New Arrivals: Cool Stuff from Japan, Including Allex Scissors and Camel Pencils!

November 21, 2023

Finally, after nearly a year of working on this, I’m happy to announce that two of my all-time favorite stationery brands have arrived in the shop. As of this morning, we have a selection of Allex stainless steel desk scissors in three different sizes: the 7” Desk Scissors, the slightly smaller S-165 and S-165F (fluorine-coated) general-purpose office scissors, and the Allex Slim 100 portable scissors that are designed to fit inside a pen case, Traveler’s-notebook pouch, or similar stationery pouch.

Sharp, portable miniature (under 4”)? These are an excellent tool to keep in your bag.

Allex S-165F Office Scissors

Renowned for their sharpness and precision, Allex scissors are cut from a single sheet of stainless steel. The black fluorine-coated versions cut through tape and adhesive with ease. (I purchased a pair of the fluorine-coated desk scissors years ago from C.W. Pencil Enterprise and they remain my go-to cutting tool.)

Camel Pencils have long had a place in my graphite rotation. Featuring their signature integrated eraser that sits flush with the barrel (and does an effective job erasing to boot!), Camels are sleek, modern Japanese cedar pencils that leave a dark line and sharpen to a nice point with a long-point sharpener. Currently we have two natural-finished HB versions: the white eraser with a honey-gold tone, and the grey eraser with a lighter wood. In addition to selling these individually, we offer them in a pack of six, with three of each version.

Be sure to check out our 2023 Holiday Gift Guide! The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
