What's the mechanical pencil in the thumbnail?
I love a good pencil.
Looks like a Faber-Castell.
If you like mechanical pencils there are some really nice ones made in a factory in Birmingham, UK called Yard-O-Led, they're bit pricey though as they are made of Stirling silver...
Cheers.
Yeah, I know YoL, but a bit pricey.
My fav is still pentel p205 for some reason.
Look like a good pencil. Decent price too.
Faber castell tk fine. You were right.
There are some japanese mechanical pencils that rotate the lead a bit every time you push it down.

That vendor, jetpens, is an american site that imports from japan..but sitting in europe, for now this seems to be the best method of acquiring japanese writing stuff short of actually flying there personally. You might find that interesting. There are some stylish ones, I wish they had existed when I was younger and needed them in school
I have a couple of kuru toga pencils, but found them to feel a little spongy. There needs to be a little give to allow the ratchet to turn, but sadly I couldn't get on with the feel.
