The grip dimensions and inner diameter of each pen are different, so the pen cannot be used for other models.
Please be aware that forcing the pen onto another model may cause it to break or become unstable.

■■■Product Description■■■

Wacom tablet pens have the disadvantage that the grip part becomes slippery and sticky after using it for a while due to age-related deterioration.

By replacing the old rubber grip with a wooden grip, you can keep the pen from slipping even when your hands sweat, and you can maintain a firm writing feel even after working for a long time.

Unlike soft rubber grips, wooden grips do not allow force to escape, so writing pressure is fully transmitted even when the grip is reduced.

Although the texture of the wood gives it a heavy appearance, it is actually 40% lighter than rubber grips, which means lighter strokes and less stress on the fingers.


■■■Wood species of this product ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

■■ SOPHORA ■■
A broadleaf tree of the Fabaceae family native to Hokkaido. Ainu (=native japanese) name chikupeni. It is the tree in which the strongest Ainu tree deity resides. A slow-growing tree, it is characterized by its hardness and tight grain. It is considered a tree of good luck because the sound of “Enju” is connected to “Enju” (longevity), and in the Tohoku region, it has been used to ward off evil spirits because of the character “Enju” (槐). The wood has a beautiful luster when polished carefully.

It has been used as a hatchet handle since ancient times.

The pen barrel can be customized not only with the same shape as the genuine pen, but also with a thicker diameter, a triangular shaft, or a hexagonal shaft, so you can choose the one that best suits the way you hold the pen.

■Wooden grips are recommended for the following people.■

Illustrators and CAD operators who are forced to work with pen tabs for long hours.
Those who are concerned about stickiness due to hydrolysis and slippage caused by sweaty hands.

Those who want to change the center of gravity and shape of the pen to reduce the burden on their wrists and fingers.

You may want to change to a wooden grip with a natural texture to enhance your motivation to create. You can also give it to a colleague or fellow illustrator as a thoughtful gift.

■About the surface finish■
Matte finish: 10 layers of nitrocellulose lacquer used for violins and guitars. The smooth feeling continues even after long hours of work without stickiness.

Beeswax Finish: A wax made by our own formula is applied to the solid wood. The natural feel of the wood can be felt directly on the surface of the wood.

Varnish finish: Five layers of anti-slip top coat are applied on top of nitrocellulose lacquer used for violins and guitars. Even those with dry skin will find it hard to slip, and it has a luxurious glossy finish. Please allow a little time for delivery.
