SUN-STAR Stationery S4482646 Metal Pencil, Metacil, Metallic Gray, Pencil Lead Color: Black 2H #4 (with Authentic Hologram Sticker United States Only)

I'm big on drawing, and typically traditional wooden pencils are my go-to. Mechanical pencils are nice for longevity, but their thin, straight lead isn't really intuitive for the intricacies of shading, line weight, etc. This is exactly what I needed. It's got all the pros of a wooden pencil, while also being durable, reusable, and STYLISH! The pencil itself has a very nice weight and feel to it, and makes a super satisfying scratching noise while writing, if you're into that stuff.

The ‘lead’ is a little light but it is smooth and writes very well.

I love this concept. Unfortunately, the pencil slipped from my hand one of the first times I used it and the nib cracked in half. Without a smooth tip, it writes pretty poorly. Replacement nibs aren't cheap. Great when it works, but it's pretty fragile. Handle with more care than a standard pen/pencil.

This Metacil pencil feels SO good in my hand; hexagonal, cold, and substantial weight. My standby, by Faber Castell, is round, slightly lighter, and has a plastic layer on the outside so you don't get that rock-cold feel. PROBLEM? The "lead" / graphite of the Metacil is just too hard. Even with a lot of pressure, enough to emboss the paper, the Metacil produces a very light line. It's uncomfortable to press that hard, but, with normal pressure, the line is barely legible - barely functional. I will stick with my graphite Faber Castell artist pencils. Peeling off that plastic layer would improve the feel, but I suspect suspect it's needed for strength and to prevent fhe softer "lead" from transferring to my fingertips. Note: Picture shows Metacil line with lots of pressure, Faber with normal pressure.

Took quite some time to get, but i was impressed. Wrote amazing (just a touch light) i did however drop it, which the tip broke at an angle, but still very much usable. I will say though, you are mostly paying for the metal and not the tip as its is about the same as any other kind of forver pen/pencil.

Writes very light. Barely visible. Not worth it.

Dropped once from a conference table onto carpet. Tip broke. Pencil is fine but a replacement tip costs as much as the pencil. Not worth it.

It feels just like a normal #2 pencil in your hand but a good amount nicer. The way it writes is just as you'd expect, but very lightly, it doesn't leave a very dark line behind, making it a little more difficult to read after than a normal pencil.

Good

Creo que es caro par alo que recibes

Le "crayon à papier" le plus cher que j'ai jamais acheté ! Néanmoins, s'il tient ses promesses de "distance" d'écriture (si je ne le casse pas et si je ne le perd pas), je pense pouvoir le léguer à mon fils en héritage ! En terme d'écriture, c'est un crayon à papier, qui écrit, comme.... un crayon à papier. J'avais envie de me faire plaisir et jusque là, c'est réussi !

気に入って使っています。紙によって、濃く書けたり、薄くなったりします。普通のコピー用紙は、だいたい濃く書けるものが多い印象です。芯が折れたりしないので、すごく便利だと思います。
