Kwz Ink Walk Over Vistula (Spacer Nad Wisłą)

Recommended Posts

Here we are the last one of the new KWZI Places of Poland trio. I saved my favourite one for the last! Check out my other reviews of Warsaw Memories and Baltic Memories.

These three inks are made partly in response to the demand of sheen. For me I love these inks not because of the sheen, but because they have very good flow and lubrication. It's a joy to write with them.

 

Walk over Vistula is a bright blue ink, with green undertone. It can look similar to Baltic Memories, especially written with a wet pen or a finer nib. If you do a swab, you can see that Vistula is much bluer, while Baltic is greener and has a grey undertone.


As the other two, Vistula dries a bit slowly. If you are putting a lot of the ink on paper, like in drawing or splashing, the dry time could be quite long.

Splash

(With so much ink on paper, it looks extremely similar to Baltic Memories. Compare the splash of Baltic Memories here.)

Sample

(Just like Baltic Memories, it's not water resistant, but it leaves a faint grey line.)

(on Rhodia)

(on Tomoe River, with the other two. See how similar the blues look with a finer nib, but you can tell the difference from the swab.)

Sheen

(My Rhodia paper kind of eats up the sheen. It's more visible on Tomoe River.)

Comparison

(With some other blues and teals. The paper is 80g Clairefontaine copy paper. I should point out that my camera often has trouble picking up these blue green colours. To my eyes the image turns out bluer than what I see.)

Wow beautiful review and ink! I might have to look into the KWZ inks. Is baltic memories just a tad darker then this one?

Edit: A tad darker when written not the swab hahah.

This is so cool! It looks like some awesome nebula or something. Did you do this with bleach?

I have not had issues cleaning this ink, but I also haven't left it in a pen for extended periods of time--probably around a month at maximum.

      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
