3952 Old Goat - NARUWAN Ebony Wood High-Definition High-Gloss Edition Calligraphy Titanium Tip Series Fountain Pen

NARUWAN: 3952 Old Goat - Our Beautiful Hometown, Majestic and Elegant Writing Collection. Selected ebony wood, with a high-definition, high-gloss surface treatment. This process involves repeatedly applying and polishing transparent lacquer to fill the natural pores of the wood grain until the surface is smooth and lustrous, a process that takes dozens of repetitions. The high-definition, high-gloss finish creates a more even surface, offering a more substantial feel when writing and making the exquisite wood grain appear more three-dimensional and clear. It also makes the pen easier to maintain, protecting the wooden body from accidental ink stains. However, this meticulous process incurs higher costs. Both the high-definition, high-gloss and standard finishes offer distinct charms, catering to different tastes. The Old Goat fountain pen is sincerely presented to you, and we appreciate your support. The high-definition, high-gloss finish resembles the lustrous sheen of fine wood trim in luxury car interiors – reflective and substantial to the touch. Most finishes on the market involve simple polishing or waxing; such intricate treatments are rare (natural grain, quality items shipped randomly). This fountain pen is paired with a gunmetal PVD-plated clip and metal accents, featuring a barrel-shaped, airtight twist cap design with an exclusive molded clip housing a unique spring mechanism, making it a joy to handle and admire. This model is available with two distinct nib options: the Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip and the Special Calligraphy Titanium Tip. The Standard Calligraphy Titanium Tip utilizes a German Bock #250 (#6) standard titanium nib, handcrafted and adjusted by Old Goat artisans to produce varying line widths reminiscent of traditional brush calligraphy, offering a unique and more resilient writing feel than ordinary steel nibs. The Old Goat Special Calligraphy Titanium Tip (ground and adjusted from an EF nib) is a custom-made nib specially requested from the German manufacturer, model #250 (#6). It is then meticulously handcrafted and adjusted by Old Goat artisans to create a calligraphy tip capable of producing varied line widths and a distinctive brushstroke-like character. Compared to the standard calligraphy titanium nib, it offers even greater flexibility, allowing for richer expressive strokes. The nib is engraved with the 3952 Yushan characteristic logo, making it a treasured collectible. (This nib offers optimal flexibility but may be challenging for beginners; it is recommended for users who have prior experience with calligraphy steel nibs or standard calligraphy titanium nibs as an advanced option). **Gift Set Includes: German SCHMIDT K2 Converter (ink not included) + a handcrafted genuine leather pen sleeve by a Taiwanese master artisan (color and style shipped randomly) + 3952 Old Goat wooden pen box packaging.** Fountain Pen Dimensions: Total length approx. mm, Body and grip section length approx. mm, Maximum diameter approx. (excluding clip) mm, Total weight approx. (excluding nib) g. Hand-ground and Adjusted Calligraphy Nib: 1. For calligraphy nibs, it is recommended to start by dipping the nib in ink for writing (do not remove the converter installed in the barrel; this prevents ink from flowing back into the pen body after writing). After a period of adjustment, use the converter for inking. 2. The calligraphy nib is an EF nib ground and adjusted to have a curved profile. Line variation is achieved not by applying pressure, but by adjusting the writing angle. When the pen is held more upright, less of the nib contacts the paper, resulting in finer lines. As the pen is tilted more or slight pressure is applied, a larger area of the nib contacts the paper, producing broader lines. The ability to write both fine and broad lines depends on your proficiency (each nib has a certain tolerance for pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent damage or misalignment of the nib. It is recommended to place a writing pad under the paper for cushioning). The Special Calligraphy Titanium Tip is a custom titanium nib requested by Old Goat from the German manufacturer, featuring the 3952 Yushan logo imprint. Its flexibility is softer than that of a standard titanium nib but requires more delicate handling. The softness of the special nib can easily tempt users to apply pressure; if the user's technique is not adept or they are unfamiliar with the special nib's characteristics, it may lead to a temporary separation between the nib and feed, causing ink starvation and interrupted writing. If the user's writing angle is off and pressure is applied, it can distort the ink channel, leading to poor ink flow. Therefore, this nib is softer and more challenging to control. It is recommended to first master writing with steel nibs or standard titanium nibs before progressing to the special calligraphy titanium tip.

Some photos may have slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: Regularly clean and maintain the inside of the pen body and cap. When storing the pen, do not leave the nib pointing downwards for extended periods. Gentle Reminder: When writing, avoid pressing down on the nib or writing with the nib angled excessively to the left or right (for right-handed users, it is recommended to position the nib at approximately the 10 or 11 o'clock direction while writing). This prevents potential misalignment of the iridium tip, which can cause scratching and ink flow issues. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink buildup and blockages that could affect writing quality.
