A walnut barrel is coming to a familiar drafting-pencil silhouette. A September-dated Staedtler Japan news sheet reproduced by Cuirassier Total Stationery lists the 925 35 BAUMGRAPH, a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil priced at ¥6,050 including Japanese tax, with shipment planned for late October 2026.
The document is issue 2615 of Staedtler Japan’s NEWS series. We have reviewed the reproduced sheet; a manufacturer-hosted copy has not yet been located. Its timing is a shipment plan, rather than a guaranteed date for every retailer to have stock.
Walnut, with the drafting hardware intact
The sheet traces the design to the long-running 925 25. BAUMGRAPH changes the barrel material to natural walnut while retaining a metal knurled grip and a window for marking lead hardness. The name joins Baum, German for tree, with the “graph” in Lumograph.
That combination is the interesting part: the wood gives the pencil a different appearance without replacing the textured metal surface where your fingers sit. Grain and color will vary from pencil to pencil. This is a material change you can see; whether it changes the writing feel is something a specification sheet cannot settle.
There are small details to notice, too. The barrel logo is laser engraved, the clip carries the Mars-head emblem, and the push-button decoration pairs that emblem with rings inspired by tree growth. The walnut has a clear coating intended to protect it from moisture; the sheet still instructs users to dry it if it gets wet.

A paper gift box is included. More usefully for a pencil intended to stay in service, the sheet lists a replacement nose and a 92R replacement eraser at ¥440 each including tax. The combination of presentation packaging and listed service parts is worth noticing: there is attention to both giving the pencil and keeping it working.
For US readers, this is Japanese-market pricing and timing. The reproduced notice does not establish a US price or US distribution schedule, and a currency conversion would not be a US retail quote.
