Wenn man diesem Beitrag auf Reddit Glauben schenken kann, stellt Pilot Japan die Produktion seines Druckbleistifts S30 in Kürze ein. Als Grund wird genannt, dass bei hohem Schreibdruck die Mine nicht mehr richtig gehalten wird und in den Stift zurückweicht. – Der in vier Farben, aber nur für 0,5-mm-Minen erhältliche S30 hat einen Holzschaft1 und bietet einen automatischen Minenvorschub2. Interessant zu wissen wäre, ob das Problem an der Automatik liegt oder nur die Zwinge zu schwach ist und wie es mit dem S30 weitergeht.
Bereits Ende des letzten Jahres hat Faber-Castell seinen Fallminenstift TK 9500 aus dem Sortiment genommen. Der TK 9500 kam im Herbst 1950 auf den Markt, war also gut 73 Jahre lang erhältlich. – Ein kurzer Beitrag zum TK 9500 folgt.
Einen interessanten Einblick in die Entwicklung und Herstellung von Radierern beim japanischen Unternehmen IWAKO bietet das Video „Process of mass production of erasers“3. – Danke an Stefan für den Hinweis!
Bei Sotheby’s wird ein mechanischer Bleistift versteigert, der von Fred Haise, dem Piloten der Mondlandefähre, während der „Apollo 13“-Mission genutzt worden sein soll; das aktuelle Gebot liegt bei 6500 US-Dollar. – Quelle: Reddit.
Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Druckbleistiften der „Kuru Toga“-Reihe von Mitsubishi/uni ist der Kuru Toga Metal nur in 0,5 mm, nicht aber in 0,3 mm erhältlich. Doch es gibt eine einfache Abhilfe: Da der Kuru Toga Metal die gleiche Mechanik nutzt wie der Kuru Toga KS und es diesen auch in 0,3 mm gibt, kann man dessen Mechanik in den Metal einsetzen. Wie das geht, wird in diesem Video beschrieben.
Über die Bezeichnung „Holz“ kann man hier streiten, denn es ist kein reines Holz, sondern ein Werkstoff aus verleimten Holzschichten, der sehr widerstandsfähig gegenüber mechanischer Belastung und Feuchtigkeit ist (der Hersteller nennt es übersetzt „kunstharzimprägniertes Holz“).↩
Diesen gab es erstmals 1979 mit dem Faber-Castell TK-matic, doch ich gehe davon aus, dass es konstruktive Unterschiede gibt.↩
Sad to hear that the TK9500 is going away. All the more so considering that lead holders are the only writing instrument that is going the way of the dinosaurs. Mechanical pencils, wood pencils, ballpoints, rollers, and fountain pens have all went thru revivals, but the venerable lead holder has been relegated to the dust bin of history.
Yes, that’s a real pity. The TK 9500 was something special, and not just because it had been around for so long. – I hope that that the TK 4600 won’t suffer the same fate.
It really looks like leadholders are becoming extinct. However, STAEDTLER has recently (?) introduced their famous Mars technico 780 C in two new colours (sand and rosewood). The Mars technico 780 is a classic, and I’m delighted that it’s still around after 50 years! (I would have appreciated it if the barcode wasn’t printed on the barrel – it was introduced with the black 780 C and the new clip with the hardness grades – but fortunately it can be removed with rubbing alcohol.)
Thank you for the IWAKO video. I don’t know why this surprised me, but I was amazed at how high tech eraser production is.
And Guillermo and Gunther, this morning I count 82 leadholders available at Jet Pens and 58 at Cult Pens. The drafting leadholder certainly isn’t enjoying peak market conditions, but the „non-drafting leadholder“ (a term I first read at the old leadholder.com) seems to still have life.
I’m glad to hear that you like the video! I was surprised about the technology too but given the complexity of IWAKO’s erasers (and injection moulding in general) I should have thought so.
Thank you for the figures which surprise me. I have to admit that I was too focussed on drafting leadholders in my assessment because I like and use them the most (so I forgot e. g. the STAEDTLER 925 25 20/925 35 20). However, JetPens lists each colour variant individually so the actual number is lower (e. g. the Mitsubishi/uni MH-500 is available in twelve variants). Nevertheless, it is good to see what’s still available.
Gunther: Yes, the TK9500 will be sorely missed as is the last field-size integrated clip lead holder that was sold by the two big German brands. Staedtler’s counterpart was discontinued a long time ago.
As for the 780, I like it a lot. Have at least a couple vintage versions, a current one and the black edition that I found lost on the street a while ago. But not really into collecting colors anymore. Fell for that trap with Lamy’s Safari and now I regretted. Would love for them to re-release their awesome Pan-Technico, thou.
