Anyone know more about the OHTO Titan?
Is the grip metal?
Schmidt style, P200 style or something else?
Can’t find much info.
And how much do they usually go for?

The body is said to be full titanium.
I’ve only seen the ballpoint version myself, so I can’t answer the other questions…

@drifand might know. I think he has one.
I have one too—I really like the design.
Some came as sets with ballpoint pens, while others were just the mechanical pencil in a different case.

The tip is retractable.
The grip seems to be made of metal as well.
Grip diameter: 8.3 mm
Barrel diameter: 8.9 mm

Very nice! I actually do not have a Titan. Many opportunities but never went for the bid or buy-it-now. I think it’s because I have handled so many of OHTO’s quirky creations, I have a good sense of what I might like or detest from their “creative against practical constraints” approach. In this case, the challenge of integrating a pen at the opposite end of a pencil has already been attempted by Pilot and Newman, neither of which was truly compelling to me, after the novelty wore off. The problem is always the too-small-to-be-worth-my time pen refill.

Wait, aren’t the Titan BP and MP 2 different standalone pens?
Thanks for confirming. Was there another pencil you have of a similar aesthetic in your collection?
There might be a double, but these ones are a set with one pen and one pencil.
Pretty sure the body featuring a symmetrical design is part of the confusion.
