Choosing between fountain pen inks is less about finding one universal winner and more about matching the named color to your next writing project. Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil and Troublemaker Abalone are both new ink samples in 3mL mini plastic bottles, but they differ in ink-color name, listed price, and one origin detail. The useful question is whether you want Sesame Oil, Abalone, or simply the lower-priced way to try one color.
Quick verdict
The practical decision starts with the named color. Choose Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil if Sesame Oil is the target, or Troublemaker Abalone if Abalone is the shade you want to explore. When either color could work, use the listed-price comparison as a simple tie-breaker.

Where each ink wins
- Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil: The title gives a precise color-name match for shoppers specifically seeking Sesame Oil. That makes it the clearer choice when the color label, rather than a general interest in trying ink, drives the purchase.
- Troublemaker Abalone: The title directly matches Abalone, and the product information gives Canada as its country of origin. That extra origin detail may matter to shoppers who include origin in their selection criteria.
- Shared ground: Both are listed as new ink, so condition and material do not separate the two. The meaningful choice is the color name, followed by the price comparison.
Product notes
Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil
The reason to choose Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil is clear: the title names Sesame Oil, making it a direct match when that is the ink color you want to sample. It is listed as new and as ink, and it comes in a 3mL mini plastic bottle for a small-format trial. The limitation is visual certainty: actual color may vary slightly because of lighting and screen differences, which matters when a purchase is guided by a named shade. Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil therefore suits a shopper who already wants Sesame Oil and can treat the sample as an exploration of that color rather than a guarantee that an on-screen representation will look identical in person.
Troublemaker Abalone
Troublemaker Abalone earns its place when Abalone is the color you want to explore. The title makes that choice explicit, while the item is new ink with Canada given as its country of origin. Those details make it a straightforward pick for a color-led purchase or for someone who cares about origin as part of the selection. Its limitation is the listed format: a 3mL mini plastic bottle is a sample-sized presentation, so it is not the right description for someone specifically seeking a larger bottle. Lighting and screen differences can also slightly change how the color appears, so the displayed shade should be treated as an approximation.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Lennon Tool Bar Sesame Oil if your priority is the Sesame Oil color name and you want the sample that matches that request.
- Choose Troublemaker Abalone if Abalone is the target color or Canada as the country of origin is relevant to your decision.
- If color is flexible and price is the deciding factor, choose Troublemaker Abalone: the table shows USD 3.69 versus USD 3.99, a $0.30 spread.
- If visual color matching is especially important, either choice deserves the same caution about lighting and screen differences. In that case, decide between the Sesame Oil and Abalone names first, then let price settle the tie.
