This review is a mistake: The writing sample is KWZI Azure #4, NOT KWZI Turquoise. Sorry...

 

Such a lovely turquoise. It's much darker than other turquoises out there like JH Bleu pervenche, R&K Blu Mare, etc. It doesn't lean to green very much, which I like.

Interesting, your ink seems much darker than mine, which seems more of a turquoise. And mine is definitely lighter than Souten.

Thanks for the review. When it comes to turquoise, I like darker shades like this.

 

What ink are you using for the ink names on the comparison page?

Thank you.

 

. . . Wait till you try the IG Turquoise :)

 

(Let me know if you'd like some)

 

 

I actually didn't like IG Turquoise all that much -- it oxidized a bit greener than I cared for. Okay, I think I might have had really high expectations, because I was hoping for a more easily available replacement for member Pharmacist's Turkish Night.

I have a bottle of the regular KWZI Turquoise, but haven't tried it yet.

It's not my colour either but I did enjoy using it.

 

I have that. Actually I have a review of it already.

 

Oh yeah. Sorry.

Not a fan of the hue, but I remember enjoying this one quite a bit.

Oh my, I'm so sorry guys... I made a mistake. This is NOT KWZI Turquoise. This is actually Azure #4... I mixed up the samples. The splash is indeed Turquoise but the writing sample is Azure #4.

Can a mod please delete this review for 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
