Mechanical Pencil Kickstarter - Modern Fuel 2.0

[Chouffleur]

Not my thing but I thought others might be interested:

 

"Making heirloom-quality stationery is what I do. The MFD pencil 2.0 is a tool that will help you achieve and create great things not just because of its design, but also its reliability, dependability and the ownership you feel when it arrives."

Interesting. But I have a Berol Turquoise lead-holder that cost me maybe $6 US. And my first box of leads took me ten years to go through....

Nice looking but probably won't be spending $60 for a mechanical pencil.

another boutique MP , nothing really new here , and as far as pencil goes, the good old hexagonal standard HB still ( to me at least ) best

I went for a pair of the original models back in 2014. The aluminum version was my son's favorite until it went missing.

 

When the 2.0 version was announced, I got out my brass model and had another look.

 

 

At 50+ grams, it's a chunk, but still a pleasure to write with. And the fit and finish is top-notch.

 

It took a moment to get used to, but I'm keeping this pencil in my rotation and have signed up for a 2.0 model.
