Nice sketching and drawing pencil. Perfect balance, light as a feather. The barrel has a great finish and pleasant feel. Plastic internals. Brass clutch which has no play. Smooth plating job. The tip has a brass insert making it very slick. (easy to push the lead back in without breakage) Loud knock button click. Small lead increments. The clip is adequate, not too tight. The lead hardness gauge is great, easy to read and it stays in place.

Like all the Platinum brand mechanical pencils...excellant quality.

Top notch item! Hats off to this particular creation!

I'm a student who has to carry around a bunch of items and just like anyone else, consolidation is key.

Well I wanted to see how this pencil case would stand up to the challenge and what kind of items I could stuff in it.

The zipper pocket could fit an iphone or ipod easily and have a little roof left over for small headphones.

The flap pocket underneath was able to hold my garmin nuvi GPS (I don't like leaving this in the car, heat kills the battery) and I was able to hold the cords in my main pocket.

The main pocket was able to hold 15-20 pens with pencils, erasers, and extra lead combined with a notepad and even my dice bag (a bag of dice I use for games.) I was able to stuff my wallet in there as well. Oh and I can stuff my keys in easily.

So instead of having to carry 4-5 individual items (GPS, Wallet, iphone, note, pencils, etc) I can stuff them all into this and carry it safely without fear of it dropping out.

Since I was the one to beg Jetpens on facebook to get these highlighters I must write a review on at least one of them. I am choosing the "red" because this is the most original one... GREAT color! not a red... but like a orangy BRIGHT coral that ROCKS for highlighting "test questions"... All of the highlighters are the bomb.. NO smudging even when highlighting liquid ink pen that is on corrective tapes or when using inkjet print outs!

this case is pretty stable upright. i was able to fit 15 pens of various sizes + 1 highlighter + an eraser (that was about the max i could fit). it's pretty snug when it's zipped. I also ordered the nomadic standing pencil case, which can hold a lot more but tends to lean forward when it's upright.

  This pencil is Wonderful...., February 15, 2012

This pencil is Wonderful. I would so give it a five, but there are certain no-no's but it's not that big of a deal. Tbh, i would give it a 4.5, not a 4, but since the rating system only have whole numbers...
Well I remember that someone had already address the issue about the mechanism's function. True that it's an amazing mechanism; i use it and it certain did the work, but like when putting at an angle and that you don't press the pencil down for the mechanism to move, the pencil's lead will get somewhat dull until you lift the pencil up. Still, i kinda write things and put pressure on the pencil, so this isn't a bad thing for me, but something i write lightly, so this happens. Still, it's a wonderful pencil, it works the way it suppose to work, i've been writing with this pencil ever since i got it from the mail. i didn't have to turn my pencils around all the time.
The appearance of this pencil is very nice, slick, cool, slim, and really smooth. Some people say that it's not different from high grade version, to me I don't have that, but from the look of it, this design was made for people that want a better grip of the pencil. I've heard elsewhere that the high grade was made of silicon materials, and some people lost the grip while holding the pencil.
To me, i like the grip, i slip my pencils a lot so i was glad i ordered this version. And also, I like the look of this version better. The high grade one isn't aesthetically appealing to me... (lol).
Imo, you should really take care of the pencil. $16.50 isn't a cheap price for a pencil, but it was worth it (for me and for those who likes to write nicely and neatly). The technology of this pencil is top notch, and it's also a beautiful pencil. Nobody want to lose their $17 right? :]

  I ordered this few weeks..., February 15, 2012

By katykyoukhanh

I ordered this few weeks ago, and started using it. And I must say, I love this eraser, more those convenient click erasers.
Let's start off by saying how i love the size of this eraser. Some people might think that it's too small, but to me it's like the perfect size. Why? because when you hold the erasers, it won't be so "blocky" (i srsly dont know the word T_T), like it doesn't block the space like those rectangular prism erasers *stares at the pentel and other erasers with a similar shape*. I like how it's a square prism block. the edges don't get dull that much, and it would still target the writing nicely. I hold the erasers between my index finger and the thumb, so it's really comfortable, and easily erase. The other blocky erasers you have to like use atleast 3 fingers to hold it in place (like having a grip of the eraser so it doesn't leave any mess while erasing); and tbh... it's annoying sometimes for me..
Secondly, the looks. I like how the eraser is black... not white... If it's white, i mean, the edges will get dirty and have to all dark stuffs around it, and I don't like that. This one, it's clean and simple. The eraser is soft and smooth, so for me, i feel comfortable holding it.
Third, the eraser's function in erasing. I've gotta say, it's wonderful. It leaves little dusts behind, and it doesnt give u those dark marks while erasing. The other block erasers that i;ve use, i've always had these long pieces of rubbers after erasing, and it's really annoying. With this eraser, even if i erase like a half a page of writing, there wouldn't be that much stuffs left behind. And when i blow it away, there arent any mess around the work place. And the other thing is, i must say that it looks very durable. I've been using it for a few weeks already, and the erasers doesn't seem to be like... shrunken... or something like that (i'm sorry i sux at using vocabs ><)

But overall, this eraser is a 5/5 for me. Perfect size, cute looking (yes cute...), soft, erasing function is amazing, and durable. I srsly love the size, I expect it to be like tiny or something, but ti's just the perfect size to hold and erase. ( I srsly can't get over how perfect the size this eraser is...)

This lead is smooth & dark, yet it doesn't break or crumble under my moderately heavy hand. I just found my holy grail mechanical pencil lead! Works great in all of my 0.5 pencils, including the Kuru Toga.

Best pencil ever! I have yet to break the lead on this pencil! I have had this for over a year and love it! The auto lead rotation is the best part of the whole pencil!

This is zen elegance at its finest. As beautiful as it is useful. A must have for those who don't feel they need to carry around the entire store with them.
