Pentel Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Olive Green Body (P1035-KD)

Sleek. Lovely. The cap is cleverly designed; when placed on the bottom of the pencil, it allows you to lengthen your lead without having to remove it. That means I won’t have to lay the cap down someplace and possibly lose it. The knurled band isn’t hard on my arthritic finger. I bought it primarily for my Bible study to take notes in my Bible and notebook, so I won’t be using it extensively.

I was devastated after a loss my first one and then I had to get a replacement right away. Very good quality of build, excellent click, satisfying knurled grip that isn't pokey or sharp or rough. Pretty good damn pencil if I personally do say so myself.

Love the pencil, its ergonomic and its got a quality feel and look to it. Paired with Pentel Ain Stein lead, it glides over paper and feels like a pen.

Great pencil, durable and attractive. The eraser is small, about 3mm around, the same size as the P205 drafting pencil. The olive green color shows a big difference between the enamel on the metal body and the plastic (?) cap. I'd had black and red and blue ones previously where the difference was not obvious so consider paying attention to the particular color you choose.

This pencil is very well engineered. You should know what to expect from a pricey, well-made mechanical pencil, so I will mainly go over features exclusive to this pencil. This pencil is quite comfortable to hold when posted, though when uncapped, it’s a bit small. I have seen others complain on the external plastic layer covering the mostly metal pencil, though I find that it provides a bit of friction that prevents this pencil from being slippery to hold, especially compared to the polished metal parts on other parts of this pencil. When they designed the pencil to be able to “clicked” even with the cap posted, they made sure to spring load the cap’s finial such that when capped or separated from the pencil, the finial in the cap doesn’t rattle at all. In addition, the eraser is located in the cap, so when posted, you can remove the end finial to easily access it. But, when not in use, ostensibly when the pencil isn't posted and is instead capped, removing the end finial of the pencil reveals the lead chamber, such that when in use, the end of the pencil serves as an eraser, and provides refill access when not in use. I was most worried about the middle grid section before buying this pencil, but the pattern is not sloppy at all, and is engraved very precisely and smoothly. It seems scratch resistant when I run my nails across it, though I don’t plan on putting this pencil through any durability tests. I’ve heard that this pencil can last quite a long time, but only time will tell as to the hardiness my specific model. There’s a few design features that at first may seem like blemishes, but I’ve grown to overlook and accept them. The metal rings where the cap meets the pencil is crimped, ostensibly to help the cap stay capped/posted, though at first glance, it looked a bit weird. The plastic on the pencil body isn’t uniform either; you may find darker or brighter streaks that are probably more distinct on lighter color models. I mainly have 2 complaints: Where the metal meets the plastic grip, there was a loose bit of plastic that I scraped off with a pair of scissors. It’s a little strange that such a blemish managed to pass post production checks given how precisely manufactured the rest of the pencil is. The cap also clips onto the pen a little too tightly, which makes using this pencil as a daily carry on that you can pull out and use whenever a little awkward. This is a pencil, not a fountain pen with liquid ink, so there’s really no reason for there to be such a tight seal between the cap and the rest of the pencil.

Excellent!

This thing is beautiful and functional. It has a cap to protect the point, but it has two buttons, so it will advance the lead with cap on or cap off. You can carry it in your pocket or pen sleeves (like in a laptop bag) and it will not poke holes in the material. Nice grip on the body. If you have size Large or bigger hands, you'll probably up on the textured chrome part of the body. Nice grip, even if your fingers are down on the painted part of the body. The eraser is under the cap button. Place the cap on the pencil as if you are going to write. The button will then extend a bit and will be slightly easier to grasp. There is no texture on the button and it is a little slippery.

I don't use mechanical pencils myself, but my husband does, and he's always losing them. I read reviews of mechanical pencils and this one was singled out. It was a simple, inexpensive purchase, but he absolutely loves it. And he hasn't lost it yet. I can't say exactly what it is about this particular pencil that makes reviewers and my husband like it so much, but apparently it's just a really excellent mechanical pencil that works well and feels good in the hand.

Le meilleur porte mine que j'ai jamais eu. Un rendu très classe, il en plastique de qualité et la pointe est en métal ce qui garantie une bon équilibre et une bonne prise en main. Le mécanisme du capuchon qui une fois clipsé au dos du stylo, permet de faire descendre la mine, est juste génial. Toute l'ingéniosité et la qualité des produits japonais. Je conseille de le prendre en 0,5MM. Les pointes Pentel sont ce qui se fait de mieux. Seul bémol concernant l'envoi par fast japan, le Porte-mine est arrivé sans son étui !!

I like the construction and size. Beware the cap has a different shade colour than the body, but it doesn't bother me.

Çok pratik ve kaliteli bir kalem. Özellikle küçük olduğu için her cebe sığması ve mekanizmasının kalitesi çok hoşuma gitti. Gövdenin ortasındaki yüzük, kapak ve uç kısmı metal geri kalan yerleri plastikten üretilmiş. Bu sebepten kapak ve gövde arasında bir miktar malzeme kaynaklı renk ve doku farkı var ancak rahatsız edici miktarda değil. Gövdenin ağırlık merkezi kapağı kullanınca biraz yukarı kayıyor, bu belki çizim yapanların hoşuna gitmeyebilir.

Die beiden Stifte kamen direkt aus Japan. Sehr gute 0,5 mm Bleistifte in Top-Verabeitung - Metallausführung - in einer schönen blauen Farbe zu einem sensationell günstigen Preis. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Nice product from the seller, the build quality is good., the only thing which I expect is cleaning rod, the jam cleaning rod for pencil to clean when lead struck, from the manufacturer remaining all is upto quality standards.
