The Story: Nature’s Gradient (Gold & Jade)
You are viewing the exact pen you will receive (One-of-a-Kind).
This is a rare collector’s piece from the SIMEICHU Select collection. It captures the dramatic transition of the Golden Cudrania tree (Zhe Mu), featuring a striking Two-Tone Wave Pattern where the creamy white sapwood (the tree’s living outer layer) meets the deep golden heartwood.
Historically known as the “Emperor’s Wood,” this natural contrast symbolizes “Gold Inlaid with Jade” (金镶玉)—a traditional mark of harmony and balance. The dividing line between the two colors flows like a wave across the cap, preserving a “Live Edge” aesthetic that is completely unrepeatable.
Why This Pen is Special
- Rock-Solid Density: Despite the delicate contrasting colors, Golden Cudrania is exceptionally hard and dense. It offers a substantial, polished feel that is far tougher than most hardwoods.
- Seamless Construction: Unlike mass-produced pens, the cap, barrel, and grip section are carved from the same continuous block of wood. This ensures the grain flows uninterrupted from top to bottom.
- A “Pocket Sword”: Designed as a compact carry (10cm), it transforms into a perfectly balanced, full-length instrument (12.3cm) when the cap is posted on the back.

About the Material: This pen is crafted from natural, high-density wood. The contrast between the “Gold” heartwood and “Jade” sapwood will deepen over time, developing a rich patina as you use it.
Maintenance:
- Avoid leaving the pen in extreme heat or direct sunlight to prevent cracking.
- No special oiling is needed; your hand’s natural oils are the best conditioner.
