Miko is a subsidiary of Micro, that focused on making fancy goods.

In other words, Miko and Micro are the same company so I introduce both brands pens at once.

This is Miko's Genuine mechanical pencil.

It is placed inside the lavender colored box with its name on it in gold color.

Its price was ₩5000.

Considering its old age, it wasn't a cheap model at that moment.

One can expect this pen would have the quality comparable to Micro's Jedo 5000, which had the same price.

The inside of the case.

The same letters are here again.

Well, the appearance looks nice.

Streamlined slim body with lavender color as a main choice.

In the middle of the pen, a thick ring of pink color exists, tattooed its name on it.

The full letters are "genuine mechanical pencil 0.5".

Genuine and Miko's names on the gold clip.

The back-end of the pen is rounded gold colored metal.

Uncommon design frontal part.

The curve continued from the barrel keeps unbent to the cone, and ends naturally.

Most mechanical pencils have pointed cones, but this model has a round cone.

The eraser is located inside the backside with a cleaner pin.

The next mechanical pencil is a cheap model of Micro.

Its name is Cistern, and it has blue-green colors in general.

Micro mechanical pencil 0.5, and KS mark.

The front part is made of plastic in blue color.

"Cistern, school for good community."

What did you mean by this sentence Micro?

There is also a unknown drawing.

Can you find its connection to its name, Cistern?

Well, at least the color can be connected to the water tank somehow.

Taking its name into account, the symbol could look like a water droplet falling from a pipe in a very biased view.

This part is a transparent plastic in green color.

The clip and other metal parts are sliver colored.

This is Micro's Gemini mechanical pencil.

Micro made a similar mechanical pencil with the concept of star sign.

This one has nothing to do with that pen though.

I have no idea why Micro named this model Gemini.

Micro's name on the short clip.

It emphasizes the word "pearl," and the body shines like a pearl.

I have blue and pink colors, but there exist more colors.

The last model is Micro's Claire mechanical pencils.

They come in gold and silver colors, and have a very slim and short shape.

Micro ♀️ Claire.

How the backends look like.

The frontal parts.
