MS01
Two questions:
What am I missing?
Can someone tell me the order the pencils were released?
I really like the Promecha and Super Promecha pencils. It’s probably because knurled grips are my preference and I like heavier, tip heavy pencils.
Thanks.
Missing the black Promecha OP-1000 with the rubber grip.
And the Super Promecha PM-1500S with the hex barrel.
Thank you
Do you know if they are released in numerical order?
I know the MS01 is the current model, but have the others been discontinued?
It’s… complicated. Gimme a moment to take a picture
OK,nothing fancy – just a quick phone snap.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
The missing NBP-1007M pen from the 2003-8 batch, and the related Conception from 2016, which came in 0.3 and 0.5 in a variety of colorways.
This description is correct about the main product, but you can refer to this for the release year 2004 Ohto
Most of the links in the page are still working, and you can see the changes in the pencil and ballpoint pen section too.
Good catch on the 2004 dates. I also use the Wayback Machine to hunt for catalog changes… but sometimes, I think the caching acts up
What’s interesting about the Flat-C is that the ‘flat clip’ mechanism was OEMd for MUJI as both a gel pen and double knock mechanical pencil. Would have been really interesting to see a Flat-C sharp as well.
It really is a shame OHTO never put out a FLAT-C sharp. After all, they’ve plenty of experience with double-knock designs. I’m sure they wouldn’t have had to reinvent the wheel.
Btw, do you know anything about this pairing? I can’t figure out if this was OEM by OHTO, or if done by a retailer.
