A compact and portable wooden ballpoint pen made from pruned wood (olive) in Palestine, the Middle East.
Whether it's a business scene or a letter to a loved one, you can face the text more carefully than usual.
The key point is the constriction that fits the hand, and we have received a good response for the size, fit, and just the right amount of weight when held.
Because it is an affordable price range among wooden ballpoint pens, high school and university students who passed by the Marche are also convinced of it and buy it.
Refills are Mitsubishi Pencil's 0.7mm lead (SK-8) (reference price 270 yen), CROSS (we do not provide information to customers because it is expensive), and unbranded inexpensive ones are also sold on the Internet. We also sell it on our EC.
This video shows how to change the refill (how to open the top).

◆About the material "olive"
Olives have been cultivated in Palestine, where they are produced, since BC, and there are also ancient trees that are thousands of years old. It begins to bear fruit in 5-7 years and is pruned after harvest to help growth after 30~50 years. Production organizations mainly use tree pruners that are more than 50 years old. The branches and trunks are passed on to lumber merchants or directly from farmers to workshops, where they are reborn as crafts and daily necessities. It is used as fuel in winter without throwing away even small wood.
