Ohto Mechanical Pencil TL01-SP5 black

The Ohto TL01-SP5 is a mechanical pencil in miniature format – 91 mm long, just 3.7 mm wide and a mere 2.4 grams in weight. The aluminium housing with metal components feels cool and solid despite its tiny size, not like a disposable item. The companion piece to the TL01 ballpoint, for those who want to keep their entire carry with Ohto.

Features

• 91 mm total length – exactly business card format, fits flat in any card slot of a wallet or inside pocket of a notebook without adding bulk.
• Aluminium barrel with metal components – cool, smooth feel in hand; despite its light weight of 2.4 g, no cheap rattle because the metal parts fit together cleanly.
• 3.7 mm diameter at the grip area – slimmer than many standard ballpoint refills; sits precisely between two fingers, easy to control even for quick sketches.
• 0.5 mm lead – compatible with all standard 0.5 mm leads (HB to 2B), refillable at any time.
• Card holder included – flat sleeve in business card format enables secure storage in card slots, calendar covers or on notebook covers.
• Companion to the TL01 ballpoint – both models share shape, length and carrying system; can be used as a set.

Use & Tips

• Wallet as a pen case – simply slide into the card holder. If you carry a compact calendar or small notebook daily, you'll never need to search for a pen again.
• Sketches and quick notes on the go – the 0.5 mm lead is ideal for legible handwriting on small notepads, sticky notes or in miniaturised notebooks (A7, Field Notes format).
• Lead selection by use – choose a B lead for soft, flowing writing on smooth paper; for sketches with finer lines, HB remains the reliable choice. All standard 0.5 mm leads fit.
• Pairing with the TL01 ballpoint – both fit in the same card holder (one on each side), so pencil and ballpoint travel together in one card sleeve.
• Backup pen for your planner – thanks to the card format, the TL01-SP5 slips discreetly into the back pocket of many planner covers – no bulk, no slipping.

For Pocket EDC Enthusiasts

The TL01-SP5 belongs to a class of writing instruments where reduction itself is the design principle: no clip in the classic sense, no twist mechanism, just a push button and lead. At 2.4 g, you simply won't notice the pen in your wallet. Those who compare mechanical pencils of this size will find that many competitors are either made of plastic or weigh considerably more at similar lengths. The aluminium barrel of the TL01-SP5 remains pleasantly grippy – the slightly matted surface prevents slipping without requiring knurling.
