This has been a daily-use...,
July 25, 2012
This has been a daily-use pencil for me for well over a month now. The best part
is that the wooden pencil here is really beautiful and high-quality. It's so
nice, in fact, that I only wish they made them in a LONGER version to use in a
larger pencil holder. Plus, be aware that these pencils are a tad fatter than
standard for US pencils, anyway. I found it easier to sharpen with a colored
pencil sharpener. Otherwise, you end up sharpening to an elongated tip (because
the barrel of the pencil is wider than a standard pencil in the US) which wastes
quite a bit of the pencil. The fatter, colored-pencil sharpener opening lets you
get a fine tip which is not so elongated. Also, as my brother commented when he
saw this for the first time, "what is that? a pencil for someone who makes tons
of mistakes?" The erasure is rather, shall we say, prominent. Kinda silly
looking, really.
