King Konrad's Old Gold

 

Dear FPN Friends....

 

I recently received a whole bunch of ink samples from Konrad Polish Ink King*

 

Ink King is not a wrongly spelledverb about a man from Polandfilling up his Fountain Pen

 

It directs to the utterly friendly Polish (soon to be Dr in Chemistry) Konrad of KWZI inks... As I understand from that other great Polish Man you allmight Know... Visamitra (check out his very cool reviews :excl: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/user/92134-visvamitra/ :excl: )

making ink for Konrad is only a hobby now.

 

Some of you might know that I m a great fan of De Atramentis.... I even give D-A reviews an own Tag...Lovely Liquids....

 

Well I have written with some of the excellent KWZI inks.... They disserve an own label too....

KWZI Polish Treasures..... (will tag my future KWZI reviews with this label)

 

Why Is that???? Checkmy first KWZI review down here

 

KWZI OLD GOLD

Colour

Old Gold.... Greenish with a golden Hue. It reminds me a bit of J. Herbin's Olive Green... JUst that the colouris much deeper much richer and more er.... goldish :)

Being spastic fantastic with a drop of ink on paper....

 

 

Down here are some of the technical specs (as suggested by Ann Finley 2007)

(not copied in but for this ink)

points 1-5 1 = :( 5= :)

Fountain Pens: Kaweco Calligrapy 1,1 and 1,4

Paper: Leonardo Ringbuch,average quality school note book made in Austria

Drying time: Faster enough under 10 seconds in 1.1 nib points 4

Flow: very smooth even in both the cheap and potentally scratchy Italic points: 5

Lubrication: medium wet points: 4

Feathering : None points 5

Bleeding: nada points 5

Shading: AWESOME :yikes: points: 3

Waterproof: Survives a good drop points: 3

Package: Can't judge (test sample)

Availabilty: This can be a bit of a problem I belive it is only available at King Konrad's Castle... Here is his profile...write him an E-mail... https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/user/73443-kwzi/

For the Sake of Humanity I hop e that these inks will be available all over the world and it's surroundings ;) Maybe I write the Always friendly Rik and Dennis of http://la.couronneducomte.nl an E-mail..... They are always willing to help us FPN-ers :thumbup: Rik told me no problem what you need we can almost always order it :thumbup:

AWESOME SHADING :D

Too Conclude

This ink is very well behavig. Look at that shading and the lovely colours... I have already tested KWZI Hunter Green.... It is just as awesome...the review will be here soon...

If You love Hip Hop.... You love Dr Dre?

If you love inks....

You love Dr. J.... (Dr Jansen De Atramentis)....

AND the Polish Ink King whose name starts with a K (Konrad with a K like in KWZI) :wub:

Regards,

Peter

Interesting color. Not sure it's to my taste, but it's definitely interesting -- is it an iron gall ink or one of Konrad's regular ones?

Thanks for the review. And I quite agree that his inks (at least the ones I've tried so far) are pretty awesome. I have four more on order and a couple that I also want to try.

Huh, my bottle seems hardly green, mostly yellowish brown.

 

This looks like it could be somewhere in between KWZI's Green Gold and Old Gold.

King Konrad's Old Gold

 

 

 

I am sorry Peter. I believe this is Konrad's Iron Gall Gold or KWZI #83. (Unless the scanned picture is not correct)

 

 

KWZI #57 is Old Gold, which is a standard ink, not Iron Gall and does not get as dark as appear to have black shading.

 

 

Great Review. If you want to check more of his inks, follow my link in my signature. ;)

Wonderful review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
