3952 Laoshanyan - NARUWAN Walnut Burl High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Calligraphy Titanium Nib Series Fountain Pen

NARUWAN: 3952 Laoshanyan - Our Beautiful Homeland, An Elegant and Grand Writing Piece. Carefully selected walnut burl, treated with a high-definition, high-gloss finish. This process involves repeatedly applying transparent lacquer and polishing until the wood's natural pores are completely filled, often requiring dozens of applications over time. The high-definition, high-gloss finish results in a smoother surface, enhancing the tactile experience of writing and making the exquisite wood grain more three-dimensional and visible. It also simplifies maintenance, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink stains. However, this meticulous process incurs a higher cost. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes have their unique charm, catering to different tastes. Laoshanyan Fountain Pens proudly presents this collection, with gratitude for your support. The high-definition, high-gloss finish offers a lustrous sheen akin to the wood trim in luxury cars, reflecting light beautifully and providing a substantial, premium feel in hand. Unlike typical market finishes that merely polish or wax, this intensive treatment is exceptionally rare (natural grain, quality product shipped at random). The fountain pen is complemented by gunmetal gray plated metal clip accents and a barrel-shaped, airtight rotating cap design. It features an exclusively molded clip with a unique spring mechanism, making it a joy to handle and admire. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib and the Special Blend Calligraphy Titanium Nib. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib utilizes the German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib. Laoshanyan artisans have hand-crafted and adjusted it to produce a calligraphy nib capable of varying line widths, evoking the artistry of traditional brushwork. It offers a distinct tactile feel and greater flexibility than standard steel nibs. The Laoshanyan Special Blend Calligraphy Titanium Nib (ground and adjusted from an EF nib) is a custom nib specially requested from the German manufacturer, model #250 (#6). Laoshanyan artisans have meticulously hand-crafted and adjusted it to create a calligraphy nib that allows for expressive line width variations, capturing a unique brushstroke aesthetic. Compared to the standard calligraphy titanium nib, it offers enhanced flexibility, enabling a richer range of strokes. The nib is engraved with the distinctive 3952 Yushan logo, making it a treasured collectible. (Possessing the ultimate flexibility, it may present a steeper learning curve for beginners. Recommended for pen enthusiasts who have experience with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium nibs as an advanced option). **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (ink not included) + one hand-stitched genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese artisan (color and style shipped at random) + 3952 Laoshanyan wooden pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approximately 154mm, barrel and grip section approximately 105mm, maximum diameter approximately 17mm (excluding clip), total weight approximately 45g (excluding nib). Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to start by dipping the nib in ink for writing (leave the converter installed in the barrel; do not remove it, to prevent ink from flowing back into the pen body after writing). This allows the nib to acclimate to your writing style. After some use, you may then use the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is ground and adjusted from an EF nib, creating a curved tip that achieves line width variation not solely through pressure, but by the angle of the pen. Holding the pen more upright minimizes the contact area between the nib and paper, resulting in finer lines. As the pen angle becomes more oblique or with slight pressure, the contact area increases, producing broader lines. The ability to write thick or thin lines depends on your proficiency (each nib has a certain tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent nib damage or misalignment. It is recommended to place a writing mat under the paper while writing). The Special Blend Titanium Nib is a custom titanium nib requested from the German manufacturer, featuring the 3952 Yushan LOGO imprint. Its tuning is softer and more flexible than standard titanium nibs, but it is less forgiving in handling. The Special Blend nib's soft flexibility can easily tempt users to apply pressure. If the user's technique is not adept or they haven't familiarized themselves with the Special Blend's characteristics, it can lead to a temporary separation between the nib and feed, causing ink flow interruptions that disrupt the writing speed. If the user's grip angle is off, combined with applying pressure, it can distort the ink channel and hinder ink flow. Therefore, this model is more flexible and challenging to control. It is recommended to gain proficiency with steel nibs or standard titanium nibs before advancing to the Special Blend nib.

Images are for reference only. The product is sold individually. Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the interior of the pen body and cap. When storing the pen upright, do not point the nib downwards for extended periods. Warm Reminder: Avoid pressing down on the nib or writing with the nib angled excessively to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the pen so the nib points towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This prevents accidental iridium point misalignment, which can cause scratching and ink flow issues. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and blockages that may affect writing quality.
