Takizawa — has any anyone ever heard of it?

I have this brushed aluminium 05 pencil with a “Takizawa” imprint. It feels like a Tombow or something similar. It’s far more substantial than a Newman or a Morison or a Fuji but far less compact than a Kokuyo or a Faber-Castell. It speaks to me of real estate agents or perhaps of a well-dressed man in a hotel lobby in Madrid doing crosswords and smoking one of those stinky Fortuna cigarettes.



Could never find any info on it.

If the brushing gives a very smooth finish, it’s Faber-Castell DS for sure.

If the same brushing process results in a slightly coarser grain, something one can barely feel when touching, to the point of seeming like a very smoothen out knurling, then it’s more akin to a rOtring fineliner MP — almost same appearance, but very different feeling under the finger tips.

PS: the picture evoked by @ulfesharpe looks absolutely spot on to me. :slight_smile:
