NARUWAN Golden Sandalwood High-Gloss Finish Flexible Calligraphy Nib Fountain Pen by 3952 Old Mountain Goat

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Mountain Goat - Our Beautiful Homeland, an Elegant and Grand Writing Collection. Carefully selected Golden Sandalwood, treated with a high-definition, high-gloss finish. This process involves repeatedly applying and polishing transparent lacquer until the natural pores of the wood grain are completely filled, a process that can take dozens of applications over time. The high-definition, high-gloss finish creates a smoother surface for a more tactile writing experience, making the exquisite wood grain appear more three-dimensional and vivid. It also simplifies maintenance, protecting the wooden pen body from accidental ink stains. However, this meticulous craftsmanship comes at a higher cost. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes offer distinct appeals, catering to different tastes. The Old Mountain Goat fountain pen is proudly presented, with gratitude for your support. The high-definition, high-gloss finish emulates the lustrous sheen of high-end car interior wood trim, so polished it can reflect like a mirror, offering a uniquely substantial feel. While most finishes on the market are merely polished or waxed, this intensive treatment is exceptionally rare (natural grain, premium quality, shipped randomly). The pen is accented with gunmetal electroplated clip and fittings. It features a barrel-shaped, airtight rotating cap design and a uniquely molded clip with a special spring mechanism, making it a joy to handle. The nib utilizes a German JoWo #6 (WIN #12) flexible steel nib (EF size), which has been handcrafted and adjusted by Old Mountain Goat artisans into a flexible calligraphy nib capable of producing variable line widths. It allows for the unique expression reminiscent of a brush pen, offering a distinct feel that is durable, pressure-resistant, and easy to master, making it an ideal entry-level model for aspiring calligraphers. **Set Includes:** German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + a handcrafted black genuine leather pen pouch by a Taiwanese master craftsman (style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Mountain Goat wooden pen box packaging. Dimensions: Length: 154mm, Cap outer diameter: 17mm, Body and nib length: 130mm, Body outer diameter: 14.7mm, Weight: approx. 46 grams. Hand-ground and adjusted calligraphy nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to start by dipping the nib in ink for writing (do not remove the converter installed in the barrel; this prevents ink from flowing back into the pen body after writing). After a period of adjustment, switch to using the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is crafted by grinding and adjusting an EF nib to create a curved tip. Line width variation is achieved not by pressing down, but by adjusting the angle of the pen holder. When held at a more upright angle, the contact area between the nib and the paper is smaller, resulting in finer lines. As the pen holder angle becomes more oblique or with slight pressure, the contact area between the nib and the paper increases, producing broader strokes. The ability to write both thick and thin lines depends on your proficiency (each nib has a certain degree of pressure it can withstand; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. It is recommended to use a writing pad under the paper). Images are for reference only. The product is for a single unit. Some photos may have slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. When stored, do not leave the nib pointing downwards for extended periods. Friendly Reminder: When writing, avoid pressing down hard or writing with the nib angled excessively to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the nib pointing towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This prevents potential misalignment of the iridium point, which can lead to scratching and skipping. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and blockages that affect writing quality. Friendly Reminder: Flexible calligraphy nibs can withstand a certain amount of pressure. Begin with a light touch when writing and gradually increase pressure to test the nib's flexibility. Avoid applying excessive or random force to the nib, as this may cause damage or misalignment.
