One of my favorite variants of this hue!

 

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of their other colors, but KWZ Ink certainly has a handle on their greens.

 

While I prefer KWZ #1 Green Gold to #2, I do agree that you should try it! Mixing equal parts of both gives one a lush, earthy color.

Ink, a drug.

I'll have to try that! :)

Oo, this is nice! But I also love Green Gold #2. I have a sample of it -- Mrs. KWZ kindly sent me samples to share at a Polish Pen Posse and the Madrid Pen Show -- and I have been struggling with not buying ten bottles of ink (I definitely want Brown #4 and (now a list of the samples follows --argh!)).

I need to get to a Warsaw pen meeting when Mr. and Mrs. KWZ are there so I can finally figure out which colors I want (I don't want TOO MANY bottles, is the problem. I suppose it is a nice problem to have.).

 

P.S. Why do I look at KWZ ink reviews? Why?

I'm also having a difficult time not accumulating KWZ inks - every sample I try (within my preferred color ranges), I want a bottle of...

Thanks for the review. This is my first KWZ ink and my early experiences are also very favourable. Now I'm looking forward to trying their IG inks, too.

You will love them. I'm turning into an IG Red #1 addict except for my attraction to IG Turquoise and all those lovely murky regular colors. Sigh...

Thank you for the review. I now have this ink, to add to my growing stockpile of KWZ - six inks so far. The last KWZ I bought was the Iron Gall Red #3 which I like a lot. Where will it end? :rolleyes:

Pens: Conid Kingsize ebonite (x2)
Inks:   KWZ Dark Brown / KWZ IG Orange / Diamine Chocolate / Diamine Burnt Sienna / Diamine Ochre / Monteverde Scotch Brown

I"m another one who has a preference for Green Gold #2, which is brighter and a bit less murky (and also a little more legible than R&K Alt Gold-grün.

Thanks for the review, though.

I look @ the reviews of the KWZ inks because I can discover something ELSE wonderful, like Aztec or El Dorado!

Have this running in a Cross Townsend with Gold medium nib. Lubrication isn't that great, with a lot of hard Starts.

      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
