KWZ Thief’s Red. This red ink has been an absolute pleasure to use. Thief’s Red is vibrant and attractive in color, easy flowing and quick to clean from a pen.

Ink Snippet: J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre
This is only my second day with J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre, but so far I really like it. It’s a nice soft brown, with a color that reminds me of cocoa powder. The golden particles are there, but they are subtle. Caroube de Chypre may suggest an older penny, but not a shiny new one.

Ink Review: Diamine Gerbera
Diamine Gerbera. This is an interesting and attractive orange ink from Diamine’s Flower Set, which looked so different in the two pens I tested it in that I am tempted to dramatically subhead this review A Tale of Two Pens.
Admittedly Diamine Gerbera isn’t really “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” It’s too nice an ink for that. And I’m from the Midwestern US, which is like being from Canada; we’re not that dramatic
But A Tale of Two Cities is slightly more exciting than the average ink review, what with the Reign of Terror going on, tumbrils rolling through the cobbled streets of Paris, and heads rolling into baskets. Heck, that’s the sort of atmosphere and tone that would liven up any ink discussion.

Ink Review: KWZ Iron Gall Green #2
KWZ Iron Gall Green #2. This is a forest green ink from KWZ that cleans up easily, shades nicely and performs very well on poor paper. It’s very similar to KWZ Iron Gall Green #1, but warmer in color.
