3952 Old Goat - X888 Walnut Burl Raw Wood Version Original Brass Dual-Tone Calligraphy Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - Walnut Burl (Raw Wood Version), Rustic and Elegant, Perfect Balance, Comfortable Writing. Features an elegantly styled barrel with a wine-barrel shape, a flexible clip design, and original brass (unplated) metal accents. This is a raw wood version of walnut burl (not a high-definition, high-gloss finish), showcasing natural wood grain (each pen possesses a unique grain, and will be shipped randomly from a curated selection). It has a threaded, airtight cap, a perfectly balanced grip section, and offers a rustic, elegant, and comfortable writing experience. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) dual-tone steel nib, expertly handcrafted by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy nib capable of producing strokes with distinct variations in thickness, reminiscent of a brush pen. It provides a responsive feel, allowing for nuanced character strokes that express your unique taste. Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approximately 150mm, body plus grip section approximately 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approximately 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approximately 46g. Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For initial use, it is recommended to dip the nib in ink and write (leave the converter installed inside the pen body; do not remove it, to prevent ink from flowing back into the pen body after dipping). Write for a period to allow the nib to acclimate to your writing style, then switch to using the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib that has been ground and adjusted to have a curved tip. Line variation is achieved not by pressing down, but by the angle at which you hold the pen, utilizing the curvature of the nib's front section to create varying line widths. Holding the pen more upright with less contact area on the paper will result in finer lines. A more slanted angle or slight pressure increases the contact area with the paper, producing thicker lines. The ability to write with varying thickness depends on your proficiency (each nib has a tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. It is advisable to place a writing pad under your paper for a smoother experience). In support of environmental conservation, we do not automatically provide paper bags. If a gift bag is required, please specify this in the notes section after placing your order. Thank you. Images are for reference only. This product is sold individually. Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product is the final reference. Note: For maintenance, frequently wipe and care for the interior of the pen body and cap. When storing, please avoid leaving the nib pointing downwards for extended periods. Warm Reminder: Avoid pressing down on the nib or writing with it skewed to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the pen with the nib pointing towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This helps prevent accidental displacement of the iridium tip, which can lead to 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. Helpful Tip: The unplated original brass sections may develop a natural patina, lending a rustic charm. If you wish to restore their bright, polished finish, use a cotton cloth dampened with brass polish to clean them (the maintenance for the original brass material is the same as for general brass items).
