As some of you may know Poland is one of biggest exporter of cosmetics, furniture and fruits. But we also have inks :)

 

Hopefully more and more inkthusiasts know what the four letters - KWZI - mean. They mean good ink, saturated color. The fruit of the passion.

 

You can check Konrad's site here.

 

Brown 4 is one of relatively new colors. To be honest I don't really like it - it has too much red - for a brown - to my taste.

 

I also have a question to admins - given that KWZI Inks are in stock in two shops (Sakura Pen Gallery and Vanness) can I put reviews of the line in main ink review forum, where we can find reviews of Sailor inks sold in just one shop on planet earth?

Vis, if it's available for sale in either of those stores (or any stores really), put it in reviews. If you are the special tester and it's a test only ink (you have been known to be a fantastic ink tester), then keep it here.

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

Thanks for the review.

Weirdly enough, if you look at it not as a brown, but think of it as a burgundy, it's more appealing. And I normally hate this color. But I kinda like this. Go figure....

OH YEAH!!!!... I am with you buddy!!!! .. We should ask to batch-move all the KWZI threads to the regular Review forum.. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/MSN_Emoticons/MSN-Emoticon-thums-up-059.gif

 

Even if they are not for sale in either store YET!!... The new green from JHerbin has been reviewed to death a whole month before availability in stores... :D :D

 

And BTW... I am LOVING this brown... it seems to jump from the page... I am getting a bottle for sure.. !!! :wub: :wub:

It is an interesting color. It reminds me of the Cherries in "Bounce" . A delicious holiday time "beverage" made with fresh cherries, sugar, and brandy, whiskey or rum. (or other) If you Google "Bounce" you can find Martha Washington's recipie.

 

Oh, right, back to KWZI Brown 4.... I appreciate all the photos provided by Visvamitra very helpful and detailed. Makes it much easier to see how the ink(s) behave - I should add, behaves on the *sample paper* :thumbup:

 

I have never heard of KWZI inks and it was interesting to visit the site to read more about them.

With that said, I think some FPN members may find it useful that the review included where the inks can be purchased.

 

I like the color & enjoy the many shades within the ink. It reminds me of some fun times... :wacko:

Isn't that what our favorite colors should do? Hence, I would enjoy using "Cherry Bounce" Brown 4 :)

This color reminds me of when I was a boy in the '50s and you could go to the soda fountain and order a cherry Coke.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

wow. very nice. i'm not into red inks, but this one is real nice. kinda reminds me of waterman brown with its deep reddish tone. more like brownish maroon. it certainly has more of a brown shade than this baked cherry ink, but pretty close.

Vis, great review as always. Here is KWZI's Marroon and FPN's Dumas. I like these kinds of colors, but find these are not different enough for me to enjoy. (Keep in mind, that I can really love the differences in blues and pinks so I clearly don't enjoy these dark reds and browns as much as I prefer the cooler colors.)

Too red for a brown? Too brown for a red?

I just received a sample of this and I find it stunning!

"Russet" is a useful word!

      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
