A couple more for Fountain Pen Day. Asvine C80 in Cobalt Blue w/Stub nib inked with Akkerman Out of the Blue.

I really like these Akkerman bottles, but the size makes having many of them impractical so I'll be forced to limit myself (which is good). Filling pens out of them is super easy, though. The color is a nice medium blue.

The C80 writes super smoothly but has no clip/stop to wants to roll away easily. Looks great, but keep an eye on it!

Photo of a fountain pen, ink bottle, and note paper with a writing sample all on a wooden table. The fountain pen is an Asvine C80 in Cobalt Blue, which is generally blue but has swirls of black, light blue, and shimmer all through the body and cap. The ink bottle is octagonal at the base, then rises up to a narrow "waist" then changes to a cylinder at the top which extends up several cm to the cap. The writing sample reads "Asvine C80 - Cobalt Blue w/Stub / Akkerman Out of the Blue" followed by several "X" characters and curlicues -- The ink is a shade of blue which is close to the pen.
