Faber Castell perfect pencil and a Kit Penn (not a kit type pencil but an English maker  named Kit Penn).

So, what does a Kit Penn pencil look like? Are they still in production. Enquiring minds and all that.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Etsy is the only website in the universe with a search engine worse than FPN. I'll wait until someone posts a photo. ;0)

Doesn't for me. I get a gazillion links for kit pens for "kit penn pencil".

Mitsubishi Hi-Uni, H. I just got these, and I really like them. They hold a point really well and they don’t smudge (I’m a lefty). They still feel nice and smooth to me. I also have the (new) Blackwing 602s in my office. They feel REALLY smooth, but the point dulls quickly and I do get some smudging.

Any chance for an inkling of the model or pic? And the FP? Is there a match to the pencil?

 

Enquiring minds would like to know.  ;0)
