3952 Old Goat - X888 Walnut Burl High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Calligraphy Titanium Tip Fountain Pen Series

X888:3952 Old Goat - A model defined by its rustic grandeur, perfect balance, and comfortable writing experience. Carefully selected [Walnut Burl] with high-definition, high-gloss craftsmanship. Every piece of wood has its own unique natural grain and color. Old Goat fountain pens feature carefully selected premium woods, processed and surface-treated to reveal a deeper luster and texture. High-definition, high-gloss is a surface treatment process that demands meticulous steps and time. During production, transparent protective lacquer is repeatedly applied, followed by multiple rounds of fine sanding and polishing. This fills the natural pores and micro-indentations on the wood surface layer by layer. After dozens of repeated coating and sanding cycles, a smooth, delicate, and substantial high-gloss surface is formed. This complex process not only makes the natural wood grain appear clearer and more vivid, but also fully expresses the depth and three-dimensional quality of the wood. The finished pen body exhibits a warm, gentle luster reminiscent of premium wood trim in luxury vehicles, revealing the unique beauty of natural wood as light flows across the surface. Beyond aesthetic improvement, the high-gloss surface provides excellent protection for the wood body, reducing the impact of hand sweat, stains, and ink on the wood and making daily cleaning and maintenance easier. Natural wood grains are diverse; every pen is unique. The high-definition, high-gloss process requires more labor and time, resulting in higher production costs. Old Goat fountain pens persist in this meticulous processing method to showcase the intrinsic natural beauty of the wood, ensuring that a wooden fountain pen is not just a writing tool, but a piece of craftsmanship worthy of careful appreciation. The fountain pen is paired with chrome-plated metal fittings, a screw-on airtight cap, and a spring-loaded clip design. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip and the Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Tip. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip uses a German BOCK #250 (#6) standard titanium nib, hand-adjusted by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy nib capable of producing varying line widths with the nuances of brush calligraphy. It offers a different feel and more flexibility than standard steel nibs. The Old Goat Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Tip (EF nib grind/adjustment) is a custom nib produced to our specifications by the German factory. The #250 (#6) nib is hand-adjusted by Old Goat artisans to create a calligraphy nib that produces variations in line width, capturing a unique brush-like quality. It is more flexible than the standard version, allowing for more expressive strokes. It features the 3952 Yushan logo, making it a collectible piece. (This nib offers maximum flexibility and is less suited for beginners; it is recommended for users who have experience with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium tips.) **Included with your purchase: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (no ink), one hand-stitched genuine leather pen sleeve (color/style shipped at random), and 3952 Old Goat wooden gift box.** Pen dimensions: total length approx. 150mm, body plus grip approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 48g. Hand-ground calligraphy nib adjustment: 1. For calligraphy nibs, we suggest starting with dip-writing (do not remove the converter installed inside the pen to prevent ink from flowing back into the barrel). Once you have adapted to the nib's characteristics, you may begin using the converter to fill with ink. 2. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib ground and adjusted to have a curved profile. Line width variation is achieved not by pressure, but by the angle of the pen. By using the arc of the nib tip, you can create varying thicknesses. Holding the pen more vertically results in a smaller contact area and finer lines. The more tilted the pen, or the more pressure applied, the larger the contact area and the thicker the lines. Proficiency determines your ability to create these variations (each nib has a certain tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a writing pad under your paper is recommended). The Specially Tuned Titanium Tip is a custom titanium nib made for Old Goat by the German manufacturer, featuring the 3952 Yushan logo. Its characteristics are softer and more flexible than standard titanium nibs, but it is more difficult to control. Due to the high flexibility, poor technique when applying pressure can lead to ink flow interruption. The nib's characteristics easily encourage users to apply pressure, but without sufficient skill or familiarity, the nib and feed may temporarily separate, causing ink supply to fail to keep up with writing speed. If the holding angle is skewed while applying pressure, the ink flow channel can be distorted, hindering flow. Therefore, this model is quite soft and challenging to control. We recommend becoming proficient with steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium tips before advancing to this specially tuned nib. To support environmental conservation, we do not automatically provide paper bags. If you require one for gift-giving, please let us know in the order notes. Thank you. Photos are for reference only; the product is a single pen. Some color variations may occur due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. Do not store the pen with the nib pointing downward for extended periods. Friendly Reminder: Do not press down on the nib while writing, and avoid tilting the pen to the left or right (for right-handers, it is recommended that the nib points toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This prevents misalignment of the iridium tip, which can cause paper scratching or ink flow issues. Regularly rinse the nib with clean water to prevent ink clogging, which can affect writing quality.
