A slight amount of force is needed to pierce the plastic. **Before Writing:** New fountain pens may have a slow ink flow, resulting in no ink or intermittent writing. Cap the pen and place it nib-down for a while to allow the nib to absorb ink. Wrap the nib in a tissue or paper towel and gently shake it a few times (avoid shaking too vigorously to prevent ink splattering). Then, draw long curves on a piece of paper to ensure normal ink flow before writing. **Fountain Pen Maintenance:** If a fountain pen is left unused for too long, the ink can dry out, preventing normal writing. Remove the nib, place the pen body separately, and prepare a cup of warm water (not boiling, but noticeably warm). Insert the nib into the water and let it sit for a period; the ink will dissolve. Repeat this process a few times, and the pen will be ready for use. **Wood Part Maintenance:** Natural wood is susceptible to water and moisture. When not in use, store it in its box or in a dry place. If it accidentally gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth and let it air dry in a ventilated area before storing. After a period of use, you can gently brush the surface with a clean, soft-bristled toothbrush to revive the fragrance. **Sandalwood Facts** Natural sandalwood is found only in India, Fiji, and Australia. In India, it is considered a national treasure, primarily grown in the Mysore region at altitudes above 3000 feet. The trees require several hundred years to mature before they can be harvested. Sandalwood emits a permanent, subtle, and elegant fragrance, is believed to ward off evil spirits, and is a precious material for carving Buddhist statues and a key ingredient in incense. Indian Old Mountain Sandalwood is the finest grade, possessing a milder, less pungent aroma compared to Australian New Mountain Sandalwood, which can be quite sharp. I have not personally encountered Fijian sandalwood, so I cannot comment on its scent. You can find related information and authentication methods by searching for "sandalwood" on Baidu Baike. **Origin/Manufacturing Method** Wood Origin: India / Processed and Manufactured: Taiwan
