## Description

Japanese Kita-Boshi OTP-series are unique 2mm mechanical pencils with the "old-school" look and feel of a classic wooden pencil, that will remind you of your childhood days. This knock-style wooden lead holder was created for those who prefer the feel of a wooden hexagonal pencil while enjoying the convenience and the advantage of a mechanical pencil. The lead holder has a natural wood body of premium American Cedar with its rich warm wood finish. The barrel diameter is slightly larger than a regular pencil to accommodate for adult hands. Its light weight and excellent balance make it easy to use for long periods without fatigue. The well-engineered clutch will hold the 2mm lead securely in place without slipping, no matter how much pressure is put on the lead. Located on top is a simple mushroom shaped knock button to release and return the lead back into the holder. The high-quality, Japan-made #1 B black lead is crafted by uniformly mixing pure graphite and clay, to achieve the ultimate resilience to breaking and the perfect smoothness. One 2mm #1 pencil lead is already included inside the holder. Perfect for writing, sketching and drawin, etc. Refill leads are available in packs of 5 in a sturdy cylindrical cardboard holder.

Review: I love nice writing implements. Pens, pencils, chalk on a garage floor.... This is my go to pencil for meetings. It's extremely comfortable to handle and is unassuming unless people look closely. It says to the office that I'm not committed to pen on paper, these scribbles can be erased. At the same time it's a step above the others frantically scribbling and clicking away on their 0.7mm leads. One of my best intoxicated impulse buys ever.
Review: Con un pequeño redondeo con un sacapuntas donde termina la madera (comienza la punta) es fantástico!

*by P***. on 14 August 2021*

One of the best mechanical pencils I've ever come across. The lead holder advance mechanism works incrementally exceedingly well, unlike most lead holders which don't have this feature. The wooden outer layer feels very comfortable to hold and is very well balanced. My only slight negative would be a lack of a pocket clip, but with most artists or drafters this wouldn't be a problem. At this price point for me it was a no-brainer.
