[About the "Rolling Donkey" Variety]

The Lu Da Gun, affectionately translating to the "Rolling Donkey," is a deeply charming and highly sought-after Wenwan variety. It earns its unique name for two reasons: its plump, cylindrical silhouette beautifully mirrors a famous traditional pastry of the same name, and its geometric structure allows it to tumble, glide, and roll effortlessly in the palm. Unlike broad, flattened scholar varieties, the Rolling Donkey embraces a rounded, elongated architecture with thick, flowing ridges. This specific shape minimizes friction, making it the absolute ultimate choice for collectors who want a fast, fluid, and continuous rolling experience.


[Characteristics of LDG-802]

  • Dynamic Rolling Geometry: Measuring a highly portable 38.0mm in width but a staggering 45.0mm in depth/height. This dramatic 7mm differential creates a distinct, elongated, and wonderfully plump "pill-like" profile. This unique ratio allows the massive belly to comfortably fill the vertical space of your hand, providing a substantial, weighty feel while maintaining a perfectly streamlined width for easy handling.
  • Frictionless Fluidity: The surface showcases the signature thick, smooth, and undulating ridges of the variety. Combined with its elongated shape, this pair rolls past one another with a deeply rhythmic, quiet fluidity. It provides a soothing, continuous massage that never fatigues the fingers.
  • Boutique Matching: Finding an elongated pair with such identical plumpness and unified texture is incredibly difficult. They share the perfect weight distribution required for a balanced, seamless tumble.
  • Expert Aging Tip: To ensure a perfectly even, brilliant oxidation across this unique, plump surface, we highly recommend resting them in a sealed bag between handling sessions for the first two to three weeks. This expert technique safely traps natural hand oils to accelerate a rich, deep red patina far more effectively than using gloves.

You are easy to work with and are great communication.

Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.

Class acts!

I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!

Thank you!

This company is Stellar. I’ve enjoyed the products I’ve Boughten for myself and gifts Ives given.

These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.

Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.

I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.

I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.

Good

The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you

The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
