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 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

■■ Renkhe ■■
Although the tree is native to West Africa, it is extremely rare for the wood to be imported to Japan. It is used to make the djembe, a drum, and is characterized by its gentle texture despite its hardness. Many woods used for musical instruments are good conductors of force, and renke also has the characteristic of transmitting force along the wood fibers in a straightforward manner, making it easier to capture subtle changes in pressure.

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.


■The type of grips suitable for your work■

[Standard grip]
The Standard Grip, which has a light swing weight, is suitable for creators who use a lot of strokes to draw cartoons and illustrations.
Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Panit, Painter, MediBang Paint, SAI, etc.

[Thick Grip]
The thick grip with a low center of gravity makes it easy to perform fine pointing movements when using CAD, 3D animation, video editing, and photo retouching.
Adobe Illustrator, Blender, AutoCAD, Fusion360, Shade, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc.

For those who hold the pen between the crotch of the thumb and index finger with the thumb extended, changing to the [inverted type] may reduce sluggishness of the ball of the thumb and strain on the wrist.

■Customizing the side switch■
To prevent malfunctions caused by inadvertently touching the side switch, a type without holes is also available. The buttons can also be adjusted so that they do not respond unless they are pressed in.

■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.
