SIMEICHU XiaoZhuo Bocote / Golden Sandalwood Fountain Pen

Bocote — Bold Grain, Golden Warmth

Handcrafted from Bocote, a striking hardwood prized for its golden-brown color and bold dark grain.

Native to Mexico and Central America, Bocote is known for flowing black streaks, natural swirls, and occasional eye-like figuring. Each pen has its own pattern, so no two pieces look exactly alike.

Its dense, smooth feel makes it a favorite for fine instruments, custom knife handles, turning work, and heirloom-quality objects.

Over time, Bocote can deepen toward a warmer amber tone, giving the pen more character as it is handled and used.

About XiaoZhuo

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.
