Rohrer & Klingner Salix

Think you've sold me on this ink man. Its color changing property is really something else. Thanks for the review!

Great meeting you at the pen show cook out last night. Finally checked out your blog and channel this evening. Love the ink reviews. Looking forward to reading more about your favorite grey inks.

Thank you for this review, Mike. I know it's been out a while, but I have been looking for a good review of it, and most people review it as quite blue, but thanks to your delay in recording we can see what it really looks like on the page. I love blue-blacks... they are my weakness... and this is a true blue-black in the traditional sense. I have a Pilot VP which I don't like... it skips and doesn't lay down a great line... maybe I should get this and try it in the VP. Cheers from Melbourne.

Easily my favorite ink. It (along with R&K's Scabiosa) is the only ink I have that doesn't utterly obliterate Moleskine paper, not that I really use Moleskine. But my favorite thing is how easily it cleans out of pens despite being so permanent. Basically a perfect ink, and not very expensive either.

[@matttaylor3034]

Those Platinum iron gall inks piqued my interest as well! I'll be looking forward to seeing how they turn out

Matt Taylor Do you recommend it for school grade paper (basically so thin it is see through wet rollerboll feather!

[@toastpulver3422]

@@Yafama with a ef nib it should work

Lamy Benetoite reminds me of salix. I love both of them

[@inkdependence]

Salix is a great one, for sure.

[@JavierArellano]

Thanks for your videos. I got one from the writing desk for 4.51 bucks. I love it! Like you mentioned: it's on the dry side but not too bad

[@Yeimok]

I have been using R&K Salix for over ten years. The color fades and some letters are hard to read, after some years. You may need to stir the bottle to mix the inksin the bottle.

Thanks for the review. Does it get any closer to black or it only gets as dark as what shown in the video? Thanks.

[@inkdependence]

Nope. It's dark blue/black, but not a black ink.

[@jjavalon]

The dark blue turns pale gray after a month or so. Even on bigger nibs like a broad. On fine nibs it’s very dry in my experience. Disappointing. Thanks for reviewing.

[@luckyblueduck]

Thanks for the review! I was just about to order it when you mentioned about the ink eating up the paper after a few decades - yikes!

[@inkdependence]

I mean, it'd probably take longer than that, but it could happen. Modern IG inks aren't that corrosive, I don't think.

[@netkeiba7664]

What a nice review!

[@cynkel7661]

How hard/easy can you clean your pencil after using this?

[@tompov227]

This is the only video to mention that iron gall inks could potentially ruin the paper they're on thank you for being so thorough as that is an important fact to me that everyone left out

[@inkdependence]

Yeah, it theoretically will. It'll just take a very long time before anything like that happens.
