Do the E models have the “5” under the sticker?
Have you ever seen an E with the JIS Permit sticker?
Thank you!
Here is my next video.
I’m going to make it public tomorrow afternoon, so please let me know if you see any egregious mistakes.

Watching now.
Not a big deal but your voice cuts out at 2:12

Thanks. I had recorded the voiceover on the box parts one at a time. On each I had the word “pencil” which was sounding redundant so I edited it out (poorly 
)

Super great video! What you’re doing is so good and so valuable. I like how you put it next to a P200. Most everyone is familiar with those so it’s a great “banana for scale” illustration. I remember the first time I saw one of these it was smaller than I expected.
The green is by far my favorite one I own.

Thank you! I feel like I’m getting the swing of it.
I am getting faster at putting these together so hopefully will be able to stay in a weekly schedule

Can’t wait to see a Pentel Iris video. It’s by far (minus my passion for PD345 because of childhood memories) the coolest pieces Pentel ever made and the world needs to know about them.

Check and see if your video editing software has an option for you to limit or reduce background noise on all of your audio clips. We can sometimes hear a change in the audio when you punch in when the background is different. An air conditioner is usually the culprit. I recently recorded the audio version of a book I wrote and so many clips the damn air conditioner was running, but I was able to fix it with a background noise filter on the audio clips.

For sure. Probably a space heater.
I’m definitely dealing with some hearing issues so I wasn’t aware it was so noticeable. Thanks for letting me know.
I had that background music blaring in my first few videos to help cover it up, but I’m sure anyone with a discerning ear will still hear it.
I am also working around my dogs barking and lately a murder of crows have been hanging out (loudly) in my yard.
I have the noise reduction on, so I’m going to have to work on dampening the ambient noise.

I can let you borrow a set for a few months.

Hey thank you!
That is a generous offer.
I will handle with extreme care 
I could probably knock it out and return them to you in just a few weeks at the most

I have no rush. They sit in a dark box just begging for a reason to see some photons.

Looks great. As far as I can tell, Pentel started putting the date code on the pencils because it was required (at that time) by the JIS standard.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.
This is something I’m coming to savor for the weekend, when my brain is detuned from work and world news…

Hey!
Do any of you have a black, blue and/or green OHTP SP-5? Or, have a picture of all 5 colors? I have seen an image with all 5 colors, but can’t seem to find it again
If so, can you send me a picture?
I have a red and brown, but wanted to include a picture of the complete set.
