Yes. I finally find out, the stopper(plastic band) exist only for preventing lead from falling out. Except the lead’s stopper, all mechanism is as same as normal holder pen.^^

BlueWhale, the lead goes in the way it comes out – through the clutch mechanism.

Some 2mm leads have a plastic or metal band at their rear, which may be a safety measure against the lead falling out – these will have to be passed through the clutch with just a bit more care.

Hello. I bought Mitsubishi pure malt 2mm holder also.
I want to know how to replace lead exactly. The lead has some cap on it so I can’t take out lead from the pencil.

Thanks for all the comments. I concur on Bundoki’s excellent service.

I just looked up “Ujuku” – I wasn’t familiar with them, but I see they have some relevant items! :-)

Jim, eight months later, the leadholder is still in good shape, but the bottle seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way.

Hi Stephen, did you kill the bottle yet?

As “smooth as a Tombow 6B pencil”, I really like that touch though I think it would be lost on most fine spirits critics:>))).

Looking on the Ujuku ebay store, I noticed several other versions, including 0.5 mechanical pencils, in various shades of wood.

I ordered one from Bundoki based on what I saw and read here. Took 4 days to arrive and it is beautiful! The weight and feel is perfect for me. I think this will soon become a favorite to sketch with. Thanks for this review.

Another recommendation for Bundoki.com – I ordered one of these last week and got it yesterday, and they were very good at communicating with me. You just email them the part number for international orders and they take Paypal.

The pencil is excellent. The wood has a great feel and the woodgrain is more visible than in the pictures here.

According to another site, they use barrels from the Suntory distillery.

Thanks for the post, now I need to track down one of these pencils!
