Seeking Noodler's Raven Black

[Vicarious]

This is my first time seeking a product through any forum, so pardon me if I break any protocol. I recently discovered Noodler's Raven Black, and I fell in love with the subtle greenish undertones I see in swabs. I went to purchase a bottle. However, it doesn't appear to be on sale anymore. Would someone be willing to part with their bottle? or maybe even just a few sample vials? I would be looking to purchase, but I could make a trade as well if someone was open to a vial trading situation.

Unfortunately, this is an ink that was made for Canada only. One of the very few places that had it was at Wonder pens in Toronto, but Liz is no longer carrying any Noodler's stock.

Contact them, they might have it. But the shipping might be cost prohibitive

Received a note from Brendan over at Wonderpens. They stopped carrying Noodler's inks a year ago and sold the last bottle of Raven back then. Hopefully someone can help the OP with a sample or a used bottle.

All the Best.

I have Borealis Black in case that's any good and anyone likes to use that.

Thanks for the replies and effort guys! I will keep looking and praying. Chrissy thanks for the offer, but I already have some Borealis Black.

A few years ago, I was planning a review of Four Noodler's ink: Polar Black, Heart of Darkness, X-Feather and Raven Black. Unfortunately, I was not well organized and forgot which was which. As you can see I put the colour of the pens, instead of inks

See if you see any difference

You're welcome. It's one of those bigger bottles (4.5oz??) with the eyedropper top too. Fingers crossed you find some Raven Black.

Thanks for sharing. I can definitely detect a difference between some of them, others are pretty close. sadly the only one of those ink colors I have tried is HOD, which is my current go-to black.

Heck - write Nathan; no telling what he might have packed away in some lost corner.

And, dunno how close it comes but there's a Raven Black by Scribal whose swatch has a greenish caste.

It's also sold on Amazon ($5 higher) - I only mention it here as that link shows the swatch, where the home site doesn't appear to (that I readily saw, anyway), & you can grab a peek. https://www.amazon.com/Mythical-Rave...843431&sr=8-81
Good luck in your quest!

Raven Black was an unusual black. When I wrote with it, I had the fleeting sensation of the flapping of Raven's feathers. It wasn't as waterproof as the other inks, a bit of the ink washed away, but it was an unusual black

[Vicarious]

I do quite enjoy unusual things.

Somehow I missed this, thank you for the reply!

The swatch looks cool, I might give it a go. It is also called Mythical Raven. I think that is really cool because The Raven is such a big piece of folklore for the Native people up here, especially the tribes on the panhandle(South East from where I live). Also, apparently, they don't ship to Alaska, at least through the Amazon site.
