3952 Old Goat - X888 Ebony Wood High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Standard Titanium Tip Series Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - A rustic, substantial, and perfectly balanced fountain pen designed for a comfortable writing experience. Carefully Selected [Ebony Wood] with High-Definition, High-Gloss Craftsmanship Every piece of wood possesses its own unique natural grain and hue. Old Goat fountain pens feature premium wood, meticulously processed and finished to reveal the deep luster and character of the natural material. High-definition, high-gloss finishing is a process that requires precision and patience. During production, transparent protective lacquer is repeatedly applied, followed by multiple rounds of delicate sanding and polishing. This fills the natural pores and microscopic indentations of the wood layer by layer. After dozens of cycles of coating and sanding, a flat, refined, and rich high-gloss surface is achieved. This complex process not only clarifies and highlights the natural grain of the wood, bringing out its depth and dimensionality, but also results in a warm, lustrous finish reminiscent of high-end automotive wood trim. As light plays across the surface, the natural beauty of the wood is fully revealed. Beyond the visual upgrade, this finish provides a robust protective layer for the wooden barrel, reducing the impact of hand oils, stains, and ink on the surface, making daily cleaning and maintenance easier. Natural wood grains vary, ensuring every pen is a one-of-a-kind piece. The high-definition, high-gloss process requires more labor and time, resulting in a higher production cost. Old Goat persists in this refined craftsmanship to showcase the natural beauty of the wood, elevating the fountain pen from a mere writing tool to a work of art worth savoring. Equipped with gray chrome-plated metal accents, a screw-on airtight cap, and a spring-loaded clip. The nib features a German BOCK #250 (#6) Standard Titanium Tip, manually adjusted and ground by Old Goat artisans into a Calligraphy Titanium Tip. It offers a smooth, responsive, and flexible writing experience, ideal for both Kanji and Western scripts, allowing for the varied line widths characteristic of brush calligraphy. This model is also available with a German BOCK #250 (#6) Standard Titanium Tip (EF), designed for those who prefer the flexibility and comfort of a titanium nib without the calligraphy grind. **Included with your purchase: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + one handmade genuine leather pen sleeve (color/style selected at random) + 3952 Old Goat wooden gift box.** Pen Dimensions: Total length approx. 150mm, barrel with grip section approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 50g. Hand-Ground Calligraphy Tip Guide: 1. For the calligraphy tip, we recommend starting by dipping the pen in ink (do not remove the installed converter to prevent ink from flowing back into the barrel). After adapting to the nib's characteristics, you may proceed to use the converter for ink filling. 2. The calligraphy tip is an EF nib ground to a curved shape. Line width variation is achieved not by applying pressure, but by adjusting the writing angle. A more upright angle utilizes less of the nib's surface, creating finer lines. A flatter angle or slight pressure increases the contact area, resulting in broader lines. Mastering these variations requires practice. (Please note that every nib has a limit to the pressure it can withstand; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a writing mat under your paper is recommended). To support environmental protection, we do not provide paper bags by default. Please include a note in your order if you require one for gift-giving. Images are for reference only; the product is a single pen. Slight color variations may occur due to lighting, and the actual product shall prevail. Note: Wipe and maintain the inside of the barrel and cap regularly. Avoid storing the pen with the nib facing downward for extended periods. Friendly Reminder: Do not apply excessive pressure or write at awkward angles (e.g., for right-handed users, the nib should point toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to avoid misalignment of the iridium tip, which may cause scratching or ink flow issues. Regularly rinse the nib with clean water to prevent ink clogs that could affect writing quality.
