I’d like to call dibs on the Ohto Tasche, the Pilot 5000Y 0.5, and is that a Pentel Ceramicron pencil??

That’s the P125 and yes it goes with the Ceramicron.

Yes, that is a Pentel Ceramicon pair – the capped pen and the mechanical pencil, in box.
I do have more than one OHTO Tasche available, so I can set aside one for you. And also the PILOT Grandee L („5000). It’s a very solid and well put together executive style pencil (I have one in navy blue that I’m keeping, at least for the time being).

I have a bunch of the Ceramicron pens, but didn’t realize there was a companion pencil to go with it. Do you also happen to have any Ceramicron refills?

These look good. What are they?

That Parker looks to be a Insignia ‘grain d’orange’ model, probably produced sometime in the 90s.

Sadly, no. That’s the vexing thing about the Ceramicron – those proprietary refills, like the Rolling Writer. I wonder if anyone ever came up with a technique to refill them in a way that keeps them from leaking.

Sakura Create Sharp wooden series. I can’t remember what kind of wood they use. Someone here might know. They’re very well made. Pipe slide. As you can see, the design varied a bit. The clip and rear metal furniture aren’t the same. Also, one has a slight bevel to the center ring while the other is straight. The beveled one comes in the original box with „2000 price hang tag.

The second one without the hang tag may be a later ‘Slide Sharp’ model after Sakura decided to drop the ‘Create’ branding.

Unknown in pic 3 is a Platinum. This model also came in red and yellow textured finish (but I don’t know a model number or colloquial name).

Thanks. Yes, the top one looks more premium.

There is a full set on mercari, the description says “leather wrapped”. Is it really leather or just textured rubbery paint?

Nice catch!
I had no idea that they came in other colors. The “P” emblem is so small, I overlooked it. Definitely Platinum.
Leather? No. There’s no grain to it. I wouldn’t call it rubbery. It’s a textured coating of some kind, almost like a crinkle finish.

Definitely NOT leather. They have a roughed-up, textured finish.
