Anyway, I’d say it’s one of those new metal Kurutogas with a proper tip

The overly-complicated tip reminds me of Ohto.

Possibly the tip is from another recent Mitsu…

Is it an early zebra tect2way?

I saw this listing earlier, this is a super niche brand I haven’t heard of until now. I would genuinely be surprised if someone got the answer, but the rest of the pencil looks pretty nice.
If it was my first time guessing, I would’ve definitely guessed ohto because of that tip design though.

I did create that image, making a montage of two images for the actual pencil. So it’s not fabricated. This is a real pencil – honest!
Nope. Not from the Zebra brand.
I’m not sure “niche” is accurate, but “small” is correct. I’d heard of this brand only once before, some years back when I was delving into Newman, LION, Morison, and Sakura.

It’s definitely worth saying that Morison are beautiful well made pencils at a decent price.

Mmm… 0.7 sounds like a US thing.
Could it be something from Berol/Sanford/Eagle? Does not really fit their main lineup, but maybe it is a special issue…
[I’m really shooting in the ark here: there are way too many small brands I don’t know. But this is fun!]

Good guess, but no – this is not a USA brand.
I will announce the brand with a full photo shot of the pencil later this evening (USA, EST).

This was up for sale by Yosshy… and I think it’s possible that he slipped in a shill bidder, as I’ve seen a number of his auctions have closing auction prices pumped by 1 transaction accounts, like hmz.
Lamy 2000?
