三菱鉛筆 Mitsubishi Pencil 9852 HB Pencil with Eraser, 1 Dozen K9852HB

Back in the mid-90s I spent some time in Japan. As a stationary fan, it was no surprise that I ended up with lots of pencils and paper from the wonderful time I spent in that country. So, almost 30 years later I'm at the end of the Mistsubishi pencil that writes oh so nice (and no eraser left), and considerably better than the well-known North American brand that I have been an avid fan of since my elementary school days. Not wanting to miss out, I checked to see if perhaps these were available in the US, and much to my not a surprise (seems we can get everything these days), they are available! I quickly ordered these and they arrived quickly. They are a silky smooth as the mid-1990s edition, buttery and glide across the page with seemingly no resistance. I can't be more detailed than these are better than what's available in the US (that also being said, that I am not an artist, just a fan of non-mechanical pencils). Highly recommend!

初めて購入しました　昔は上についている消しゴムが使用すると綺麗にはならず返って汚くなって殆んど使いませんでしたが今回のはきちんと消せて汚くもならずでちょっとビックリでした　進化しましたね！

I do my budget in pencil and sudoku puzzles, under certain light angles a regular #2 pencil is hard to see. This pencil is darker but not too dark and easier to see on paper. However the pencils are a little thicker than usual and won't fit ints some sharpeners

日本に留学経験のあるタイの友達が本製品を大変気に入っており、時々プレゼントしています。毎回、とても喜ばれます。

These hold a point like a dream and the lines are fantastic. They have become my everyday Journaling pencil. The eraser is nice and does the job well. Overall, great pencil.
