3952 Old Mountain Goat - NARUWAN Rosewood Spring Steel Nib Series Fountain Pen

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Mountain Goat - Our Beautiful Homeland, a Grand and Elegant Writing Piece. This model features a meticulously crafted rosewood body (this is the original wood version, not the high-definition glossy finish; an affordable choice for those who appreciate the natural charm of raw wood). The grain patterns are natural and will vary, with items shipped randomly. The fountain pen is accented with gunmetal chrome-plated clip and metal fittings. It boasts a barrel-shaped, rotating, airtight cap design and a uniquely molded clip with a special spring mechanism, making it a delight to hold and use. This pen is available with two nib options: the modified spring steel tip (Queyue knife) and the spring steel calligraphy tip, both ground from a flexible steel nib. The Queyue knife is crafted by the artisans at Old Mountain Goat, meticulously grinding and adjusting a German JoWo #6 (WIN #12) flexible steel nib (F nib) into a blade-like tip. This allows for subtle variations in line width, offering a more elastic writing feel than standard ground nibs, with a unique tactile sensation that is durable, pressure-resistant, and easy to master. The spring steel calligraphy tip is created by Old Mountain Goat artisans, manually shaping and adjusting a German JoWo #6 (WIN #12) flexible steel nib (EF nib) to produce variable line widths, reminiscent of traditional brushwork. It offers a distinct writing experience that is durable, pressure-resistant, and easy for beginners to use, making it an ideal entry-level calligraphy nib. **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + one handmade black genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese master craftsman (style shipped randomly) + special 3952 Old Mountain Goat presentation box.** Dimensions: Body diameter 14.5mm, 144mm length when capped, 127mm barrel length including nib, cap diameter 14.5mm, cap length 64mm, total weight approximately 44 grams, overall length 150mm. Hand-adjusted Calligraphy Nib Care: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it's generally recommended to first dip the nib in ink and allow it to break in for a period before using a converter. 2. If experiencing ink flow issues with a converter, check the angle of your grip. Ensure both iridium points simultaneously touch the paper; avoid writing on one side only. If ink flow issues persist, check the nib for paper fibers or debris. 3. Try filling ink directly using the converter removed, to test the ink flow. 4. Rinse the nib thoroughly with water. If the iridium points are uneven or writing is forced to one side, excessive pressure can lead to misalignment, creating unevenness that scrapes the paper and traps debris in the slit. 5. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib adjusted to have a curvature. Line width variation is achieved not by pressing the nib, but by the angle of the pen and utilizing the nib's curvature. Holding the pen more upright reduces the contact area with the paper, resulting in finer lines. As the pen angle becomes more oblique, the contact area increases, producing broader strokes. The ability to write both fine and broad lines depends on your skill and practice. In support of environmental protection, we do not provide paper bags by default.

Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. When storing, avoid prolonged downward storage with the nib facing down. Gentle Reminder: When writing, avoid pressing down or writing off-center (for right-handed users, aim for the nib to point towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This prevents accidental misalignment of the iridium points, which can cause paper scratching and ink flow interruption. Regularly rinse the nib with clean water to prevent ink blockage and maintain writing quality. Gentle Reminder: The spring steel tip has a certain degree of pressure tolerance. Begin writing with a light touch, gradually increasing pressure to test the nib's flexibility. Downward pressure can slightly spread the nib. For horizontal strokes, use a light touch. Avoid arbitrary or excessive pressure to prevent nib damage or misalignment. Gentle Reminder: The spring steel calligraphy tip also has a certain degree of pressure tolerance. Begin writing with a light touch, gradually increasing pressure to test the nib's flexibility. Avoid arbitrary or excessive pressure to prevent nib damage or misalignment.
