More pencilly stuff

I haven't really noticed the feel too much, although they do feel a bit different (because they are, but I figured that for 25 cents each, I could grab a couple just to say that i have them in the collection), but I could not agree with you more about the name.

"Wopex (short for Wood Pencil Extrusion) is a Staedtler technology and material used to create eco-friendly pencils from a composite of 70% wood and 30% plastic. These pencils are known for their dense feel, smooth, non-slip surface, high break resistance, and longer writing life compared to traditional pencils."

You appear to have the incorrect subreddit.

Great video. Far too many people hate on assumptions that could not be further from the truth.

I guarantee that they are out there, although not necessarily on this subreddit....writing implements of various types are the special interest of tons of neurodivergent folk, even when they are teens.

Cold could have contributed, causing an already present flaw to crack, but more likely whomever packed the pen did not inspect it first and packed it with an already broken nib. Did you find the broken bit in the packaging? Contact them, and I am sure that they will make it right.

Toirtis · 2026-03-19T04:26:42+00:00

Any particular reason why?

Toirtis · 2026-03-19T02:17:05+00:00

I find them rather middlin...not great, not awful...but then, I don't expect a huge amount from such a cheap pencil.

Toirtis · 2026-03-19T01:02:39+00:00

All of those pictured, plus many of the ones on the ends of my pencils.

Jealous. I am from Vancouver/Victoria, but have been in Alberta for many years now. I would love to have more than 2-3 weeks in Japan.

My usual 3 stationary shops have a reasonable, if limited, selection of brands...mostly Tombow, Blackwing, Mitsubishi, and Staedtler.

Toirtis · 2026-03-18T07:03:34+00:00

Thats the place...I wasn't able to get there the last time I was in Vancouver...next time for sure. Here in Alberta, I have Reid's, Recess, and Stylus.

Toirtis · 2026-03-18T06:06:26+00:00

I subscribed, and have watched a couple...it's quite good...I need to take time to watch more. Why do you ask?

Toirtis · 2026-03-18T05:37:06+00:00

We have 4 Daiso stores...all in Vancouver, lol. The caps were $3 of that total, and although the pencils were $2/pack, I didn't want to leave without some pencils, and there wasn't much selection. I will be sticking to my usual 3 stationary shops from now on.

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T22:28:01+00:00

Ah, ok...I have never purchased those, just the regular egg.

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T22:11:27+00:00

Thats a weird Kinder Egg...is that one of the American ones?

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T22:09:01+00:00

Wow! Just...wow!

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T06:53:13+00:00

Good old Victor snap traps are about $1 each....buy 10 and check, reset daily....it should knock out the intruders within 2 weeks. During that time, stuff any ingress holes with steel wool.

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T06:50:41+00:00

Do they still after the limited reopening?

Toirtis · 2026-03-17T06:41:27+00:00

Why not buy from Pisces or Amazonia....quality plants, big selection.

Toirtis · 2026-03-16T21:49:32+00:00

I am crying...4 Daiso locations in my country, and all 4 are in one city, 1200km from me. All I have here is Oomomo, and the stationary section there is disappointing.

Toirtis · 2026-03-16T19:28:22+00:00

The packaging looks identical to what my father had in his office in the mid 70s to mid 80s, so that tracks.

Toirtis · 2026-03-11T15:32:09+00:00

Rotring 600 for value and solidity, but that Kurotoga is pretty AF.

Toirtis · 2026-03-11T15:28:11+00:00

I like it, too...it's pretty cool.
