3952 Old Goat - X888 Golden Camphor Wood High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Two-Tone Calligraphy Steel Nib Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - Golden Camphor Wood (High-Definition High-Gloss Edition), understated and elegant, with perfect balance and a comfortable writing experience. The cap features a dignified barrel shape with a flexible clip design and grey chrome-plated metal accents. This high-definition, high-gloss version of Golden Camphor Wood utilizes premium wood treated with a sophisticated process, making it easy to maintain and resistant to ink or sweat. The wood grain appears more three-dimensional, showcasing its natural beauty (each pen features unique grain, shipped randomly). The high-definition, high-gloss finish involves repeated application and polishing of a transparent lacquer until the pores formed over years are completely filled. This process requires dozens of coatings, resulting in a smoother surface for a better writing feel and more pronounced, clearer wood grain. This finish also makes maintenance easier, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink spills. However, this meticulous process incurs higher costs. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes have their own charm, catering to different tastes. Old Goat fountain pens sincerely offer this craftsmanship, thanking you for your support. The pen features a threaded, airtight cap, a perfectly balanced grip section, and an understated, comfortable writing design. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) two-tone steel nib, meticulously handcrafted by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy nib capable of producing distinct thick and thin lines, akin to a brush pen. It offers a responsive feel, allowing for nuanced character strokes and the expression of individual taste. **Gift Set Includes:** German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + a hand-stitched black genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese master craftsman (style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Goat wooden pen box packaging. **Pen Dimensions:** Total length 150mm, cap length 69mm, cap outer diameter 17.5mm, body length including nib 130mm, body outer diameter 14.4mm. Overall weight approximately 46 grams. **Hand-Tuned Calligraphy Nib:** 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is generally recommended to first dip the nib in ink and use it for a period before employing a converter. 2. If using a converter leads to skipping, check your grip angle to ensure both iridium points simultaneously contact the paper, not favoring one side. If skipping persists, examine the nib for paper fibers or debris. 3. Remove the converter and try filling the pen by capillary action. 4. Clean the nib. If one iridium point is consistently favored or excessive pressure is applied, it can cause the iridium points to become misaligned, leading to scratching and paper debris accumulation. 5. Calligraphy nibs are typically adjusted from an EF (Extra Fine) nib with a curved tip. Line variation is achieved through your writing angle, not by pressing down, utilizing the curvature of the nib's front. Holding the pen more upright, with less contact area between the nib and paper, produces finer lines. The more you tilt the pen, the larger the contact area, resulting in thicker lines. Achieving line variation depends on your skill and practice. In line with environmental protection efforts, we do not proactively provide gift bags.

Some photos may exhibit 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 the pen, avoid leaving the nib facing downwards for extended periods. **Gentle Reminder:** Avoid pressing down on the nib or writing with the nib angled too far left or right (for right-handed users, aim for a writing angle around 10 or 11 o'clock). This helps prevent accidental misalignment of the iridium points, which can cause scratching and ink skipping. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent ink blockage and maintain optimal writing quality.
