In this video, I show you the 5 additional fountain pens and inks I'll be writing with for July. That brings me to 13 fountain pens and inks for July. Lots of fun is being had ... comparing blue black inks, getting into ink samples and dusty boxes of ink ... finally getting a chance to try out some "new to me" inks. That's what summer is for right!!!?
Here's a list of the pens and inks shown:
1. TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple M with Birmingham Fortune Teller
2. TWSBI Eco Clear M with Birmingham Butcher's Broom
3. Jinhao 82 Ivory B Goulet with Birmingham Pollen
4. TWSBI Eco Indigo/Bronze M with Pilot Namiki Blue Black
5. TWSBI Diamond 580 AL Clear M with Lamy (Crystal) Benitoite
Thank you so much for watching ... my first 8 July pens are shown in my Chris' Inked Pens video here: youtube.com/watch?v=h2uIfLOhy7o&t=5s

![Channel Trailer - Season 6 - 2023
In this 3 minute video, I talk about plans for this year and what you can expect video wise from me! [Ha! this is a long overdue update to the channel trailer I last made 3 years ago and will give newcomers here a clear picture of what to expect content wise!] The major emphasis for the channel this year is school/student/child friendly fountain pen reports and explorations! I will also continue with my Chris Inked Pens monthly and the follow on Progress Report each month. In addition to that, I typically upload first impressions videos and/or reviews when I find something that I really think is just great within the hobby and want to share it with you!
Thank you to everyone who stops by here! I really appreciate all your support over the years! Its hard to believe this is our 6th season we celebrated the 5 year channel anniversary in September of 2022.
This channel is like a virtual pen club to me and I am so grateful to have people like you who like to stop in and talk about pens, inks, and all things related to the hobby + quite often cats + books as well!!!! I feel we are all very blessed to have this nice community of pen friends to share the best hobby ever with! Thank you for all youve contributed - comments, subscribing, emails, letters, pens, inks, samples, notebooks, cases, ... and many more things ... ! I keep it pretty simple - but hopefully still communicate helpful and/or fun things.
Check out the awesome ink comparison website (Ink Swatch) that Matt put together for everyone to enjoy and thank you to everyone who has contributed swatch tiles for this!!!!
