Hello everybody,I like writing with pencils. Presently I am writing with Staedtler 925 25 and Uni Kuru Toga. It will be nice to know about your favourite pencils and, in the meantime, gain some expert opinions about mechanical pencils. :rolleyes:

When it comes to mechanical pencils, I exclusively use Pentel. Currently I am using the Pentel Graph-gear 800 because it is very cost effective, has a solid build and is excellent for technical writing for math and science. I recommend using the Pentel Graph-Gear series for anyone that is doing technical writing.

A Faber-Castell Scribolino. It's quite uncommon in my part of the world to see any of the medium lead sizes, i.e. anything between 0.7 and 2.0, so this was my first time trying a 1.3 mm. It was quite nice.

Don't write with pencils much, but today I used my 55-year old Autopoint pencil. Still writes as new, but I must get some erasers for the 2-3 I have.

Back to my Caran D'Ache Swiss Wood and the Viking Skjoldungen.

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

Also I never really see anyone bring up Pure Malts. Are they just a niche? I know that Mitsubishi makes a lot of them.

Papermate Sharpwriter mechanical. Gets the job done and is comfortable to write with.

Hey there,

I just found a super old Staedtler tradition 4B all chewed from when I was a kid, that will be it for my today's todo list.

 

Ok, since I'm new there I'll try to post an image, not sure it will work, forgive me if it doesn't :)

Koh-i-Noor Toison d'or 5900

I also have the 5905, but finding leads (2.5mm instead of 2.0mm) for that is near impossible :(

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
