That pencil extender, and many others, is available on a very easy to navigate site here: http://www.pencils.jp/product-list/4

I bought a Staedtler pencil holder from eBay and since the seller was from Japan, I took my chances and asked him about the Ito-ya pencil holder and he said I could get anything from the catalogue through him – http://www.ito-ya.co.jp. Lucky for my bank account, I had trouble navigating the site because of the language problem and only asked him to get me 2 styles of pencil holders. The one shown above and another Ito-ya. His shipping price to Australia for the Staedlter was reasonable. It’s Nick at One-Stop-Japan-Shop on eBay.

I have the Kutsuwa STAD pencil holder RH009 which is a cheap but brilliant and simple design – the pencil slides into the first piece (like a regular holder) then a second piece screws over the top of this first piece to secure the pencil. You would think this would be a bulky solution but is 12mm diamater and well within my comfort zone. These are plastic but if treated kindly and not overtightened should give plenty of service. By the way STAD is the student line from Kutsuwa – but don’t let that fool you – this product is good and very practical. It can also be used as a pencil storer by sliding the pencil tip first into the first piece and screwing on the second piece as above.

From…. KINOKUNIYA.

I’d love to give that a try. Can’t seem to find it anywhere though.

Thank you for the comments. Unfortunately, I am not aware of an online retailer that ships these pencils worldwide.

Thanks for the detailed review of that very interesting pencil holder. The minimalistic design is very pleasing, and using the thread as the grip is very clever. Is there an online retailer that ships this pencil holder worldwide?

Thanks for the thorough and informative review. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for them the next chance I get to visit a Japanese stationery store.
