Kitaboshi 2.0mm Mechanical Pencil, Wooden Barrel, With Lead Sharpener, 1 B, Black Lead, 1ea (OTP-680NST), natural wood color w/sharpener

Good pencil with excellent grip. Lovely packaging and it is exactly as described.

This mechanical pencil has become my go-to. As someone who doesn’t typically like using mechanical pencils this was exactly what I needed. The wood barrel makes it feel like a traditional pencil and a more natural grip. It’s about as heavy as a regular pencil too despite the metal parts. It takes 2mm lead which I love, again because it feels more like a normal pencil. It’s easy to sharpen the lead as it comes with a lead sharpener. It’s very durable, this is my second time purchasing.Honestly my favourite drawing tool. The lead feels snug when drawing so no shaking of the lead inside making annoying noises. Personally think it’s great value for money and a steal. I recommend it to all my artist friends.

Very nice Pencil!I love the Metal Mechanism and hexagon Wood combination! feels great!With every Click- the Lead will extrude 2mm and the "Click" Sound is very satisfying in my Ear.The Sharpener is very smooth, love it!As i put the Pencil unsecured in my Bag with other Stuff- it happened to split the wood at the Front and the Mechanism detached of the Wood Barrel so I put a "sailsmakers whipping" (1mm waxed nylon braid) around the Wood- that will prevent the Wood from Splitting any further and holds the Mechanism back in place, no Glue! thanks to the thread.The Barrel is out of Softwood and feelsl ike Varnish (i dont like Varnish, feels like Plastic and is slippery). My next Project is to replicate it out of Rosewood and finish it off with Tungoil, witch feels amazing- im very excited already xx)))Once, i managed to get Water inside the back and the Cardboard Spacer got soaked and was mushy so i cut abit off and fitted all good again, but i will replace that with a Metal Cylinder.Thank You Kitaboshi !

Not like the clutch pencil you're used to but nice to use. Seems well made.

My favourite pencil. Nice look and feel.

Beautifully made with a satisfying click-advance mechanism, this pencil feels good in the hand. It came with a B grade lead that's suitable for sketching and/or note-taking, and a compact self-contained sharpener that takes up minimal space in a pencil case/tin/wrap.The octagonal barrel feels good in the hand and gives it a classic wood pencil feel, and keeps it safe on the desk when you lay it down to prevent accidental rolling and falling and shattered leads.I have quite the collection of mechanical and clutch pencils and this one has become an instant favourite - the weight, build quality, looks, and functionality are all top notch, and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys writing and drawing with this type of pencil.

Great pencil. The wooden like feel to it makes this pencil such a great sketching tool as opposed to many metallic lead holder pencils. I love it so much, I had to get a spare.

Favorite features: - pencil's wooden body is a delight to feel in hand.- comes with such a cool sharpener. I love the slim design it fits perfectly in any pencil case.I deducted 0.5 stars because the the sharpener does have one minor drawback: it doesn't sharpen the lead to a long point . It still produces a sufficiently sharp point but it’s noticeably shorter than what I’m accustomed to. See the photo. This doesn’t significantly hinder the drawing experience, but it might be a consideration for those who prefer a longer, more defined point. Especially if you need a sharp point for details you will find yourself sharpening it more often.Overall, i love the blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality. It's a worthy addition to any stationery collection.
