3952 Old Goat - X888 Rosewood High-Definition High-Gloss Version Standard Titanium Tip Series Fountain Pen

X888:3952 Old Goat - Rosewood (High-Definition High-Gloss Version), simple and imposing, with perfect balance for a comfortable writing experience. It features an elegant barrel-shaped cap, a clip with a flexible spring mechanism, and gunmetal-plated metal accents. The rosewood in this high-definition high-gloss version receives a premium treatment: the surface is finished with multiple layers of clear lacquer, repeatedly polished and buffed until the natural pores of the wood are completely filled. This meticulous process—requiring dozens of cycles of lacquering and polishing—results in a smooth, durable finish that is resistant to ink stains and hand perspiration while making the wood grain appear more three-dimensional and vivid. Each pen displays unique natural wood patterns (shipped randomly). Whether you prefer the high-gloss finish or a natural texture is a matter of personal taste, and Old Goat is proud to offer this option to our supporters. The pen features a threaded, airtight screw-on cap and an ergonomic grip designed for perfect balance and comfortable writing. The nib is a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib, hand-adjusted and ground by Old Goat artisans into a calligraphy nib. It is smooth and responsive, ideal for both Chinese characters and foreign languages, offering a superb writing experience that produces variable line widths similar to a calligraphy brush. This model is also available with a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium EF straight nib for those who prefer the flexibility and comfort of a titanium nib without the calligraphy grind. **Included accessories: German SCHMIDT K2 ink converter (no ink included), one handcrafted genuine leather pen sleeve (color and style selected at random), and a 3952 Old Goat wooden gift box.** Pen dimensions: total length approx. 150mm, pen body including grip length approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 50g. Hand-ground Calligraphy Nib Instructions: 1. For the calligraphy nib, it is recommended to dip-test first (do not remove the installed converter to prevent ink backflow). Once accustomed to the nib's characteristics, you may begin using the converter to draw ink. 2. The calligraphy nib is crafted by grinding an EF nib into a curved shape. Line width variation is achieved through the angle of the pen rather than by applying excessive pressure. A more upright angle results in finer lines, while a lower angle or slight pressure increases the surface contact, resulting in broader lines. Mastering these variations requires practice. (Please note that every nib has a limit to the pressure it can withstand; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment. Using a writing pad under your paper is recommended). To support environmental protection, we do not provide paper bags by default. Please include a note in your order if you require one for gift-giving. Photos are for reference only; the product is a single pen. Some color variations may occur due to lighting and angles; please refer to the actual product. Note: Regularly wipe and maintain the interior of the pen body and cap. Do not store the pen with the nib facing downward for extended periods. Gentle Reminder: Avoid applying excessive pressure or writing with the pen tilted to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to point the nib toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to prevent damaging the iridium tip, which may cause scratching or ink skipping. Clean the nib with water regularly to prevent ink buildup from affecting writing quality.
