Lamy Scribble 3.15 Leadholder

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

If you can tell, I really enjoy this pencil and I recommend it highly. It doesn't get as much use as the Lamy 2000 that I also reviewed though.

Also, please let me know what you think about this new review format. I wrote it using my Scribble.

Great long review indeed! I just ordered one of these & can't wait for it to get here. It's going from Michigan to Ohio priority mail so hopefully Saturday or Monday at the latest.

 

Any recommendations for a good, inexpensive eraser that will erase instead of just smudging?

Sanford "Tuff Stuff" is a very good companion eraser. It looks sort of like a ball point pen, and has a 3.2mm+/- firm white plastic eraser. Really, really good. Here is a link to a picture at Blick Art: http://www.dickblick.com/products/sanford-...f-eraser-stick/ :thumbup:

Hi,

 

I usually have a Tombow Mono. I like the Staedtler Mars Plastic ones as well.

 

One last thing! I have a picture or two. I'll get to that shortly!

A closer look at the clip mounting system. The clip only fits one way

This is what it looks like with a sharpened lead

It doesn't quite come apart, but the nose cone sort of unscrews

That's a very nice Lamy family! I'll have to take a picture of mine. Probably won't totally be complete as my wife tends to leave her Lamy Vista at work.

 

I just got the Scribble in the mail (fast shipping - helps that Pear Tree Pens where I bought it is only 1 state away from me). Anyway, the one I got is almost all black hardware. The only part that isn't is the mechanism that actually holds the lead. That's chrome or silver - not sure what it's really called. This thing has a great weight to it & writes VERY smoothly. Switching from regular mechanical pencils to this feels like going from ballpoint to fountain pens.

 

BTW, is that a Lamy 2000 mechanical pencil I see in there?

Yes, that is the Lamy 2000 mechanical pencil. I used to have the fountain pen. The corresponding review is Here

hi, just a question about clutch pencil. is the lead fragile and does it break when it drops onto the floor?

 

Also, what kind of sharpener do you use to sharpen the lead? thanks.

Hi,

 

The lead sometimes breaks during shipment, but it doesn't break in normal use including drops on carpet and such. You may be able to break it if you drop it cement or a tile floor. At Pencilthings.com, you can get some really nice lead pointers. They all get me endorsement.

Hey what sharpener do you use to sharpen the lead? I just got mine and I like it, but I tried my Kum automatic long point sharpener with not much success.

It's also useful when used with the 'dry highlighter' leads as an alternative to graphite.

Looking for:

Got one of those and also the matching 0.7 lead propelling. Actually, that one doesn't get much use, the 0.7 does get some more, but I could not resist buying the set.

      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
    • adamselene
      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
