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

X888:3952 Old Goat - Walnut Burl (Natural Wood Finish). A rustic, sophisticated, and perfectly balanced fountain pen designed for a comfortable writing experience. Featuring an elegant barrel-shaped cap, a spring-loaded clip, and raw, unplated brass accents. This natural wood model (not a high-gloss finish) highlights the unique grain of each piece (shipped at random, each with distinct wood patterns). Equipped with a secure screw-on cap for airtight performance and a grip section designed for perfect balance. The nib is crafted from a German BOCK #250 (#6) two-tone steel nib, professionally hand-ground by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy nib that allows for expressive, brush-like variation in line thickness. It offers tactile feedback, enabling you to create nuanced Chinese characters and express your unique style. **Included in the set: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included), a black genuine leather pen sleeve hand-stitched by a Taiwanese artisan (style chosen at random), and 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. Hand-ground Calligraphy Nib Instructions: 1. It is recommended to use the dip-writing method first (do not remove the installed converter) to get accustomed to the nib's characteristics before drawing ink through the converter. 2. The calligraphy nib is reground from an EF nib into a curved shape. Line variation is achieved through the angle of the pen rather than by applying pressure. Holding the pen at a steeper angle creates finer lines, while a more slanted angle or slight pressure creates broader strokes. Mastering this depends on practice. Please do not apply excessive force to avoid damaging or misaligning the nib. We suggest writing on a soft writing mat. To support environmental protection, we do not provide paper bags by default. Please specify in the order notes if you require gift packaging. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is a single pen. Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting; please refer to the actual product. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the interior of the pen body and cap. Do not store the pen with the nib facing down for long periods. Gentle Reminder: Avoid applying heavy pressure or writing at an extreme tilt. For right-handed users, it is recommended to keep the nib pointed towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position to prevent misalignment of the tipping material, which could cause scratching or ink flow issues. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent clogging. Care Tip: The raw, unplated brass components will develop a rustic patina over time. To restore their shine, polish them with a soft cloth dipped in brass polish (maintain these parts just as you would other brass items).
