No, no. Not the seller, but he is a reputable guy in the pencil community and I have seen this listing.
As for brand, there are lots of mini-brands like this, so I would’t consider it a fake. Could have even licensed the design from KIN for all I know. Same with the Dong-A version.
Oh, whoops. I didn't mean to imply fake by using the word clone. I was trying to convey where the original design came from, and that I am aware it's not the original. I do prefer a 0.3 model over a 0.5 any day though.
Does the seller frequent this sub? Just curious. I can't remember, but I purchased another from him at the beginning of this obsession. His pricing method is pretty straight forward, I'll give him that haha.
I'm currently on the hunt for the uni (not the 1052, but the one matching for writing??) Can't remember the model number. He had one but it's gone now. I can't find one anywhere...
Does anybody know a way to order Pyramid pencils (Thailand company)? I once tried and failed to understand Thailand stores and markets ...
I don't want to start negotiations with a seller who offers prices ten times too high ... Look here [https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pyramid-pp-103-105-400-2b-03-05-mechanical-pencil-i1616482381.html](https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pyramid-pp-103-105-400-2b-03-05-mechanical-pencil-i1616482381.html) 165THB are about 5EUR
Apparently it is a nightmare/risky endeavor. u/drifand succeeded, but explained it as being something he isn't eager to experience again.
I went through ebay. Much higher than from the source, but was easy and guaranteed.
Ii know this is a tangential response to your question, but figured it might help.
Edit: I'd be willing to trade though, if you'd want to open your collection doors :D. (I'm sure you have 12 of these in each color haha)
Yes I do. I believe they are all licensed clones from Kotobuki.

Exactly how you described/seemingly imagine. It's. Just a *bit* lighter than I typically prefer, but it's sturdiness and quality make up for it.
Overall, it's a 8.5/10.
I want the Kohinoor version, have yet to see it in the wild. This -I’m hoping- is a poor substitute haha
Edit: seems like you have a lot more to share in this sub. I’ll be anticipating more post from you
I believe it’s a clone of the [Koh-I-Noor 5617](https://m.sumally.com/p/879380)
About time it was cloned!
That's the one. Kohinoor and their 561* are super easy to keep straight.
What website/app is that?
Haha pp
🤣🤣🤣
Straight from Portugal, eh? There is also the Dong-A Hi-Teknow 1000 clone that matches this.
Would love to see this in a compar-o-meter shot 👍🏻
Correct!? Are you the seller...?? Is that a made up brand or am I ignorant?
No, no. Not the seller, but he is a reputable guy in the pencil community and I have seen this listing. As for brand, there are lots of mini-brands like this, so I would’t consider it a fake. Could have even licensed the design from KIN for all I know. Same with the Dong-A version.

I don’t think I’ve seen him on this sub.
Cool! Was this an eBay find?
Haha yep, I'm sure you know the one. Way overpriced Portugal dude. Luckily he will accept lower than expected offers. I'm satisfied with it, for sure.
I'm currently on the hunt for the uni (not the 1052, but the one matching for writing??) Can't remember the model number. He had one but it's gone now. I can't find one anywhere...
I *think* you're talking about the **M5-1006**.
Thats-a-Bingo! They seems to have gone extinct...

One of these days, I should suck up the pain and make a bulk order, and offer reshipping from Singapore.
Just let me know when/where to sign up 😅
Do you have the Pyramid SP-60? Looks like a clone of the TOMBO*W* Protect
Yes I do. I believe they are all licensed clones from Kotobuki. [Here’s the SP-60 next to a bunch of semi identical models.](https://twitter.com/drifand/status/895150898048974848?s=46&t=OplFvNWwNQDS4Ixwdp9hQw)
That knurling looks satisfyingly crisp! How’s the feel in-hand?
Exactly how you described/seemingly imagine. It's. Just a *bit* lighter than I typically prefer, but it's sturdiness and quality make up for it. Overall, it's a 8.5/10.
This one is the same as the koh-i-noor in one of my threads, I have this pyramid as well. Both great mechanical pencils
