Interesting – are these 3rd party, or does Luddite supply optional parts?

I received a pearl black Pilot Fumi Raku today. I’m beyond hyped to add this unique pencil to my collection… I’m just still trying to figure out how to access the lead reservoir.
I love the weird clip, tapered middle section, angled, screw-down eraser cap, and overall silhouette of it.

Unscrew the outer halves. Then unscrew the chromed inner cap to refill.

I have the same thing happening on my black FR. But my white is as described. I don’t know if it’s because the metal cap is stuck upside the black top half, or that Pilot changed the mechanics between the white and black versions.

The cap is stuck up inside. It seems pretty difficult to get out.
Edit: Perhaps they changed the design because it doesn’t seem like it wants to come out. Also, I can’t spot an extra set of threads. Either way, it staying up there doesn’t at all affect the performance. I’ll just leave it be.

Don’t see much Schneider action around here 
Beautiful set! All so well taken care of. Can’t make out any signs of wear. 
What’s the topmost pencil? The rear plunger is so curiously long… housing a sharpener for the 2mm lead?

Thanks! Topmost one is not the pencil, but desk ballpoint pen, my favorite one - Pilot BDN-15.

Wow… remarkable how they designed it. It looks so much like a mechanical pencil to me, possibly a 2mm holder. I also get a little bit of a Mechanica vibe.

I’ve seen that second one on twitter. How is it?

It’s a great tool. I love it. It only comes in black and blue, but I think there may have been a red version. I think I saw it in an auction on Yahoo Japan once. The best ballpoint for me ever.

Heavy and unusual but liking it a lot.

I generally have little interest in 0.5mm, but here’s an exception and a seemingly rare find - Uni Boxy Shorty M5-215.
Not only have I never seen this M5-215 series or such a version of the Boxy logo before, but ‘‘BXSP3’’ probably implies there were SP1 and SP2 as well…
Might need to learn from a Boxy expert like @drifand
Plastic clutch is kind of a letdown though…
