Recently I bought one of the last Uni pencil holder and I must say: it’s wonderful! I’am left-handed so I cannot write with a fountain pen and this holder concatenate the best of both worlds: design and ergonomy of the fountain pen and versatility of pencils. Perfect grip, masterly balanced and of course it looks gorgeous.

I agree with Che Pablo regarding the F-C perfect pencil holder. I have both
the aluminium and sterling model. The market has borne to much when paying for these holders. The pencil value- quality/price – less then the Tombow or Hi Uni. I have ordered the Hi Uni Pencil holder through Boduki and should receive it in the next few days.

Wendell, I’m sure Stephen is aware of these, but BUNDOKI.COM also offers a celluloid extender, and a celluloid pencil case. To see the extender click the heading EKUSUTENDA… next to the wooden pencil icon in the far left column of Bundoki’s homepage. It is the fifth item from the top. You will find the pencil case by clicking the heading Penholder/pencil case/pen tray next to the calculator icon. It is item number one.

Bundoki’s red celluloid pencil case is very similar in pattern and hue to the celluloid of the red holder Stephen linked to in his reply. I like the looks of the Goujon holder more, but I prefer the gold clip on Bundoki’s. What puts me off the purchase of any of these products, and they are beautiful, is Bundoki’s caution concerning flammability, smell, and rather extreme plasticity–I am quite sure I read that celluloid deforms at 70 degrees Farenheit. I would certainly take the warning about direct sunlight to heart. During the Depression Era, several companies made astoundingly pretty celluloid radios in butterscotch and many other colors, but the heat from the tubes literally scorched and melted them. The high prices they command nowadays is certainly due to their beauty but it is no wonder pristine examples are rare given the fragility of the material. This is not a brief against buying celluloid, someday I will probably buy several of these items, it is an acknowledgment that care must be exercised in using and storing these objects.

Thanks, Wendell. Kossy had a post about these with several photos. Also, see here for the red version. Gojuon is a store I would like to visit! And take a look here (second photo) for an amazing wooden pencil extender.

You may also be interested in a celluloid model specially made for the pencil shop Gojuon in Tokyo. It seems cheaper and a bit more polished in design.

Robert, thanks for your comments. The chuck is metal, so it is capable of leaving a minor impression if thoroughly tightened.

I don’t know much about pencil holders (am a recent pseudo-convert to pencils), but this looks neat. It looks like it operates on a collet/chuck arrangement to hold the pencil in place, yes? Does it mar the finish of the pencil if you tighten the chuck too much?
