Stunning
This is absolutely the most amazing bottle design! Also, the shocking blue is a beautiful every day color. I’m not seeing a lot of shading, but still a great color. Also a massive amount of ink. I’m very pleased
This 60ml bottle of Akkerman #05 Shocking Blue fountain pen ink is a rich, deep shade of blue, and the packaging is very distinctive. The ink bottle fills by tipping the bottle upside down so that ink flows from the large bottom section, into a small upper section. When you tip the bottle back up, a small marble rests in the neck of the bottle to divide the two sections. Each color is named for a location in The Hague.

Very nice clearly blue ink, perfect for work. The ingenious bottle lets you easily fill pens even when bottle is low. Main con is the price.
Love the nice rich blue color and the shading especially as it drys. It has become my everyday ink.
I have been trying to get a bottle of Akkerman Shocking Blue for a while now, but it is always sold out when I try. I was lucky enough to FINALLY score a bottle of this ink while it was briefly in stock, and couldn't be happier. A great blue with some interesting characteristics all packaged in a cool and unique little bottle. It has replaced Chesterfield Antique Yankee (R.I.P.) as my everyday blue.
I had excellent service from a very kind staff member.
Such a beautifully deep blue ink! I'm using this ink in my vintage Waterman pens that all have a good bit of flex on them and when they dump ink on the paper the ink comes out really beautifully dark, almost black! However, depending on the speed of the lines the color gets a bit of variation which is really quite beautiful!
This is my new favorite ink. The red sheen is awesome and shifts with the light angle. The effect requires a wet nib. I use a 1.1 stub with this ink. Fun to write with.
This is my first Akkerman ink, and I love it. I expected a bright, shocking blue, but this is a deep and beautifully shading ink. The bottles are, as many know, fabulous. I will be buying more Akkerman!
