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

X888:3952 Old Goat - Walnut Burl (High-Definition High-Gloss Edition), offering a rustic and grand aesthetic, perfect balance, and a comfortable writing experience. It features a grand barrel-shaped cap with a spring-loaded clip mechanism, and gunmetal gray plated metal accents. The walnut burl is presented in a high-definition, high-gloss finish. Premium wood deserves sophisticated treatment; this finish is easy to maintain, resistant to ink stains and hand sweat, and enhances the wood's natural three-dimensional texture. The natural wood grain means each pen is unique, and high-quality pieces are shipped randomly. (The high-definition high-gloss process involves repeatedly applying and polishing transparent lacquer until the pores, naturally formed over years, are filled. This requires dozens of lacquer applications. This meticulous technique results in a smoother surface, a more tactile writing feel, and makes the exquisite wood grain appear more three-dimensional and distinct. It also simplifies maintenance, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink spills, though this process incurs higher costs. Both high-definition high-gloss and standard finishes have their own charm, catering to different tastes. Old Goat Fountain Pens sincerely offer this to you and thank you for your support.) The threaded, rotating, airtight cap ensures perfect balance in the grip area, creating a comfortable writing experience with a simple yet grand design. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib and the Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Nib. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib is crafted from a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib. Old Goat artisans meticulously hand-tune it to produce line variations reminiscent of Chinese calligraphy brushes, offering a unique, flexible feel compared to regular steel nibs. The Old Goat Specially Tuned Calligraphy Titanium Nib (EF nib ground and adjusted) is a custom-ordered nib from the German manufacturer, model #250 (#6). Old Goat artisans then hand-tune it to create a calligraphy nib capable of producing varying line widths, evoking the distinctive charm of brush writing. It offers even more flexibility than the standard titanium calligraphy nib, allowing for richer strokes. The nib is engraved with the 3952 Yushan distinctive logo, making it a collectible piece. (This nib offers the best flexibility, which may be challenging for beginners. It is recommended for users who have prior experience with calligraphy steel nibs or standard titanium calligraphy nibs, as an advanced option.) **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (inkless) + a handcrafted genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese master artisan (color and style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Goat wooden pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Overall length 150mm, cap length 69mm, cap outer diameter 17.5mm, body including nib 130mm, body outer diameter 14.4mm. Total weight approximately 46 grams. Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nibs: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to start by dipping the nib in ink for initial writing (leave the converter installed in the pen body; do not remove it, to prevent ink from flowing back into the pen body after writing). After a period of adjustment, use the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is ground and adjusted from an EF nib to create a curved tip that produces line variation not solely through pressure, but by the angle of the pen holder. By holding the pen more upright, the contact area with the paper is reduced, resulting in thinner lines. As the pen holder angle becomes more slanted or slight pressure is applied, the contact area increases, yielding broader lines. The ability to write thick or thin lines depends on your proficiency. (Each nib has a certain tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. It is recommended to use a writing pad under the paper for cushioning during writing.) The specially tuned titanium nib is a custom titanium nib requested from the German manufacturer by Old Goat, engraved with the 3952 Yushan logo. Its flexibility is softer than standard titanium nibs, making it less intuitive to control. The soft, springy nature of the specially tuned nib can lead to ink flow interruption if pressure is applied without proper technique. When the user's grip or pressure is incorrect, it can cause a temporary separation between the nib and the feed, disrupting ink flow and causing skipping. If the user's nib angle is off and pressure is applied, the ink channel can become distorted, leading to poor ink supply. Therefore, this nib is more flexible and challenging to control. It is recommended to first gain proficiency with steel nibs or standard titanium nibs before advancing to the specially tuned nib.

Images are for reference only. The product is sold individually. Some photos may have slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the pen body and the inside of the cap. When storing the pen, do not let the nib point downwards for extended periods. Warm Reminder: Do not press down on the nib while writing, or excessively angle it left or right (for right-handed writers, it is recommended to hold the nib at approximately the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This helps prevent iridium point misalignment, scratching, or ink skipping. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink blockage and maintain writing quality.