Stephen: Yes, many of Jetpens offering are just variants over the same theme. But you got me intrigued and was glad to find that they seem to carry some of Koh-I-Noors lead holders now. That is probably the last brand that still has quite a wide range of lead holders available (2, 2.5, 3.2, 3.8, 5.6mm). Saw that they still sell the model 5616, which many years ago had a clutch that was able to take both 2mm and 3.2mm lead, hence the name Adapto. I was under the impression that newer models lack this feature, but at least on Jetpens description it is named as an Adapto.
The other thing thar confirms lead holders are going the way of the dinosaurs is that lead grades available are fewer and fewer as the years go by. Staedtler’s only go from 4H to 4B. Faber only goes from 4H to 3B with the 3.15mm leads for the softer grades (4B-6B) rarely available, if at all. Let’s not even talk about their 4.5mm leads or the flat ones that their TK9600 used.
Tombow and Uchida AFAIK, no longer manufacture leads or lead holders. Caran’s leads are also hard to find and not that wide in their grade gamut. They also discontinued their Museum 3.8mm watercolor leads many years ago along with its Fixpencil 44 lead holder.
Which counterpart from STAEDTLER are you referring to? The short 782?
The 780 is a classic! What’s your favourite variant?
Unfortunately the 5616 Adapto is currently not in stock at JetPens, and since it’s no longer listed on Koh-I-Noor’s website I’m afraid it’s discontinued.
In fact, the available lead grades are becoming fewer; even Mitsubishi/uni only offers 4H to 4B (but fortunately they still have F which I like very much). Yes, STAEDTLER has 4H to 4B but three intermediate degrees are missing (3H, F and 3B).
It’s sad that Tombow and Uchida don’t make leadholders anymore. Especially the ones from Uchida were amazing!
Speaking of Caran d’Ache: The long Fixpencil 77 is no longer available either. – By the way, I recently got the Fixpencil 884-160 (Junior?), and I like it.
Rotring still offers their 300 leadholder but its barrel is made entirely of plastic. I think this is Rotring’s last leadholder.
Yes that one (782), and the previous iteration (48002) that I own. Love the concept of those lead holders.
I prefer the vintage 780 lead holders. Not really sure as to the model years of mine, but they kind of feel a bit heavier and with a better balance than the current edition. The current 780 was the first lead holder in my collection and is also a favorite on my daughter. Bought one for her in elementary and she still uses it today!
As for the 5616, guess you went looking on the wrong place my friend: https://www.kohinoorusa.com/leadholders Koh-I-Noor USA was first bought by Rotring in the 80’s or 90’s, then it got absorbed by Sanford and then it was sold to Chartpak (current owner), different company than L&C Hardtmuth from CZ.
Even if it appears sold out is still listed -which is good. The other two versions of the 5611 are in stock. Meaning they might eventually re-supply. These lead holders are still made in Italy (got versions of them from the 70’s) and are still pretty much the same. The only meaningful difference, is that the current 5616 is not longer capable of accepting 3.2mm lead, but don’t know for sure.
Indeed my friend, leads are harder to come by as time advances. Guess that people value form over function, which is the only thing separating lead holders from all other writing instruments. Glad I managed to secure some Tombow Mono leads, but never one of their lead holders. Uchida is way out of my league in terms of price.
Caran and brands like Gilbert and their Criterium lineup, rarely show up on this side of the pond. Been hunting that Fixpencil 77 for quite a while but have never found one. As for the 884, I guess they reintroduced the model not long ago. I like it a lot since it resembles the grip of the Criterium (which is one of my fav lead holders), but I dislike the fact that Caran decided to put plastic everything inside of all their lead holders. And then to add salt to injury, jack-up the prices. I once commented on their IG profile about this and guess what? They deleted the comment and banned me from their profile!!!
I fell for one of the Häberli editions of the Fixpencil, but ended-up feeling scammed. Specially after I compared my old Bohemia Works Toison d’Or 5900 from the 60’s with the current KIN one, and found they are exactly the same. And the KIN is less than half the price of a current Fixpencil.
Indeed. The Rotring 300 is their last lead holder. You can still buy the Rapid Pro lead holder on Amazon, but I guess it’s the remaining stock.
Yes, the STAEDTLER 782 and 48002 are beautiful! As far as I know the 4800x were only available for a short time in the 1960s so it’s quite difficult to get them now.
I too prefer the vintage 780, also because of the marking and the shape of the first clip. However, I think the current one is very good too.
Thank you for the correct link to the Koh-I-Noor offerings! – The red Technigraph 5611 C looks appealing too.
