3952 Laoshanyang - Taroko: Selected Abalone Shell Rose Gold "Knife-Edge" (Yan Zhi) Fountain Pen

Taroko: 3952 Laoshanyang - Named after a renowned natural wonder in Taiwan, this is a distinguished and substantial writing instrument. The barrel is crafted from abalone shell, meticulously assembled piece by piece, with efforts made to seamlessly continue the natural patterns across each segment. Each shell piece showcases its unique natural textures and vibrant colors. After manual polishing, they are bonded onto a copper tube and coated with a thick layer of transparent lacquer. While the seams are visible, they are imperceptible to the touch. The result is a natural, multicolored, dazzling, and breathtaking finish (natural patterns, quality randomly selected for shipping). It is complemented by a metal grip section with an illusion pattern engraving and a black alloy electroplated rotating airtight cap, featuring grey chrome electroplated accents and a special spring-loaded clip design. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) rose gold steel nib, meticulously hand-ground and adjusted by Laoshanyang artisans into a flexible "knife-edge" (Yan Zhi) grind, akin to a long Naganuki nib. This allows for subtle variations in line width, offering a unique writing experience. **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 converter (ink not included) + one handcrafted black genuine leather pen pouch by a Taiwanese master artisan (style randomly selected for shipping) + 3952 Laoshanyang premium pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approx. 149mm, barrel and grip section length approx. 107mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 14.5mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 49g. In support of environmental protection, paper bags are not provided proactively. If a gift bag is required, please specify in the order notes after purchase. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is a single pen. Some photos may exhibit slight color differences due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: For maintenance, regularly wipe the interior of the pen barrel and cap. When not in use, avoid prolonged storage with the nib facing downwards. Warm Reminder: Avoid pressing down forcefully on the nib or writing with it at an angle (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the nib pointing towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position when writing). This prevents accidental misalignment of the iridium tip, which can lead to scratching and skipping. Rinse the nib with clean water regularly to prevent ink from drying and clogging, which can affect writing quality.
