Setsu discloses outlet grading, random allocation and Japan-only delivery. - Author: Thomas - Tags: Small makers, Setsu [Setsu (工房 楔)](https://koubousetu.thebase.in/?ref=news.knockology.com) has opened an **October 15–18 lottery** for wooden mechanical pencils through its official online shop. The Japanese maker lists **12 numbered pencil lots, priced from ¥5,000 to ¥11,000 including Japanese consumption tax**, with results scheduled for October 19. The important detail is how this stock is graded. Setsu describes these lottery offerings as outlet products: typically pieces with less distinctive figure than its event and dealer stock, or minor issues such as bark inclusions, offered at lower prices. It says higher-grade examples sometimes appear too. Buyers are asked to watch the [maker’s video explaining the lots](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZALJb8oq2A&ref=news.knockology.com) with the sound on before entering. ## Choosing a lot is not choosing a particular pencil The numbers identify listings, not individual units. Setsu’s [lottery rules](https://koubousetu.thebase.in/about?ref=news.knockology.com) say a numbered lot can contain several pieces, and the individual pencil is assigned at random. Entering for the wood shown does not let a buyer select a particular barrel from that lot. Applicants may enter for more than one lot. Anyone who wins more than one must choose a single item to buy and notify the shop through its contact form; the remaining wins are cancelled. Entry requires card payment; debit cards are also accepted. The shop asks people to enter only if they intend to purchase: ordinary changes-of-mind cancellations are not accepted. For US readers, the limit is clear: **these listings do not ship overseas**. This is a Japanese domestic sale, with no US retail price or international ordering arrangement announced. The shop’s live listings remain the place to check the closing deadline and terms before entering. ## Different woods, different decisions The selection includes lace sheoak, karin burl, mahogany, black persimmon, figured sapele, wild cherry and zelkova. In the maker’s photographs, the differences are substantial: mottled red-brown burl, fine lines in the zelkova and broad dark bands across pale black-persimmon wood. This is a sale where the appearance of the individual barrel matters as much as the wood’s name. All 12 pencil listings are presented as **0.5 mm**. The silver-colored versions allow a requested change of lead diameter, subject to the maker’s listed options. The three gunmetal lots—10, 11 and 12—are limited to 0.5 mm. A fixed 0.5 mm tip is a separate purchase. The numbered pencil lots are pictured below; lot 8, the ¥11,000 black-persimmon example, is shown in the main photograph above. Prices include Japanese tax; delivery is separate where applicable. Each name links to its exact listing.
