INK REVIEW: Noodler’s Bad Belted Kingfisher

Posted on by
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  Now on to the review….Noodler’s Bad Belted Kingfisher.
Crazy name!  Do you know what it means? I have no idea. 
I like the color quite a bit – a dark steely tealy, yes? Still close enough to blue to be used in a professional setting, but not stodgy at all.
But look at the horrible feathering on the swab above. Granted – this was written on a cheap-o index card, but I do all of my swabs on the same cheap-o cards and none (at least to date) stand out quite like this.  
Even on the Hammermill paper, it’s still feathering. 


I used Noodler’s Flex Nib pen. I believe this was my first (maybe second) time using this pen and, I have to be honest, it was not a good experience. Flow from the pen was good, but it just wasn’t what I expected (more on that another time, though).

Oh no..the water test. Yikes! No bueno, hm?   
Love the color. Do not love the performance.  Given that there are so many inks out there that are pretty, pretty and perform well, I won’t buy a full-sized bottle of this one.
So, tell me – have you tried Noodler’s Bad Belted Kingfisher? Do you love it? What does its name mean!
Oh! And November 2 is Fountain Pen Day!  Can’t wait!!
