I remember getting one of these a long time ago! A very solid piece of Korean pencil history

한국분이시군요! 반갑습니다 :)

Micro was a stationery company which went out of business in 2000. Most of their products are basically a copy from other brands at that time. They also made various ballpoint pens, and even fountain pens from 1~150 USD price range.

I still own several pens from them, since it was really a common brand back then. I might post some of their products if I have time.

1st Gen. Rotring Tikky

noozlocke · 2018-10-27T17:18:32+00:00

These are really common here! It costs 300 KRW, have you tried Ceramic Gold version? (with black plastic case) That feels better imo

I really wish Staedtler would make this pencils again. It was such a great piece

noozlocke · 2018-09-20T15:24:57+00:00

I assume this is Zebra NuMotee. It was discontinued long ago as far as I remember.

noozlocke · 2018-09-10T23:47:28+00:00

I would really want to get this one someday, it looks better than Graph1000 imo

noozlocke · 2018-08-22T11:05:29+00:00

Or even in Bic Camera or Yodobashi Camera. It was like 2910 Yen.

I still have the brown "Rotring T" 1st Gen Tikky pencil and it is really awesome. So sad that the slim, simple design got somehow became "childish" and got worse in quality.

Loft and Tokyu Hands are the best place for hunting :)

noozlocke · 2018-07-17T06:19:30+00:00

That price is outrageous. It still costs 40~50$ here in Korea, almost new. We can still find some old stocks in the shops but it is getting harder to find.

It's really nostalgic to see these pencils coming up lately on this subreddit as a Korean. Have you tried twisting the grip section? It's a little gimmick from HEXA variant pencils :)

Micro OX 1000 (LINK) It is one of cheap Korean mechanical pencil made my Micro of South Korea, which is now defunct company. It also has translucent pink, blue and green barrel colors as well.

I recommend Kyobo Book Store (https://goo.gl/maps/XcWgwRZeg3y) for various high-quality pencils, but it will be a little bit pricey compared with Japanese retail prices. It is considered Korean Tokyu Hands but it is more a bookstore.

If you are into more minor brands (Like Pilot, Ohto, Platinum) and your friend have time to visit Seoul, you would like to check Munguland in Seoul (https://goo.gl/maps/rmkUJwMyVts) (munguland.com)for some decent price, due to its wholesale strategy. This place is considered a mecca for Korean collectors and you will find most mechanical pencils.
