Lamy Scribble Drafting Pencil - 0.7 mm - Aluminum Clip

I draw every day, and this is what I use mostly. It is absolutely made to draw with. I like its weight and diameter. The length helps the balance, I believe. It fits my hand and is very maneuverable on a surface.

-NICE WEIGHT AND LENGTH, VERY BALANCED
-HIGH QUALITY, YOU CAN FEEL WHAT YOU PAID FOR
-CAN BE USED IN A WIDE RANGE OF DRAWING APPROACHES

I HAVE LARGER HANDS AND I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, UNTIL I USED THIS PENCIL FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND LOVED IT...

WORTH THE MONEY !!!!

This truly is a great drafting pencil with amazing design.l'm an illustrator and really have to use only the most comfortable products for my everyday job.The ergonomic shape of this pencil beautifully sits inside the hand.The weight is just great and the shape offers many frequent,subconscious changes of holding angles during drawing.The clip is removable for even bigger comfort.l could say this pencil makes a beautiful symbiosis with the hand to become as one.And that's what l'm always looking for.

Very Comfortable to use...extremely satisfied..However only thing that irks me is internal mechanisim is plastic..

FIRST - The mechanism is METAL, not plastic. There is a second plastic cap under the nose that covers the mechanism. That cap pulls off and reveals the METAL lead dispensing mechanism. That cap has the sliding lead-sleeve in it. The actual mechanism appears to be Brass. There is a metal shaft attached to the metal mechanism and the metal parts have a plastic shell/shaft around them, then outside of that is the outer barrel of the pencil.
SECOND- The pencil does have some give or mushiness, but it isn't from the plastic parts flexing, it's just the way it was designed. It is not a problem for me, you have to push down firmly to notice the give, so if you are drafting or sketching you will notice, but probably not in just writing. Chances are you won't be using this pencil for drafting/sketching. But, when you do push enough to notice the give, you will notice that the entire internals move (the click button at the back also moves) this tells you that it is NOT the mechanism flexing, but the design of the pencil has give in it intentionally. I couldn't figure how to take the whole thing apart, but i think there is a rubber bushing inside so it will give and not break leads. That's how it feels to me. Many pencils have this feature designed into them. That is a matter of personal preference.
THIRD- I will say that the lead-sleeve could be longer, or that they used pre-designed internals from another pencil and built their shell around it.
FINALLY- It is very comfortable to write with, the length is perfect, shorter than normal pencils yet still long enough. The pencil and the pen have a soft click design which is a love it or hate it feature. The pen actually does not "click" at all, i like it. It is very unique look and feel, but does seem overpriced. I think it should be NO MORE than $15. If the barrel was also metal and the lead sleeve longer i would probably give it a 5.
P.S. - I just noticed that there are mold lines the length of the pencils plastic body, BUT, they did a VERY good job of making them minimal. I had to really look to find them, you can feel them if you are really looking, but I didn't notice them when using the pencil. I noticed them when inspecting and taking apart for this review.
