This knock-style wooden lead holder was created for those who prefer the feel of a wooden hexagonal pencil while enjoying the convenience and the advantage of a mechanical pencil. The lead holder has a natural wood body of premium American Cedar with its rich warm wood finish. The barrel diameter is slightly larger than a regular pencil to accommodate for adult hands. Its light weight and excellent balance make it easy to use for long periods without fatigue. The well-engineered clutch will hold the 2mm lead securely in place without slipping, no matter how much pressure is put on the lead. Located on top is a simple mushroom shaped knock button to release and return the lead back into the holder. The high-quality, Japan-made #1 B black lead is crafted by uniformly mixing pure graphite and clay, to achieve the ultimate resilience to breaking and the perfect smoothness. One 2mm #1 pencil lead is already included inside the holder. A unique and convenient lead sharpener is also included, which features a leaf shaped spring that has four cutting edges instead of a single blade. You can sharpen the lead by twisting it from left to right. Perfect for writing, sketching and drawin, etc. Available in natural wood color, indigo (blue) and madder (red). Refill leads are available in packs of 5 in a sturdy cylindrical cardboard holder. ## Features - Wooden mechanical pencil with the look and feel of a classic wooden pencil / Natural Wood Barrel - Hexagonal wooden holder made of premium American Cedar (eco-tree) - 2mm, No 1 pencil black lead (#1 B) included / A unique and convenient lead sharpener included - 2011 JAPAN STATIONERY OF THE YEAR Awarded - Lead refills available / Made in Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Adult | | Asin | B005N3NQHS | | Best Sellers Rank | 17,909 in Stationery & Office Supplies (See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies) 77 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Hexagonal | | Brand Name | Kitaboshi | | Closure Type | Button | | Colour | Natural Wood | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (41) 4.8 out of 5 stars | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04972572199528, 07931875412670 | | Grip Type | Hexagonal | | Hardness | F | | Included Components | Mechanical Pencil | | Ink Colour | Black | | Is The Product Left Or Right Handed | Ambidextrous | | Item Diameter | 2 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 20.6 x 5.3 x 1 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Kitaboshi 2.0mm Mechanical Pencil, Wooden Barrel, With Lead Sharpener, #1 B, Black Lead, 1ea (OTP-680NST) | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Line Size | 2mm_and_above | | Manufacturer | Kita-boshi Pencil, Co, Ltd. | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | pencil | | Model Number | OTP-680NST | | Recommended Uses For Product | School | | Special Features | Refillable | | Style | Mechanical Pencil 2mm with Sharpener | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upc | 793187541267 | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Kitaboshi - **Colour:** Natural Wood - **Ink colour:** Black - **Material:** Wood - **Model name:** pencil - **Point type:** Chisel - **Special feature:** Refillable - **Unit count:** 1.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Kitaboshi 2.0mm Mechanical Pencil, Wooden Barrel, With Lead Sharpener, 1 B, Black Lead, 1ea (OTP-680NST), natural wood color w/sharpener - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W4h-q96xL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Colour Name, Style Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this hold the Niji colored leads (Yasutomo & Company)?** A: For as long as they are 2.0mm in diameter, you will have no problem. The Pencil is quite large in length, so far it has accommodated all the leads in my stash: Steadtler, Uni Mitusbishi, Rotring and Maruzen Arts. **Q: How many pencils do you get? what color leads?** A: Its just one pencil and a peice of HB lead. It comes with its own lead sharpener wich is nice since it won't fit in to a barrel Sharpener. **Q: Do these come in other colors, particularly metallic colors?!** A: Not metallic. This is a wooden lead holder, meaning it’s meant to be appreciated as that. There are colored versions available from Kitaboshi and another brand called Penco **Q: Will this work with prismacolor turquoise lead refills?** A: No. It will not. For some reason the Turquoise 2mm leads are ever so slightly thinner than other 2mm leads (I know, I know... 2mm should be 2mm) and they fall right out. It works fine with other 2mm leads I have tried. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality pen *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 March 2026* Good pencil with excellent grip. Lovely packaging and it is exactly as described. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Traditional feeling pencil *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 May 2026* This mechanical pencil has become my go-to. As someone who doesn’t typically like using mechanical pencils this was exactly what I needed. The wood barrel makes it feel like a traditional pencil and a more natural grip. It’s about as heavy as a regular pencil too despite the metal parts. It takes 2mm lead which I love, again because it feels more like a normal pencil. It’s easy to sharpen the lead as it comes with a lead sharpener. It’s very durable, this is my second time purchasing.Honestly my favourite drawing tool. The lead feels snug when drawing so no shaking of the lead inside making annoying noises. Personally think it’s great value for money and a steal. I recommend it to all my artist friends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice Pencil *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 August 2025* Very nice Pencil!I love the Metal Mechanism and hexagon Wood combination! feels great!With every Click- the Lead will extrude 2mm and the "Click" Sound is very satisfying in my Ear.The Sharpener is very smooth, love it!As i put the Pencil unsecured in my Bag with other Stuff- it happened to split the wood at the Front and the Mechanism detached of the Wood Barrel so I put a "sailsmakers whipping" (1mm waxed nylon braid) around the Wood- that will prevent the Wood from Splitting any further and holds the Mechanism back in place, no Glue! thanks to the thread.The Barrel is out of Softwood and feelsl ike Varnish (i dont like Varnish, feels like Plastic and is slippery). My next Project is to replicate it out of Rosewood and finish it off with Tungoil, witch feels amazing- im very excited already xx)))Once, i managed to get Water inside the back and the Cardboard Spacer got soaked and was mushy so i cut abit off and fitted all good again, but i will replace that with a Metal Cylinder.Thank You Kitaboshi ! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kitaboshi 2.0mm Mechanical Pencil, Wooden Barrel, With Lead Sharpener, #1 B, Black Lead, 1ea (OTP-680NST), natural wood color w/sharpener - Kitaboshi Holder Refill, 2mm HB, 5 Leads (OTP-150HB)×3 Pack/total 15 Leads (Japan Import) [Komainu-Dou Original Package] - Mitsubishi Pencil Pocket Sharpener DPS6001P For Sharpener Uni 2.0mm Wick Holder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/51068895-kitaboshi-2-0mm-mechanical-pencil-wooden-barrel-with-lead-sharpener](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/51068895-kitaboshi-2-0mm-mechanical-pencil-wooden-barrel-with-lead-sharpener) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
