3952G.O.A.T - TAPANI Red Sandalwood High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Rose Gold Calligraphy Nib Fountain Pen

TAPANI: 3952G.O.A.T - Named after the ancient place name of Yujing, Tainan, Taiwan, this is a premium basic model for writing. Carefully selected red sandalwood, treated with a high-definition, high-gloss finish. The high-definition, high-gloss process involves applying transparent lacquer and polishing repeatedly until the pores formed in the wood grain over years are filled with lacquer, requiring dozens of applications. This technique creates a smoother surface, enhancing the tactile feel during writing and making the exquisite wood grain appear more three-dimensional and distinct. It also makes the surface easier to maintain, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink stains. However, this process incurs higher costs. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes have their own charm, catering to different tastes. The 3952G.O.A.T fountain pen is sincerely offered to you. Thank you for your support. The high-definition, high-gloss finish resembles the luster of premium car interior wood trim, so reflective it can be used as a mirror, offering a particularly substantial feel. Most finishes on the market are simply polished or waxed; such meticulous treatment is rare (natural grain, premium quality, randomly selected). The pen features a flame-pattern engraved airtight cap, gunmetal gray electroplated hardware, and a spring-loaded clip engraved with the 3952 brand LOGO. This pen is available with two hardware color options: gunmetal gray for a subtle and understated look, and antique copper for an elegant and vintage feel. Please select your preferred color before placing your order. Thank you. The nib is a German Bock #180 (#5) small rose gold steel nib, hand-ground and adjusted by 3952G.O.A.T artisans into a calligraphy nib. It enhances the strokes of Chinese characters, offering a smooth writing experience with easy line variation, evoking the unique charm of a brush pen. **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + One handmade black genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese master craftsman (style randomly selected) + 3952G.O.A.T premium pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Approximately 35 grams in weight, 143mm in length when capped, 125mm in length from nib to end of barrel, and 12mm in diameter. Hand-Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is generally recommended to dip the nib in ink and allow it to break in for a period before using a converter. 2. If you experience ink skipping with a converter, check your writing angle. Ensure both iridium points are simultaneously touching the paper; avoid writing with one side only. If skipping persists, check if paper fibers or debris are stuck in the nib slit. 3. Try using the converter removed and filling the pen directly with ink. 4. Rinse the nib thoroughly. If you write with one iridium point consistently or apply excessive pressure, it can cause misalignment of the iridium points, leading to scratching and paper debris accumulation in the slit. 5. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib adjusted to have a curvature. Line variation is achieved not by pressing down, but by the angle of the pen. Holding the pen more upright reduces the contact area with the paper, resulting in thinner lines. The more the pen is tilted, the larger the contact area, producing thicker lines. The ability to write both thick and thin lines depends on your skill and practice. In response to environmental protection, paper bags are not provided proactively. If you require one for gifting, please specify this in the order notes after purchase. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is a single pen. Some photos may have slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. When storing, do not leave the nib facing downwards for extended periods. Warm Reminder: Avoid pressing down on the nib or writing with it angled to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the nib at approximately the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to prevent accidental misalignment of the iridium points, which can cause scratching and ink skipping. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink blockage and maintain writing quality. Helpful Tip: The antique copper electroplated parts should be wiped and maintained regularly. Over time, with frequent contact with hand sweat, they will oxidize to a more antique copper hue.
