This is the third Kwz Ink that I have tried, after IG Gold and IG Blue #6. This one is a more normal ink and doesn't belong to Konrad's IG line. What it has in common with the other two, though, is the quality, at least as I perceive it.

 

This is a beautifully saturated, rich color, with great flow, a very reasonable dry time, some water resistance, no bleed through or feathering even on cheap paper, moderate to very good shading depending on the paper, and even a little bit of a lovely silvery sheen on Tomoe River. I think that chromatically wise, this one is comparable to Montblanc Burgundy Red, although more vivid in color and several times more wet and better behaved.

 

For those of you who, like me, appreciate a good and rich dark red, I highly recommend you to try out this fantastic ink.

nice...

can you show the blow up image of writing sample please...

 

+1 on that. When I tried to click on the link I got some sort of "Imageshack" link, and then a pop-up for a Verizon survey instead. :(

So that's not my imagination! This is a great color and the ink is very well-behaved; been using it on an almost daily basis since it arrived.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

On the page with the Imageshack links, press the black bar under them that says "Download image". That got me the image which I could then open and enlarge.

Sorry guys, I have been a bit busy lately and not spending much time in here. I use the imageshack to avoid overloading our beloved forum with precious space. Did you managed to see it?

 

@Chromantic, did you get a glimpse of that lovely silvery sheen as well?

Indeed, yes. On the small BnR spiral, the sheen is quite pronounced, not Oku-yama heavy but pretty thick (and without affecting the color). Compared to the patently silver sheen of Grapefruit, it looks more gold to me.

      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
