The pencil with no ferrule. Integrated eraser, perfectly balanced, made in Japan.
Why This Exists
Made by Camel, a small family-owned Japanese pencil manufacturer since 1949. The Camel pencil is famous for one thing: a unique eraser design that fits like a cap directly onto the barrel — no metal ferrule, no waste, just perfectly balanced writing.
The eraser sits flush with the hexagonal cedar barrel, giving you the lightweight feel of a ferrule-free pencil with the practicality of an attached eraser. Smooth Japanese HB graphite writes dark lines that erase cleanly. It's a modern take on a classic tool, executed with 80 years of Japanese craftsmanship.
What Makes It Good
No-ferrule design — eraser integrates directly into the barrel like a cap
Perfectly balanced — lightweight feel, no metal bulk at the end
Smooth HB graphite — Japanese core, dark lines, stays sharp
Hexagonal cedar barrel — beautiful grain, clear lacquer finish
Grey latex eraser — works from any angle, firmly attached
Made in Japan — Camel craftsmanship since 1949

Amazing!!!!! there is nothing like this store in Hamilton or even Auckland, speciality stationery and so much of it is Japanese, my fav! Very cute store. Penco, Midori, Supreme, Moleskine, etc. inside an old fashioned arcade, easy enough to find.

Tom stocks some of the best quality and designed stationary products you can find in New Zealand. His customer service is also top draw and excellent. I had a few issues with a pen I had bought, Tom offered some tips to help work through and after that didn’t work he offered some store credit to try something else. I would highly recommend and will be making sure to buy as much of my stationary products as possible from SuperKiosk in the future! Keep up the great work Tom!

Such a great find! Love their range - quality stationery you don’t see everywhere. Service was awesome—ordered at night, shipped the next morning, and arrived the day after. Will definitely shop here again.
