3952 Old Goat - X888 Walnut Burl Natural Wood Version Raw Brass Two-Tone Calligraphy Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - Walnut Burl (Natural Wood Version). An authentic and refined piece with a perfectly balanced weight for comfortable writing. This model features natural walnut burl wood (non-high-gloss finish), showcasing organic wood grain—each pen is unique and shipped at random. The fountain pen is finished with raw, non-plated brass metal components, a screw-on airtight cap, and a spring-loaded clip design. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) two-tone steel nib, professionally handcrafted by an Old Goat artisan into a calligraphy nib capable of producing distinct, brush-like variations in stroke thickness. It offers excellent tactile feedback, allowing you to create nuanced characters and express your unique personal style. **Included with your purchase: A German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included), a handmade black genuine leather pen sleeve (style selected at random), and a 3952 Old Goat wooden gift box.** Pen dimensions: total length approx. 150mm, pen body and grip section length approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 46g. Regarding the Hand-Ground Calligraphy Nib: 1. It is recommended to start by dipping the nib into ink for your initial writing sessions (please do not remove the installed converter to prevent ink from flowing back into the barrel). Once you have adapted to the nib's characteristics, you may proceed to use the converter for filling. 2. The calligraphy nib is ground from an EF nib into a curved shape. Stroke width variation is achieved through the angle of the pen rather than pressure. A more upright grip results in a finer line due to the smaller contact area, while a lower angle or slight pressure increases the contact area for bolder lines. Mastery comes with practice. (Please note that every nib has a limit to the pressure it can withstand; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a writing mat under your paper is recommended.) To promote environmental sustainability, paper bags are not provided by default. If you require one for gifting, please indicate this in the order notes. Thank you. Images are for reference only; the product is sold as a single pen. Some photos may show slight color variations due to lighting angles; please refer to the actual product. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the interior of the pen body and cap. Do not store the pen with the nib pointing downward for extended periods. Gentle Reminder: Avoid applying excessive pressure to the nib or writing at an extreme angle (e.g., for right-handed users, the nib should point toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to prevent tip misalignment, which may cause scratching or ink flow issues. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and maintain writing quality. Care Tip: The raw, non-plated brass parts will develop a rustic patina over time. To restore the original shine, polish with a cotton cloth and metal polish (maintain the raw brass components as you would any other copper or brass item).
