[Domestic Material] Island Wood Fountain Pen | Taiwan Hinoki × SCHMIDT F Nib

A fountain pen you write with in Taiwan hinoki

The Island Wood Fountain Pen is the fountain pen version of the Island Wood Pen series. The barrel and clip are Taiwan hinoki; the pen is about 14.5 cm long and 1.1 cm in diameter, fitted with a German SCHMIDT F nib.

Taiwan hinoki barrel and wooden clip

The barrel and clip are made of Taiwan hinoki, with its pale yellow grain and natural scent. The cap and inner structure are metal parts. Made in Taiwan.

Each pen comes from a different piece of wood. Sawing direction, growth-ring width and heartwood or sapwood position all change the grain and color. Knots and grain variations are natural features of real wood, not defects.

SCHMIDT F nib, about the width of a ballpoint

The nib is an F fountain pen nib made by German stationery maker SCHMIDT. Its line width is close to a regular ballpoint pen, and it writes smoothly without scratching the paper — good for copying text, drafts, signatures, or larger handwriting.

Fill it with bottled ink using the included converter, or use widely available standard international ink cartridges.

Two packaging options, for yourself or as a gift

Black paper box (NT$2,580): The pen, converter and cartridge come in a black paper box with a window on the lid that shows the barrel.

Mahogany pen box (NT$3,580): Adds a mahogany drawer pen box designed by WKidea, about 168 × 40 × 25 mm. It stores the pen and can also hold it upright. The pen box comes in a cork inner box and a black outer box:

How to change the ink

01　Unscrew the nib section.
02　Remove the converter or the empty cartridge.
03　Draw bottled ink with the converter, or insert a new standard international cartridge.
04　Screw the nib section back on and start writing.

Q: Can I add engraving?
A: Yes, on the barrel, free of charge. Text and length are adjusted to your request — add it in the order note, or confirm with us via LINE or email.

Q: When will it ship?
A: In stock, ships in 2–3 business days.

Q: Will the grain look the same as the photos?
A: Not exactly. Each pen uses a different piece of wood, so grain, color and knot positions vary.

Q: Will hand sweat change the color of the wood?
A: Natural wood gradually changes in color and feel with use and time. Regular beeswax care on the wooden parts keeps the surface clean and smooth.
