This pen has deep reddish brown cocobolo with dark black-brown streaks running continuously along the cap and barrel. The surface shows fine natural pores and a smooth rounded form with a restrained glossy finish.
XiaoZhuo is SIMEICHU's compact pocket-size pen series. It is made as a refined writing tool: good-looking, distinctive, dependable in daily use, and enjoyable to hold.
It is short when capped and more comfortable when posted. Current natural wood models use a short cartridge-based writing system. Check the product options for the available fountain pen nib or Schmidt rollerball writing unit.
Cocobolo is a prized Central American rosewood, commercially known as Cocobolo and botanically identified as Dalbergia retusa.
It is dense, naturally oily, and smooth after polishing, with colors ranging from orange-red and reddish brown to deep brown. Dark streaks and changing grain patterns are common, but never predictable.
Every batch of Cocobolo behaves differently. Before the wood is turned and polished, no one can know exactly what the finished pen will reveal. Some pieces are bold and dramatic; others are darker, quieter, or more finely grained.
That natural unpredictability is the point: every Cocobolo pen is different, and each one has its own finished character.
