KOKUYO Enpitsu Mechanical Pencil, Sharp Pencil, 0.9mm, Dark Blue, Japan Import (PS-P100DB-1P)

I'm a professional designer and illustrator. I've used mechanical pencils for decades from all major brands from the basic ones to the very expensive ones.I was looking for a 0.9mm mechanical pencil replacement and came across Kokuyo Enpitsu Mechanical Pencil pencils by chance.Never heard about this brand before but Japanese mechanical pencils tend to be really well-made and reasonably priced.I decided to try this brand and don't regret it at all. The mechanical pencil is very well made, extremely comfortable to use for long writing sessions and has a nice minimalist and elegant design.This pencil has been designed with simplicity and comfort in mind. There's nothing unnecessary about it, but everything you need for a good writing and sketching experience is there.It's probably better suited as a desk pencil to keep at home than a carry everywhere pencil as there's no pocket clip and the nice smooth finish might get easily scratched if carried around too much.It's now my number one day-to-day note-taking mechanical desk pencil. Highly recommended.

Love these pencils because as a carpenter I find them simple, sturdy, well made and easy to use. I don't have the inconvenience of having to sharpen them, having to find a knife or pencil sharpener when the graphite snaps. Just push the button and your in business. At 1.3mm they are the best of both worlds - not too thin that you snap them all the time and not too thick a line for accurate marking out. Previously bought 2x Staedtler 1.3mm and one fell apart and the other broke so bought one of these. I have bought 4 of these now to have in convenient places like tool box, van etc. Also cheapest I could find on the net.

These are lovely to hold and use for sketching and drawing. No clip to get in the way. Soft touch. Triangular shape a real hit. Original leads very expensive, but others fit.

This is a quality product at a great price, wonderful value, with packaging and delivery of the highest quality, as expected from Japanese suppliers. Total confidence..........

Very happy with this pencil. Looks good, writes well and the triangular body is comfortable to hold.

Love the pencil, but very frustrated with no eraser.However, i would recommend it!

lovely lovely finish - feels lovely. Like the simple clean lines. Only improvement would be a way to hold a decent bit of rubber to rub things out.

Yes I like this pen even though the lead is very soft. Took a while to arrive, but that did not bother me.
