months later.

would recommend this with an extrafine nib on the faber-castell basic, mine writes like a dream with that combo, even on copy paper
