Featuring a hexagonal barrel designed for ergonomic comfort, it uses durable #1 B black lead crafted in Japan for smooth, break-resistant writing.

## 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. A unique and convenient lead sharpener is also included, which features a leaf shaped spring that has four cutting edges instead of a single blade. You can sharpen the lead by twisting it from left to right. Perfect for writing, sketching and drawin, etc. Available in natural wood color, indigo (blue) and madder (red). Refill leads are available in packs of 5 in a sturdy cylindrical cardboard holder.

Review: Great choice. Will be buying more. - My favourite pencil. Nice look and feel.
Review: It's actually 4.5 stars - Favorite features: - pencil's wooden body is a delight to feel in hand. - comes with such a cool sharpener. I love the slim design it fits perfectly in any pencil case. I deducted 0.5 stars because the the sharpener does have one minor drawback: it doesn't sharpen the lead to a long point . It still produces a sufficiently sharp point but it’s noticeably shorter than what I’m accustomed to. See the photo. This doesn’t significantly hinder the drawing experience, but it might be a consideration for those who prefer a longer, more defined point. Especially if you need a sharp point for details you will find yourself sharpening it more often. Overall, i love the blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality. It's a worthy addition to any stationery collection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hold the Niji colored leads (Yasutomo & Company)?**
A: For as long as they are 2.0mm in diameter, you will have no problem. The Pencil is quite large in length, so far it has accommodated all the leads in my stash: Steadtler, Uni Mitusbishi, Rotring and Maruzen Arts.

**Q: How many pencils do you get?  what color leads?**
A: Its just one pencil and a peice of HB lead. It comes with its own lead sharpener wich is nice since it won't fit in to a barrel Sharpener.

**Q: Do these come in other colors, particularly metallic colors?!**
A: Not metallic. This is a wooden lead holder, meaning it’s meant to be appreciated as that. There are colored versions available from Kitaboshi and another brand called Penco

**Q: Will this work with prismacolor turquoise lead refills?**
A: No. It will not. For some reason the Turquoise 2mm leads are ever so slightly thinner than other 2mm leads (I know, I know... 2mm should be 2mm) and they fall right out. It works fine with other 2mm leads I have tried.
