The ultra-industrial design of the grip is this leadholder’s unmistakable key feature.
Over the top in many ways, I knew I wanted to get one as soon as I saw a photo. If the technical pencils from Ohto, Rotring, and Staedtler leave you asking “what’s next?”, this might be for you. Tajima pulled out all the stops in creating a striking leadholder.
I can’t decide if this pencil is truly usable. If you don’t like the knurl of a Rotring – this grip will feel even less pleasant. It may have gone a bit too far. If one moves a finger or thumb up or down – ouch. It requires finding one’s grip and keeping it.
Yet, I like the design!
How do we order one?
Agreed, really sharp-looking pencil, but it looks like it would be rather painful to use.
That grip surely looks impressive, but dangerous. Like the sort of machine that has warning signs about watch out or you’ll lose a couple of fingers.
A display only pencil? :-)
Where can I order one of these?
Looks like they are available at Bundoki http://bundoki.com/?pid=10432378
Nice leadholder. Metal anything is always good…..
The pencil holder looks strong! The case is not so fancy. But I guess one doesn’t use the case.
This is the way in Japan this holder is advertised:
“This clutch pencil is designed for those people who works in a construction site.
The grip is knurled head, comfortable to hold with gloves.”
So, with gloves it’s not that dangerous:)

Meant for use with gloves? That would explain it! :-)
Thanks, Nick!
