Palomino Blackwing

Palomino Blackwing

quite nice pencil, but unfortunately not available in India. I have only seen the pictures and read the reviews.

Blue P51 with 0.9mm, 2B lead

[Chthulhu]

Pentel "Classic Deluxe" (S57) 0.7 mm, 2B lead.

[Eduardo]

Esterbrook J 1.1 mm

[fluctuations]

Staedtler 4B woodcase pencil. While writing with pencil, I prefer a dark and smooth lead and, to my limited experience with pencil, none beat Staedtler in this respect!

[Muggle13]

I generally use a .5 mechanical pencil or a standard wooden one, nothing too fancy since I'm quite clumsy.

Black and sterling Everfeed repeater.

[Senecabud]

Blackwings (Classic, 602, and Pearl)--that is, at moments when I'm not using one of my Lamy Safari pens.

I found this one recently, a Sabonis P-228 Marker. It takes FLAT leads, so it produces a very interesting line variation. Its only con is that these leads are not available everywhere.

These are intended for filling out Scantron-type test forms; great for calligraphy practice, though. I get a kick out of the oblong erasers. :-)

 

Lots of these on eBay.

very nice. I've seen these (not the same brand) type at Daiso Japanese Stores. I might have to pick one up... maybe today!

 

Edited: forgot to mention that they are sold at Daiso for $1.50 American.

lately I've been using the Pentel Twist Erase GT in .5mm 2B lead (not the III model). perfect for me: push/click lead advance, hides the lead sleeve when closes and twist erase... just perfect.

Ticonderoga Sensematic Mech Pencil -just bought it today to try it. it's ok, but can't replace the eraser once is gone. the neat thing is: if the lead breaks its advances just by touching the paper with the point. no big deal tho', I rather use the Pentel Quick Dock which does the same thing + a whole bunch of other good features.

At various times throughout the day either a Blackwing (classic) or Blackwing 602, or a Blackwing Pearl. Love them all and rotate use among the three types.

[bernardo]

These two: Faber-Castell e-Motion and Pentel P207.
