3952 Old Mountain Goat - X888 Walnut Burl HD High Gloss Edition Calligraphy Titanium Nib Series Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Mountain Goat - Walnut Burl (HD High Gloss Finish), Simple and Elegant, Perfect Balance, Comfortable Writing Model. An elegant barrel-shaped cap with a flexible clip mechanism, grey chrome electroplated metal accessories, and a high-definition, high-gloss walnut burl finish. Premium wood deserves high-end treatment – this finish is easy to maintain, resistant to ink and hand sweat, and enhances the wood grain's three-dimensionality. Natural wood grain (each pen features unique grain; high-quality product selected randomly). (The HD High Gloss finish involves multiple layers of transparent lacquer and polishing, repeated until the natural pores of the wood grain are filled. This meticulous process, involving dozens of repeated applications and polishing, results in a smoother surface, a more tactile writing experience, and more vivid, clearly visible wood grain. The finish also makes maintenance easier, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink stains. This technique incurs a higher cost. Both HD High Gloss and standard finishes have their own charm, catering to different tastes. Old Mountain Goat Fountain Pens are sincerely introduced for your appreciation and support.) Screw-in, airtight cap with a perfectly balanced grip design for a simple, elegant, and comfortable writing experience. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib and the Custom Calligraphy Titanium Nib. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib uses a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib, handcrafted and adjusted by Old Mountain Goat artisans to produce line variations reminiscent of traditional Chinese brush calligraphy, offering a unique tactile feel and more flexibility than standard steel nibs. The Old Mountain Goat Custom Calligraphy Titanium Nib (ground from an EF nib) is specially commissioned from the German manufacturer with the model number #250 (#6). It is then meticulously handcrafted by Old Mountain Goat artisans to create a calligraphy nib capable of producing expressive line variations with a unique brush-like character. Compared to the standard version, this nib offers greater flexibility, allowing for richer strokes. It is engraved with the 3952 Yushan distinctive logo, making it a collector's item. (This nib offers the best flexibility but may be challenging for beginners; recommended for those experienced with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium nibs as an advanced option.) **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (ink not included) + a handcrafted genuine leather pen sleeve made by a Taiwanese master craftsman (color and style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Mountain Goat wooden gift box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approximately 150mm, barrel plus grip length approximately 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approximately 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approximately 48g. Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to first dip the nib in ink to write (do not remove the converter installed in the barrel; this prevents ink from flowing back into the pen body after writing). After a period of use, allowing the nib to adapt, use the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is ground from an EF nib, shaped into a curved tip that produces line variations not solely through pressure, but by adjusting the pen's angle. By holding the pen more upright, the contact area between the nib and paper is smaller, resulting in finer lines. As the pen angle becomes more oblique or with slight pressure, the contact area increases, producing thicker lines. The ability to write with varying line widths depends on your proficiency (each nib has a certain tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. It is recommended to place a writing mat under the paper when writing). The Custom Titanium Nib is a special titanium nib requested by Old Mountain Goat from the German manufacturer, engraved with the 3952 Yushan logo. Its tuning is softer and more elastic than standard titanium nibs but requires more skillful handling. The custom nib's soft and elastic nature can lead to ink flow interruption if not handled with proper technique. If the user's grip angle is off, combined with pressure, it can distort the ink channel, hindering consistent ink supply and causing skipping. Therefore, this nib is more elastic and less forgiving. It is recommended to first gain proficiency with steel nibs or standard titanium nibs before advancing to the custom titanium nib. In response to environmental concerns, paper bags are not provided by default. If you require one for gifting, please specify this in your order notes after purchase. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is sold individually. Some photos may have slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the pen body and cap interior. When storing, do not let the nib point downwards for extended periods. Gentle Reminder: Avoid pressing down on the nib or writing at an extreme angle (for right-handed users, the nib tip should ideally point towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This helps prevent accidental displacement of the iridium tip, which can cause scratching or ink flow issues. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and blockages that may affect writing quality.
