This is a custom-made version of the "PG5-AD," a masterpiece that has been a favorite drafting mechanical pencil for many years, now with a wooden barrel. It features a seamless, beautiful form that tapers towards the tip. The wood type is a burl of Taxus florinii. Taxus florinii is a very rare tree native to regions of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China, at altitudes of 2500m or higher. It is a conifer, a species close to pine, and of the same genus as the Japanese yew. Despite being a conifer, it has a fine-grained texture and density, and its color is particularly noteworthy. The color varies depending on the individual, ranging from purple, red, and orange. The purple is strikingly beautiful, and combined with the strong luster unique to burls, it is a natural beauty that is hard to describe. The PG5 has been a long-selling product for over 50 years, and its light writing feel and fatigue resistance are supported by many people. The wooden barrel customization by Takamura Moku Koubou draws out the original charm while adding the warmth and texture unique to wood. Designed to maintain the slim silhouette of the PG5, metal parts are used to a minimum. By utilizing genuine parts, the finished weight is kept to approximately 12-14g. The center of gravity is adjusted to be at the grip position, naturally fitting the fingers and providing a light writing feel that lasts. The wooden barrel part can be removed and replaced. Penetrating inorganic glass coating is used for the surface finish. It penetrates the wood and adheres to the glass, providing high hardness, water resistance, and stain resistance, and can be used for a long time without maintenance. If handled properly, it is resistant to scratches and can maintain its beautiful condition. *Please be aware that strong impacts and rough handling of the clip can cause damage. This is a custom-made product by an individual. To keep costs down, a box is not included, and it will be delivered in simple packaging. While we have taken every precaution in production, there may be minor scratches or imperfections in the finish. We are offering it at a reduced price, so please purchase only if you understand this.
