Kwzi - Full List May 2015

Recommended Posts

Oh man. I *already* wanted Honey. And now you're telling me it SHEENS? :drool:

You people are Just Evil. My husband is convinced of this -- he has stopped telling people I have a pen collection, in favor of telling them I have an ink collection....

Of course you do understand that I'm calling you evil in the nicest way possible, right? :D

That's "evOL" like LOVE right?

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

looking at the table and color swabs i can't seem to find the color names for swab 18 & 19.

I think those were Violet #5 and Violet #6. They may have been phased out.

So sorry... not a big suspense. The second part of 2015 was quite busy for our ink Master (and future ink Mistress) :D :D Lots of work to complete his PhD and keep KWZI fresh and current.

 

  • You now can find KWZI at Vanness (USA) and Sakura (Belgium) and there are at least a couple of Canadian retailers carrying KWZI at the moment.
  • KWZI featured an exclusive ink for the the Toronto Pen Show - Scriptus 2015 - MAPLE RED !!... It was sold out in less than an hour (approx 40 minutes) B)
  • There is a gorgeous Azure #6 and Azure#7 (don't have a sample of that one)...
  • There is a Brown 3 (listed in May) which I now have a sample to post
  • A new gorgeous Pink... called Raspberry. :wub:

 

I will post samples as soon as I get some time...

Cyber6 congratulations on your future move to Poland!

 

And becoming an ink mistress as well! Though I kind of already thought you had attained that status already. :happycloud9:

Part of the problem is the confused names of these inks. I have seen at least three naming conventions since I started following KWZI, and it can be very difficult to tell whether an ink is new, renamed, or discontinued. There should be separate lists for the different types of inks, and former designations of each ink should be included for the benefit of those who want to buy more of the same ink they have, but can't figure out what it's called now. Discontinued inks should be listed as well, in case someone wants to petition for a reinstatement. Konrad makes fantastic inks, but it would make buying them much easier if they were described in an organized manner.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I agree, but those are growing pains, I guess. Some of his ink names in Polish are actually really awesome, and some have a cute cultural reference, but they're inconsistent. Someone should persuade him to rename all of his inks in English, with marketable names. I think it would go a long way toward growth.

+1. Agreed. To me, the names Azure #3, Azure #4, Azure #5 etc are very confusing because they say nothing about how these inks are different. Yes a swab is shown, but that's never very helpful for me, as I much prefer to see some writing.

 

Actually Polish ink names wouldn't be bad. Akermann ink names are Dutch.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
