Noodler's Recreant Rhinoceros (RINO)

Noodler's Recreant Rhinoceros (RINO)

I was attracted to this ink because it is quite a chameleon. I like inks that transform. This one writes from black and then dries to a Green/ Teal, depending paper.
The name of this ink is intended to provoke. A marketing gimmick: pity as the ink is complex enough, to stand on its own.
But we’re not here, to debate politics, but enjoy the creativity and diversity of inks

I don’t have any ink, to can compare it with. Ink writes a grey black and dries to a variety of colours depending on your paper.

Thanks Yazeh for the review - I love the properties of this ink, but really, really dislike the politics and thinking behind it, making it a hard no for me, which is a shame because the colour and behaviour is so attractive.

Why can't it just be about the ink?

I totally agree. I use it as a spiritual practice. :)

Thank you for the great ink review.

Whether you agree with the apparent politics behind the name or not, it is a lively way to market ink.

But I must say, I am not a huge fan of Noodler's inks - not because of the politics (I could care less), but because of the formulation and odor (of both the ink and the politics!)

It is. Isn't it? I prefer the historical themed ink to this one...

Yes. I need my inky life dangerously with Noodler's. :D And sure some of them are scented ;) like KTC, but thankfully it dissipates rather quickly...
