Ohto Wooden Mechanical Pencil WN02 burgundy (0.5 mm)

The Ohto WN02 is a mechanical pencil made from genuine cedar wood – hexagonal, lightweight, just 105 mm long. The barrel is a real pencil body made from incense cedar, carefully bored out for the push mechanism: wood feel without sharpening, endless lead. The burgundy colour is created by a finely lacquered finish that lets the natural grain of the wood show through.

Features

• Incense cedar barrel: The warm, slightly resinous wood feels dry and grippy in the hand – noticeably lighter than plastic or metal. At 2.7 g, barely noticeable in your pocket.
• Hexagonal cross-section: The classic pencil shape prevents rolling and gives your fingers natural grip points when writing.
• Push mechanism with brass ferrule: The push button and guide sleeve are made from brass – this gives the slender wood barrel stability at both ends and ensures precise lead guidance.
• Built-in eraser under the push button: The rubber eraser sits under the push button and is accessible once you pull it off. This simultaneously opens the lead shaft for refilling.
• Clip for A7 notebooks: The integrated clip made from SK steel holds the pencil securely in small notebook pen loops – perfectly sized for A7 format.
• 0.5 mm lead: The fine lead width is ideal for clear, precise lines – perfect for tight ruling, sketches and quick notes. Refillable with standard 0.5 mm mechanical pencil leads (60 mm).

Use & Tips

• Compact notebooks and planners: At 105 mm long, the WN02 fits into the pen loop of A7 and Hobo formats without protruding.
• Sketches and hand lettering: The 0.5 mm lead allows fine construction lines and clean guide lines for lettering – classic pencil look without sharpening.
• Refilling leads: Pull off the push button, remove the empty lead, insert a new 60 mm 0.5 mm lead, reattach the push button. Done.
• Replacing the eraser: The small rubber eraser can be purchased separately – an advantage over integrated, non-replaceable erasers.
• Carrying and storage: Thanks to the clip, the pencil can be clipped to notebook covers, shirt pockets or binder dividers without slipping.

For Pencil Enthusiasts

The WN02 is literally made from a genuine pencil blank: a hexagonal incense cedar rod – the same type used for traditional wood-cased pencils – is carefully bored out and fitted with the push mechanism. The result is not a plastic pencil imitation, but an object that smells like cedar wood, feels like it and looks exactly like it – but never needs sharpening. Incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) has been the standard wood for wood-cased pencils for decades: lightweight, stable enough for thin wall thicknesses, and pleasantly fibrous to the touch – or in this case, to your fingers.
