19810 Hawthorne's Scarlet m/Gratis FP

That 4.5 oz bottle is a serious amount of ink—I'll be set for months. The scarlet shade deepens nicely on the page without feathering on my cheap notebook, and the included pen handled it well enough for daily use.

The free pen writes smoothly right out of the box, and the ink’s deep scarlet shade lives up to its name. I’ll be working through this 4.5 oz bottle for a long time, which is exactly what I wanted.

That 4.5 oz bottle is genuinely massive for the price, and the free pen writes smoothly enough that I've been using it daily for notes. The ink flows well and dries without smudging on my cheap paper.
