3952 Old Goat - NARUWAN Desert Ironwood High-Definition High-Gloss Flexible Steel Nib Fountain Pen

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Goat - Our Beautiful Homeland, an elegant and grand writing instrument. Meticulously selected [Desert Ironwood] with a high-definition, high-gloss finish. Every piece of wood possesses unique natural grain and color. Old Goat fountain pens use high-quality wood, refined through delicate processing and surface treatment to reveal deep luster and texture. High-definition, high-gloss is a surface treatment process that demands both precision and time. During production, the piece is repeatedly coated with a clear protective lacquer, followed by multiple rounds of fine sanding and polishing. This layer-by-layer application fills the wood’s natural pores and microscopic indentations. After dozens of applications and sanding cycles, a smooth, delicate, and substantial high-gloss surface is achieved. This complex process not only clarifies and sharpens the wood's natural grain but also enhances the depth and three-dimensionality of its texture. The finished barrel exudes a gentle luster reminiscent of premium automotive wood trim, showcasing the unique beauty of natural wood as light dances across its surface. Beyond aesthetics, the high-gloss surface provides excellent protection for the wooden body, reducing the impact of hand sweat, stains, and ink residue from daily use, making maintenance easier. Natural wood grains vary; every pen is a unique existence. The high-definition, high-gloss process requires more labor and time, resulting in higher production costs. Old Goat fountain pens persist in using fine processing methods to showcase the inherent beauty of wood, turning each pen into more than just a writing tool—it is a craft work meant to be savored. The fountain pen features grey-chrome plated clips and metal components, a barrel-shaped airtight screw cap, and an exclusively molded clip with a special spring mechanism, making it a joy to handle. Desert ironwood is a leguminous shrub (small tree) that grows exclusively in the deserts from the Southwestern United States to Northwestern Mexico. Due to the harsh, arid desert environment, it grows slowly, taking hundreds of years to reach maturity and living up to 2,000 years. As a plant adapted to the desert, its drought and sun resistance are fundamental traits, resulting in wood as hard as iron. Its extreme density means it can sink in water. To local indigenous people, it is a rare and premium wood, perfect for furniture and high-quality carvings. Internationally, desert ironwood is synonymous with quality, often used for handmade knife handles, premium fountain pens, handicrafts, and musical instrument accessories. The pen uses a German JoWo #6 (WIN #12) flexible steel nib, available in EF (Extra Fine) or F (Fine). This high-quality flexible steel nib ensures smooth and reliable ink flow. **Included with your purchase: German SCHMIDT K2 ink converter (no ink included) + a handmade black genuine leather pen sleeve (style selected at random) + 3952 Old Goat wooden gift box.** Pen dimensions: Total length approx. 154mm, body plus grip length approx. 105mm, maximum diameter (excluding clip) approx. 17mm, total weight (excluding nib) approx. 47g. To support environmental protection, we do not provide paper bags by default. If you require one for gifting, please indicate this in the order notes. Thank you. Images are for reference only; the product is a single pen. Some photos may show slight color variations due to lighting; the actual product prevails. Note: Please regularly clean and maintain the inside of the barrel and cap. Do not leave the pen standing with the nib facing down for long periods. Friendly reminder: Do not apply excessive pressure or write at extreme angles (for right-handed users, we recommend keeping the nib pointing toward the 10 or 11 o'clock position) to avoid misaligning the iridium tip, which can cause paper scratching or ink skipping. Clean the nib with water regularly to prevent clogs. Friendly reminder: The flexible steel nib can withstand a certain amount of pressure. Start by writing with a light hand, then gradually test its flexibility. Only apply downward pressure to slightly spread the tines; keep horizontal strokes light. Avoid applying force indiscriminately or excessively, as this may damage or misalign the nib.
