3952 Laoshan Goat - Dapeng Bay: Premium Mother-of-Pearl Calligraphy Titanium Nib Series Fountain Pen

DAPENG BAY: 3952 Laoshan Goat - Named after a renowned Taiwanese landmark, this is a special edition for grand writing. Featuring a lustrous and crystal-clear natural mother-of-pearl shell, akin to white jade. Each piece is meticulously cut and assembled to seamlessly match the natural grain. The shell pieces showcase unique natural patterns and colors. After manual polishing, they are adhered to the brass tube and coated with a thick layer of transparent lacquer, allowing the seams to be visible but not felt. The natural patterns are breathtakingly beautiful and captivating (natural patterns, premium quality, random shipment). The pen is complemented by original brass fittings with gray chrome plating. It features a rotating airtight cap and a specially designed elastic clip. This model is available with two nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib and the Special Calligraphy Titanium Nib. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Nib uses a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib, handcrafted and adjusted by Laoshan Goat artisans to create a calligraphy nib that produces varying line widths with the flair of brush strokes. It offers a distinct tactile feel and greater elasticity than typical steel nibs. The Laoshan Goat Special Calligraphy Titanium Nib (ground and adjusted from an EF nib) is a custom nib specially requested from the German manufacturer, model #250 (#6). It is then handcrafted and adjusted by Laoshan Goat artisans to achieve varying line widths reminiscent of brush calligraphy, offering a unique charm. Compared to the standard version, this special nib boasts enhanced elasticity, allowing for richer expression and more nuanced strokes. The nib is engraved with the 3952 Jade Mountain distinctive logo, making it a treasured collectible. (This nib, with its superior elasticity, may be challenging for beginners. It is recommended for pen enthusiasts who have experience with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium nibs as an advanced option). **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (ink not included) + One handcrafted black genuine leather pen case by a Taiwanese master artisan (style shipped randomly) + 3952 Laoshan Goat premium gift box packaging** Pen Dimensions: Total length approximately 150mm, barrel and grip section length approximately 105mm, maximum diameter approximately 14.5mm (excluding clip), total weight approximately 54g (excluding nib). Hand-ground and adjusted calligraphy nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to first dip the nib in ink for writing (do not remove the converter installed in the barrel; this prevents ink backflow into the pen body after writing). Use it this way to acclimate to the nib's characteristics. After some time, refill using the converter for regular writing. 2. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib ground and adjusted to have a curved tip. The variation in line width is not solely achieved by pressing down, but by the angle of the pen holder. Utilizing the nib's curvature, varying line widths are produced. Holding the pen more upright, with less nib surface area in contact with the paper, results in finer lines. The more the pen is tilted or a slight pressure is applied, the larger the contact area between the nib and the paper, producing thicker 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 nib damage or misalignment. It is recommended to use a writing mat under the paper). The special titanium nib is a custom titanium nib requested from the German manufacturer by Laoshan Goat, engraved with the 3952 Jade Mountain logo. Its flexibility is softer and more elastic than standard titanium nibs, but it is less forgiving to control. The special nib's soft elasticity can easily tempt the user to apply pressure. If the user's technique is not adept or they are unfamiliar with the special nib's characteristics, it can easily lead to a temporary separation between the nib and the feed, causing ink flow issues that cannot keep up with the writing speed, resulting in skips. If the user's holding angle is off, combined with applying pressure, it can distort the ink channels, leading to inconsistent ink flow. Therefore, this nib is more elastic and harder to control. It is recommended to first gain proficiency with steel nibs or standard titanium nibs before advancing to the special nib. In response to environmental protection, paper bags are not provided proactively. If you require one for gifting, please specify this in your order notes after purchase. Thank you. Images are for reference only. The product is sold individually. Some photos may have slight color discrepancies due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. When storing, please do not let the nib face downwards for extended periods. Warm Reminder: When writing, do not press down on the nib or write with the nib skewed to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to hold the nib pointing towards the 10 or 11 o'clock position). This prevents accidental misalignment of the iridium tip, causing scratching and ink skipping. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and blockage, which can affect writing quality.
