What Pencil Are You Using Today?

[flatline]

Office Depot has a pack of 36 Staedtler Norica + 2 erasers for $6. I've never seen non-art Staedtler pencils before although I've been a long time fan of their 2mm leads, so I though I'd give it a try.

 

Oh my. The lead in them is amazing, especially for $0.17 each. I now understand why folks buy them online.

 

Anyways, that's what I've been using today

At a local overstock shop I found some Papermate Mirado Black Warrior pencils. $1.27 for a package of 8!

I bought as many as I could.

I'll be using these for the foreseeable future.

Trying out Mitsu-Bishi Hi-uni today, in 2B, 4B, and 6B. So far...wonderful.

Today I used a Pentel P209 that I got for $0.25 at the flea market. A classic that I used many times as a teenager.

Trying out Mitsu-Bishi Hi-uni today, in 2B, 4B, and 6B. So far...wonderful.

Mitsubishi also made some really amazing professional use mechanical pencils, which I might expect demanded top quality lead. I've known of their Uni leads, but didn't know that there's also "Hi-Uni". I have mostly Pentel lead but have been meaning to branch out and try Pentel Ain Stein, Uni NanoDia, and Pilot Neox.

Here is my daily carry...

 

The pencil is a Kaweco Sketch

[milkb0at]

Wow, that Kaweco looks chunky and fantastic. It must be fun to use, what with having the massive lead.

The Duro-Point is loaded with 1.18mm Yard-o-Led HB lead.

TOZ Penkala pencils from Zagreb, Croatia are magnificent!

Adding the Viking Element 2 to my shirt pocket today, like the Element 1, but with a ferulle topped eraser! Super smooth, and nice to hold with a matte finish.

Lee Valley wooden 2H has found a place in my pocket this day. Pink eraser sucks (did not age well - hard and useless). Find point retention and smear resistance to be great for note taking.
