3952 Old Goat - X888 Rosewood Rose Gold Steel Tip Series Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - Simple and grand, perfectly balanced, designed for comfortable writing. Carefully selected rosewood (this model is in its raw wood finish, not a high-gloss version; a practical choice for those who appreciate the authentic character of natural wood). Each piece features unique natural grain patterns and is shipped at random. The fountain pen is complemented by grey-chrome plated metal hardware, a screw-on airtight cap, and a spring-loaded clip. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) Rose Gold Steel Tip, professionally hand-ground by an Old Goat artisan into a calligraphic tip capable of producing the distinctive line variation of brush calligraphy. It offers tactile feedback, allowing you to create Chinese characters with expressive thickness variations and showcase your unique personal style. We also offer standard, unmodified straight nibs in four sizes (EF, F, M, B). If your handwriting is small or compact, we recommend the EF (Extra Fine) or F (Fine) nib. If you prefer writing larger characters or are looking for a reliable signature pen, we recommend the M (Medium) or B (Broad) nib. **Included in this set: German SCHMIDT K2 ink converter (no ink included) + one handmade black genuine leather pen sleeve (style selected at random) + 3952 Old Goat premium pen box.** Pen dimensions: total length approx. 150mm, pen body plus grip section approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 47g. Hand-ground calligraphic nib maintenance: 1. For the calligraphic nib, we recommend dipping the pen in ink for writing first (do not remove the installed ink converter to prevent ink from flowing back into the barrel). Once you have adapted to the nib's characteristics, you may then use the converter to draw ink. 2. The calligraphic nib is created by grinding an EF nib into a curved shape. Line variation is achieved not by applying pressure, but through the angle at which the pen is held, utilizing the curve of the tip. Holding the pen more upright results in less surface contact with the paper, producing finer lines. A more slanted angle or slight pressure increases the contact area, resulting in thicker lines. Achieving this variation depends on your proficiency. (Each nib has a limit to the pressure it can withstand; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a writing pad underneath your paper is recommended.) To support environmental conservation, we do not proactively provide paper bags. If you require one for gifting, please leave a note in your order. Thank you. Images are for reference only; the product consists of a single pen. Due to lighting and angles, some photos may show slight color variations; the actual product shall prevail. Note: Please regularly wipe and maintain the interior of the pen body and cap. Do not leave the pen pointing nib-down for extended periods when stored. Friendly reminder: Do not apply heavy pressure or tilt the nib to the left or right when writing (e.g., for right-handed users, the nib should point toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to avoid accidental misalignment of the iridium point, which may cause scratching or ink flow issues. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent dried ink from clogging and affecting writing quality.
