KOKUYO Enpitsu Mechanical Pencil, 1.3mm, Dark Green (PS-P101DG-1P)

I admit I love pencils. I’ve tried allKinds of brands but for me the Kokuyo Enpitsu are the best. They are comfortable, and reliable. The grip is just soft enough to keep it from slipping in hand but not so spongy that it feels awkward. In general Japanese mechanical pencils work better. I have given this one to my 11 yr old and honestly seen an improvement in his handwriting. I think it’s the triangular shape. It fits his hand better.

I teach architectural drafting and I really like this pencil. First off, it feels great to hold as the body is all smooth plastic with no metal surfaces where your hands touch it. It has a decent weight, towards the light side, but not too light. There no pocket clip at the top. Most of all, it's 1.3mm. Until about 1 year ago, I didn't even know 1.3mm even existed. Because of the width of the lead, it creates beautiful bold, crisp line, just remember to hold at 90 degrees to the writing surface and keep the lead point flat. I will be recommending this one!

Replacement for a less liked instrument. This pencil is comfortable to use.

It's a 2mm leadholder, clutch style, with no clip. Slender and slightly cushiony material. Good quality, solid and decently heavy.

Cheap and utilitarian. But actual look and feel was difficult to distinguish from thr picture. Not what I expected.

Just as good as you would think a Quality Japanese pencil would be. Warning, you don’t remove cap to add lead, just drop lead into the tiny hole IN the cap.

Feels good when writing.

I like the size and shape, but it has no eraser. There are other mechanical pencils for 1.3 lead that DO have erasers; I bought one of those to use instead. Because I like dark and soft 2B lead, the 1.3 thickness lets me press hard without breaking the lead.
