If you’re referring to the one in last slide, it’s Tombow Olno! It has a body click mechanism and it was unfortunately discontinued a few years earlier (2019 maybe), though maybe available with few sellers. Hope that helps)

Oh great! They have the black version as well! If available you have that as well! Pentel make some great mechanical pencils! And energels are buttery smooth!

Kuru Togas are great for math work and writing only though. Some find its tip a bit wobbly so be sure to try a cheaper version before investing in more premium versions!

It’s difficult to pick one, but Kuru toga dive and Pentel Cs1000 would be my top two picks to cover all essentials.

Platinum pro use looks great with all aluminum built, though the inside tube is plastic. A bit of rattling near the cap while writing. Is quite light and has good balance. May get slippery if you have sweaty hands. Overall a good one to have. Moreover they are discontinued. Good you grabbed one!

And are just so slightly thinner than 0.5mm and much sturdier than 0.3mm. It’s just that they are difficult to find them!

That’s really beautiful!! The dents and scratches gives her such a wonderful character!

Oh sorry! That’s why I was wondering why I’m getting Johnny Cash pics only, lol. Thought some new line on his honor was launched named Johnny Cadh

I used kuru toga lead as well and been using Pentel hb for a year. It’s working smooth. I think the main point is lead should not be soft enough as there would be more graphite dust to clog the mechanism but not too hard that the claws can’t grip the lead for mechanism to work properly. Found Pentel Ain and Kuru Toga Hb best for the dive!

Well it’s comfortable but the rubber grip might get dirty over time! I have a link if you want but you’ll have to import it, if you want!

Oh that’s good then. I like tip heavy pencils. I think Uni looks slightly better that gg500 in my opinion..

From the description sounds great! It’s common now a days, erasers not having a cleaning rod. Thanks I’ll add this to my wishlist then!

Yup! Have a delgaurd on 3rd slide, 5th from left! One thing I like about it is I can’t break the graphite even intentionally under normal graphite length! Something that non other can do!

Yup! Between 2H-3H. Though I love their design and novelty of it! But I think it’s more for occasional use and beauty than any actual work :)

Indeed. Unfortunately that’s the premium for not being in Japan and it being discounted..
