    Default Black Face Off

    Has anyone compared Noodler's Old Manhattan Black to Blackstone Barrister Black?
    Comments and experiences appreciated.
    Kind regards.

    I haven't. I have a number of other black ink samples to try (Noodler's X Feather and HoD) and actually hadn't heard of these two. I would imagine you can get samples though. I haven't tried a Blackstone ink yet.

    Wasn’t there some wacko ink contest to name the blackest black ink from 48 inked identical pens at a pens show a few years ago? Pennshows are just a faint memory now but ... you know, glory days...

    I can't remember all the venues the results were posted at, probably at least at FPN. I'll see what I can dig up...

    So far I'm not finding the actual show shootout. I *did* find one thing hosted here that was from a Posse thing back in 2015.

    Persistence often pays off: here's the 2016 SF Pen Show Black Ink Shootout, report by Ricky here on FPG.

    Hell’s bells, I was at that show. They had drink tickets and a band. Glad someone paid attention.

    I believe Blackstone stopped production when the deadly virus of death inspired a worldwide lockdown. Many of their inks are sold out everywhere in the world.

    I think you meant for this reply to go in another thread, the one about the recent disappearance of Blackstone inks.
