It's an INK DAY! This time we're looking at Monteverde's Blue Skies ink, a Goulet exclusive (no affiliation). I recently received this with a pen purchase as part of a promotion and it has turned out to be a nice blue.

The ink is available here: gouletpens.com/products/monteverde-blue-skies-30ml-bottled-ink
The pen was a Hongdian M2 reviewed here: youtu.be/6TV7WF_GlYQ
and available here: amzn.to/3wdvnzU
Also mentioned - the Scriveiner Blue ink cartridges: youtu.be/l332G12T6V4
