Noodler's Midway Blue Ink

Noodler's Midway Blue is a vibrant, oceanic mid-blue fountain pen ink. While not necessarily a shading ink, you will notice some modest shading in a wider nib. It is also fairly quick-drying, and comes presented in a 3oz (approximately 90ml) glass bottle.

The V-Mail series is named after Victory Mail, the hybrid mail process used during the World War 2 in America as the primary secure method of correspondence with soldiers. This ink series aims to replicate the traditional vintage ink characteristics. 'Midway Blue' is named after the Battle of Midway, a crucial and decisive battle in the Pacific Theatre of World War 2.

Noodler's Ink is a small American company run by Nathan Tardif in Southern Massachusetts, USA. The Noodler's Ink Co. is best known for their massive range of colours, the unique and largely hand drawn bottle label artwork and unique properties of their inks. Nathan Tardif is best known for his political views and historical knowledge, which often spills over into the names and labels of his inks.

The name Noodler's comes from a technique of catching catfish by hand. Noodling involves wading into the water and feeling around for small crevasses and catching the catfish who have backed themselves inside by holding onto the outside edges of their open mouth. Nathan says it is the ultimate battle between man and beast and your bank balance and social standing have no bearing on your ability. The catfish can be seen on all the ink bottles packaging.
