Nobody mentioned these while they were up for auction, but I [1] love body knocks and [2] was intrigued by these because I’d never even heard of a Pentel body knock before.
They appear to have excellent constructions, fine finishes, and lovely tips I’ve never seen on any Pentels before.
Low-key feels like I scored a helluva deal, but I’m curious what y’all think.
We rapped about those in the live chat.
Are you grabbing?
Looks like you grabbed! Awesome!
That was the problem I had with these being identified as Pentel. The ONLY thing I see that looks remotely Pentel is the text in photo 6.
Are we sure those are body knocks?
Yes, that internal mechanism is only found on body knocks. Also, I don’t see a push knock anywhere, but the internals are the giveaway.
I agree the absence of Pentel branding is odd, but the printing in photo 6 is also unmistakably Pentel in origin. Here are other auctions for WINDOM pencils:

As far as I can tell, these are legit pieces. The next step is to find a catalog that mentions them.
That’s the only Pentel body-knock, isn’t it? If yes, I would guess it’s basically a Kokuyo?
The body shape looks identical to the most executive-looking Kokuyo body knock (there are 4 distinct styles of Mistrals; the Pentel matches the most sophisticated, corporate-looking style).
yeah, Im sure those are body knocks!
Nice score on those. Hadn’t seen Pentel use this body knock design on any other models, so I also have to wonder if this was outsourced from another maker, like KOKUYO. Looks somewhat like a later Mistral.
Looks like the PS-10X series of Mistrals
