Pros

Add lead, reassemble and carry on using a dandy well priced mechanical pencil. I love mechanical pencils that never need sharpening. Only thing better than these is a few micron pens when you need to have ink to jot or draw something you are working o... Read More

This style is my very favorite. The pastels are such beautiful colors! It’s elegant and timeless. The ones from sakura are great.

Cons

Pentel pencils are wonderful, but this one has a built-in flaw. Only a few have the flaw of this a sticky sticker containing the upc number runs down the barrel of the pencil. The barrel is just unpleasant to the point of being unusable.

Skip this one and avoid disappointment. The lead no longer feeds. It seems like the lead over time lubricates the interior to the point where there is no friction.

Quality

But you can't beat the quality, these are top of the line.

I appreciate that the pencils are still made in japan and that's probably why the quality has been maintained.

The quality seems the same though i used .

They might have gotten it in the early 1942 before my dad went to fight in the pacific during wwii with the marines.

Competitiveness

I've preferred these as they are comparitively low maintenance.

Bought as a cheap throw away for my field kit (wildlife biology) incase it was lost.

I only like to use this brand and not other brands.
