Kwzi Foggy Green

Recommended Posts

As we know, KWZ makes excellent ink in Poland and thankfully Cyber6 went to great efforts to let everyone know about this ink, arrange group purchases, and with ink lovers frothing at the mouth to the retailers, Vanness carries these inks in the US. I believe there is also a shop in Belgium as well, but I don't know the name. Other shops in the US have tried to obtain these inks, but Konrad is a very busy professor at university so his time is somewhat limited. You should seriously consider these inks if you haven't already.

 

Foggy Green is a wonderful dark, muted green. Not as dark as Sailor's Miruai if you've tried that one. Foggy Green stays dark green, and only in the shadows does the appearance shift to near black. This is a green that leans a little towards the blue. This is yummy stuff for a murky green lover like me. KWZ Rotten Green is probably more muted, as in neutral/grayed, and leans slightly towards the yellow.

 

The usual papers: Mohawk via Linen=MvL, Tomoe River=TR, Hammermill 28 lb inkjet=Hij.

Not sure if I'd trust this ink if there was a serious spill. But this is considered part of the standard line of KWZ inks, so water resistance is not expected. Relatively easy to clean from pens as a result.

Another fascinating ink droplet.

Thanks for this.

I keep see-sawing with this ink. Sometimes it looks like a must have but at other times it doesn't :huh:

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, I hope, on Sunday.

I have a sample of this ink and after Rotten Green, it is my favorite murky green ink. Really wonderful.

I hope that in future Konrad makes a version of all his inks without that intense odor (I think Honey was made already what means they are working on it, greeeaaat !!!!). KWZ inks are so impressive.

thanks for the review white_lotus.

      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
