3952 Old Goat - NARUWAN Walnut Burl High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Calligraphy Titanium Tip Fountain Pen Series

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Goat - Our Beautiful Homeland, a grand and elegant writing instrument. Select Walnut Burl with High-Definition, High-Gloss Craftsmanship Every piece of wood possesses its own unique natural grain and color. Old Goat fountain pens are crafted from select high-quality wood, using meticulous processing and surface treatment to reveal the deep luster and texture of the natural material. High-definition, high-gloss finish is a process that requires attention to procedure and time. During production, a protective transparent lacquer is applied repeatedly, followed by multiple rounds of fine sanding and polishing, allowing the lacquer to fill the natural pores and micro-indentations on the wood surface layer by layer. After dozens of cycles of coating and sanding, a smooth, delicate, and substantial high-gloss surface is formed. This intricate process not only makes the wood’s natural grain clearer and more vivid but also brings out the depth and three-dimensionality of the patterns. The finished barrel exudes a warm, rich luster reminiscent of high-end automotive wood trim, showcasing the unique beauty of natural wood as light dances across it. Beyond visual enhancement, the high-definition, high-gloss surface provides excellent protection for the wooden body, reducing the impact of hand sweat, stains, and ink on the wood and making daily cleaning and maintenance easier. Natural wood grain varies in style, making every pen a unique existence. The high-definition, high-gloss process requires more labor and time, resulting in relatively higher production costs. Old Goat fountain pens persist in using delicate craftsmanship to present the natural beauty of the wood, ensuring each wooden fountain pen is not just a writing tool, but a piece of craftsmanship worthy of careful appreciation. The fountain pen features grey chrome-plated clips and metal fittings, a barrel-shaped threaded airtight cap design, and an exclusively molded clip with a special spring mechanism, making it a delight to handle. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip and the Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Tip. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip uses a German BOCK #250 (#6) standard titanium tip, handcrafted and adjusted by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy tip that can write with the character and rhythm of a brush pen. It offers a unique tactile feel and is more flexible than standard steel nibs. The Old Goat Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Tip (an EF tip ground and adjusted) is a custom nib produced to our specifications by the German manufacturer. Size #250 (#6), it is further hand-crafted and adjusted by Old Goat artisans to write with variations in stroke thickness, evoking the unique charm of brush calligraphy. It is more flexible than the standard calligraphy titanium tip, allowing for a richer range of expression. The nib is engraved with the 3952 Yushan logo, making it a worthy collector's piece. (Offering the ultimate flexibility, this nib is less accessible for beginners and is recommended as an advanced choice for those already experienced with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium tips.) **Included with Purchase: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (no ink included) + one handmade genuine leather pen sleeve (color and style selected at random) + 3952 Old Goat wooden pen box packaging.** Pen dimensions: total length approx. 154mm, barrel plus grip length approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 45g. Hand-polished Calligraphy Nib Adjustments: 1. For the calligraphy nib, it is recommended to practice by dipping in ink first (please do not remove the installed converter to prevent ink from flowing back into the barrel after dipping) to acclimate to the nib's characteristics before using the converter for regular filling. 2. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib ground and adjusted into a curved shape. Creating variations in line width depends not on pressure, but on the angle at which the pen is held, utilizing the curve of the nib tip. A more vertical angle reduces the contact area between the nib and paper, resulting in finer lines. A flatter angle or slight pressure increases the contact area, resulting in thicker lines. Mastery of width comes with practice. (Every nib has a limit to the pressure it can withstand; please avoid excessive pressure to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a desk mat underneath your paper is recommended.) The Specially Tuned Titanium Tip is a custom titanium tip manufactured by our German partner to Old Goat's specifications, featuring the 3952 Yushan logo. Its characteristics are softer and more flexible than standard titanium tips, but it is less easy to control. If pressed too hard, or if the user's technique is lacking, it may cause ink skips. Because the softness of the custom nib often invites the writer to apply more pressure, users lacking experience or familiarity with the nib's characteristics may cause the nib and feed to briefly separate, resulting in an insufficient ink supply to keep up with writing speed. If the holding angle is biased, adding pressure can distort the ink channel, causing poor ink flow. Therefore, this nib is softer, more flexible, and harder to control; it is recommended that you become proficient with steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium tips before advancing to this custom option. To support environmental sustainability, we do not provide paper bags by default. If you require gift wrapping, please note your request when placing your order. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is a single pen. Some photos may show slight color variations due to lighting angles; the actual product shall prevail. Note: Please regularly wipe and maintain the interior of the barrel and cap. When not in use, do not store the pen with the nib pointing downward for extended periods. Gentle Reminder: Do not apply heavy pressure or write at an angle (for right-handed users, it is recommended that the nib points toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to avoid misalignment of the iridium point, which can cause scratching or ink skipping. Clean the nib with water regularly to prevent clogs that affect writing quality.
