Ink Review #496: KWZ Standard Walks Over Vistula

Today I will be reviewing KWZ Standard Walks Over Vistula, a medium turquoise.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and high red sheen. The color is a very well-saturated blue that ranges from turquoise to medium blue.

I found this ink to have a wet, even flow. I did not experience any hard starts or skips. The color had great shading in my Pilot <M> nib and would work well in broad or flex nibs. The ink did have a faint vanilla smell that was not too overpowering.

Overall: I felt that this ink behaved well. It’s not up my alley in terms of blue hues, but if you like sheening/shading inks I would recommend trying a sample.
