This (really) missing link comes from Japan. At first glance, the mechanical pencil with its body made of lacquered cedar wood and hexagonal cross-section seems anachronistic: like the belated implementation of an unrealized, albeit obvious, step in the evolution of the pencil into a mechanical writing instrument. On closer inspection, and even more so in use, it quickly becomes apparent that the synthesis manifested in the "Ohto Sharp Pencil" is entirely appropriate (and by no means outmoded): the pencil combines the advantages of the mechanical pencil (namely: a constant, fine line thanks to the 0.5 mm lead) with those of the wood-cased pencil (namely: manageability and low weight), which should be welcomed not only by all those who grew up with the classic hexagonal pencil. Here we offer it in a short version with a clip, the longer counterpart can also be found in our range.