Tombow lead holders are very hard to find nowadays except for the Monotech 500 (it’s the one with the dial on the barrel) which pops up now and then. However, I have never seen 2 mm leads from Tombow. Yes, Uchida leadholders have become very expensive but they are really something special. – Do you have the current Mitsubishi/uni MH-500 or its predecessor? Unlike the current model the end of the older one tapers toward the button which I find very appealing. It also has a metal inner tube instead of the plastic one in the current model, and recently I found out that there have been at least two different variants of the predecessor which differ in the threads (in the older one it’s made from metal).
I am sorry to hear about Caran d’Ache’s behaviour towards you. Their attitude is a bit special (to put it mildly) but blocking you because of criticism is not appropriate. – By the way, the grip of my blue 884-160 doesn’t have grooves in the grip like the other Junior models. It also has Japanese text on the back of the box so I wonder if this is a special model.
I also had my eye on the Häberli model, but then it was far too expensive for me. If you’re lucky you can get a vintage Mitsubishi Hi-uni holder for the same price, and that will put the Häberli in the shade, at least in terms of workmanship.
Recenty I rediscovered my Rotring 600 leadholder, and much to my surprise I learned that it’s still available in Romania, e. g. at deScris. However, they have only one left and it’s listed as unavailabe on the Romanian Rotring website.
Thanks for that bit of info on the 4800x series. Wasn’t aware of that. I happen to own 2 or 3 models of that series.
I own 3 different KIN 5611 lead holders. One metal-barreled with an Adapto clutch that takes 3.2mm leads besides the 2mm ones, another all metal version with a clip that seems to have been used extensively but that is a joy to see and use (and which came with a 2H lead sharpened as a chisel that now I replicate to create smooth textures and shading on my artwork; a hidden trick from the past preserved), and more modern plastic version. Perhaps not as great designed as their Staedtler or FC counterparts, but these are simple, reliable and functional -and far cheaper on eBay! Truly treasure my KIN’s (both US and CZ) lead holders.
I own a couple lead packs of Tombow MONO that I bought in a lot. They don’t feel much different than current Uni leads. I was expecting a difference like that found on a Tombow MONO 100 and a Hi-Uni, but there is practically none. And yes, I’ve seen the MONO lead holder you did mention. I own the mechanical pencil version of it in 0.5mm but that’s all. No other Tombow lead holder that I recall.
Also, yes I do own the MH-500 lead holder and also the FiELD version (which has incremental advance). I have used the FiELD one extensively, but not the MH for some odd reason. Saw the Hi-Uni lead holder you posted on a image here, and fell in love with it. Hopefully one day I will find one for me. BTW the late Sanford/ Berol Turquoise lead holder (now discontinued) bears a striking resemblance to the MH-500 and was also made in Japan.
Your 884 must indeed be a special edition cause all the images I’ve seen of the 884 (current and vintage) and even the 882, have the grooves on them. The weird thing here is that, as far as I knew, the grooves were the distinctive feature of the 884 series. I really love the vintage Caran lead holders. They seem to have quite a charm to them, but unfortunately, they were not imported to our shores. Or at least, I’ve never managed to find one here. And those that pop-up on eBay, command a hefty price and often times are not even in that great condition.
The 600 lead holder is quite nice. Probably one of the heavier lead holders that I own but its a pleasure to sketch with it. Always stays on my sketching folio. Glad you rediscover it!
Thank you for the details on the Koh-I-Noor lead holders!
I think that Tombow stopped making leadholders and 2 mm leads quite a while ago. Besides the Monotech 500 I have an unknown model, presumably from the late 1970s or early 1980s, with a metal grip and a slightly tapered plastic body. It’s nothing special in terms of design but it’s a pleasure to use. It’s a shame that Tombow doesn’t at least make one leadholder like Mitsubishi/uni!
The MH-500 looks quite boring but I like it (although I prefer its predecessor). By the way, I recently discovered a blue variant that is offered to craftsmen.
There are two vintage Mitsubishi/uni Hi-uni leadholders from the 1970s or 1980s which appear now and then on Yahoo Japan and Mercary, and both a very appealing. One can be seen at least partially in the photo at “17 Jahre” and the other is in the last photo at “Uchida Polymer HB”.
I have looked at the grip area of my Caran d’Ache 884 with a magnifier because I thought that the grooves may be blunted by the lacquer but that’s not the case – there a definitely no grooves.
Just found a couple of Hi-Uni lead holders for sale, but they fetch between $180 – 200 USD, which honestly I think its way too high. A few years back I might be willing to pay that much. These days I prefer to stick to what I have -which is a lot!
Can you take a pic of your 884 to check it out, please? Intriguing!

Of course these are high prices. Which Hi-uni leadholder were these?
I will take a photo of my 884 at the next opportunity!
Enjoyed reading those comments. Love to notice this true passion from the both of you! Stay eager.
Thank you, Wowter – I’m glad to hear that!
