3952 Old Mountain Goat - NARUWAN Golden Camphor High-Gloss Edition Flexible Calligraphy Nib Fountain Pen

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Mountain Goat - Our Beautiful Homeland, Grand and Elegant Writing Model. Features carefully selected Golden Camphor wood with a high-definition, high-gloss surface treatment. This meticulous process involves repeatedly applying and polishing clear lacquer until the natural pores of the wood grain are filled, often requiring dozens of cycles. The high-definition, high-gloss finish creates a smoother surface, enhancing the writing experience with a more tactile feel and making the exquisite wood grain appear more three-dimensional and distinct. This treatment also makes the pen easier to maintain, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink stains. However, this advanced technique incurs higher production costs. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes offer unique aesthetic appeals, catering to different tastes. The Old Mountain Goat fountain pen is proudly presented to you, with sincere gratitude for your support. The high-definition, high-gloss finish emulates the lustrous sheen of premium wood trim in luxury cars, so polished it's mirror-like and feels exceptionally substantial in hand. While many pens on the market feature simple polishing or waxing, this in-depth treatment is exceptionally rare (natural wood grain, quality product shipped randomly). The pen is complemented by gunmetal gray electroplated clip and fittings, a barrel-shaped, airtight screw-on cap design, and a uniquely molded clip with a special spring mechanism, offering a delightful tactile experience. The nib is a modified German JoWo #6 (WIN #12) flexible steel nib (EF tip), meticulously hand-ground and adjusted by Old Mountain Goat artisans into a flexible calligraphy nib capable of producing varied line widths. It allows for a unique expressive quality akin to Chinese calligraphy brushes, offering a distinct feel, exceptional durability, and ease of use, making it an ideal entry-level choice for beginners exploring calligraphy nibs. **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (ink not included) + a handmade black genuine leather pen case by a Taiwanese master craftsman (style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Mountain Goat wooden pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approximately 154mm, barrel including grip section approximately 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approximately 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approximately 43g. Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to start by dipping the nib in ink for writing (do not remove the converter installed in the barrel; this prevents ink from flowing back into the pen body after dipping). After a period of use, transition to using the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is crafted by grinding and adjusting an EF tip to create a curved nib that produces varying line widths not solely through pressure, but by the angle at which the pen is held. By utilizing the nib's curvature, line variation is achieved. Holding the pen more upright, with less contact area between the nib and paper, results in finer lines. Tilting the pen at a greater angle or applying slight pressure increases the contact area, yielding broader strokes. The ability to write with varying line widths depends on your skill. (Each nib has a certain pressure tolerance; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. It is advisable to use a writing pad underneath your paper.) Images are for reference only. This product is sold individually. Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product is the definitive item. Note: For maintenance, regularly wipe the interior of the barrel and cap. When storing the pen, avoid prolonged downward storage with the nib facing down. Friendly Reminder: When writing, avoid excessive pressure and ensure the nib is not angled excessively to the left or right. For right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the nib at approximately the 10 or 11 o'clock position to prevent scratching or ink flow issues due to misalignment. Regularly rinse the nib with clean water to prevent ink buildup and clogging, which can affect writing quality. Friendly Reminder: Flexible calligraphy nibs have a degree of pressure tolerance. Begin with light strokes and gradually increase pressure to test the nib's flexibility. Avoid applying indiscriminate or excessive force, which can lead to nib damage or misalignment.
