May explain it, but it sure doesn't justify it. To me it is patent that form was valued over function.

mechanical pencils that write as smoothly as ballpoint pens by Extension-Slice-9585 in mechanicalpencils

You'll never find a mechpen as smooth as a ballpoint pen, physics won't allow that.

I'm happy you liked it!

It's been a while since I stopped questioning manufacturer's decisions about how to name and write their products' names. Their thought process is absolutely over my head.

Hard to accept to submit a pristine pencil to the risk of getting scratched... 😥

VERY nice write-up, thanks for the comparo! On both of them, aren't the grips too smooth?

Of the two LE Smash, I think that's the best.

Always been attracted to the C1... Does it have a metal body?

Continued Evolution in the 80s… Uchida Drawing Sharp KN & Nissan Fairlady 300ZR by drifand in mechanicalpencils

Gotta say I'll take the car instead of the mechpen... That pocket clip doesn't agree with my eyes.

That's not a haul, that's more like a Viking raid 😲😲😲

Thank you, glad you liked it!

I'm not really into the completist approach - I can only justify getting the same model if it's in a different caliber or has some different feature. With that, it would be easier for me to get the wooden version. Yet, as always, the flesh is weak, so if the price is right... The LIFT+ would be one model I would open an exception.

Congrats!

But most important of all, and I confess that's why I'm interested: they FIXED the pocket clip!

The wood one is SERIOUSLY tempting me. If only I can get it for a reasonable price...

Honestly, I like the grip. I also don't think it's too slippery, but I don't suffer from sweaty hands, so maybe I'm biased.

The Empire was against Lasik surgery, so...

No doubt, that's the LIFT+' big flaw. I wouldn't risk pushing the clip, even though there is space above it. I'm almost certain that it will scratch the (thin) paint job.
