Something about it reminds me of a blue spruce, but it's not quite the same color. I'll have to test it in another pen (countrydirt & DaveP, thanks for the advise on how to dry up an Ahab) with a finer nib to get a sense of what it's like in a more constrained context.dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-3552799840812465842011-12-21T22:50:41.570-05:002011-12-21T22:50:41.570-05:00I agree with peninkcillin, and its just that I can...I agree with peninkcillin, and its just that I can't seriously find any way to use this ink other than to stain napkins and my fingers.Steven Horvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666741938599712110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-16229649585281411952011-12-21T21:40:59.850-05:002011-12-21T21:40:59.850-05:00Looks like this ink is a bleeder.

I'll give you advice opposite of DaveP ;) I pulled the feed & nib out, scrubbed it all down with water and dish soap and then pushed it back in so that about 9 lines on the section show and the nib tip is about 5 mm past the tip of the feed section. After that, turn the pen nib down and lightly press the nib against the feed section. Then ink it up and see what happens.Troy Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594444454262915494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-10111858438702069342011-12-21T14:22:59.646-05:002011-12-21T14:22:59.646-05:00What a pretty color!!What a pretty color!!Zuzuhttp://zuzusthoughts.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-32930544011266501132011-12-21T08:37:52.302-05:002011-12-21T08:37:52.302-05:00Re 'excess' flow from the Ahab?

Due care about that breather tube when you withdraw it? If it won't go back, unscrew the body and push the plunger down a little until the breather tube slots back in, then refit the nib/feed.
