Pentel Graph 600 Drafting Pencil - 0.3 mm - Navy Blue Body

The newest in the great line of Pentel (of Japan) drafting pencils. A simple but elegant pencil that's a pleasure to write and draw with. Lightweight with a metal grip that appears to be non removable. Lead grade indicator in the push button locks in with a click and stays put. Satin finished rings comprise the grip and make a nice alternative to the common knurled, or diamond, pattern no a lot of metal grips. One of the best things about the Pentel pencils, and the Graph 600 is no exception, is the fact that the lead is extended in very small increments so the user is able to get just the right amount of lead without running the risk of lead breakage.

Before I received this pencil, my go-to pencil was the GraphGear 500 (0.5mm). I'll still keep that pencil in my case for back up, but this new one is way better in my opinion. I prefer smaller lead and it fit my needs perfectly.

Absolutely a great pencil! I picked it up while I was in Japan last summer, and it's lasted for a long time! I use it for my agenda where I have to write really small and precise. The weight is nice, but not perfect. It's a little too low-centered for my taste, but it's a very nice pencil! It is a little fragile- from just keeping it in my pencil bag the 4 mm sleeve has bent, but just a little. For the money, it's a VERY nice pencil!

The specs don't say, but the lead grade indicator goes from 4H to B.

The only really negative thing is that the sleeve is a little bit difficult to hold onto...

This is one ultimate pencil. perfectly balanced. period. If you are buying this, buy white only. looks good in your hands.
More than this, i would like to tell a story. I gave a wrong address when ordering, with the tracking number i found that the package was lost. i conveyed that to the jetpens, they were happy to send another one without any extra cost. five stars for pencil and five stars for jetpens. hurray to the customer service.

Well, I do not know where to start with this pencil. It's an amazing, well-balanced pencil. It's weighted toward the bottom a bit, which gives me great control over my writing. The grip is fantastic and was not rough on my hand at all, even though I tend to grip the pencil on the harder side. I really love the cap, and here's why. Not only will it adjust to the blackness of the lead, if you don't care about this feature (which I don't, I'm not a drafter who needs multiple lead weights, I just wanted a really nice pencil for sketching and taking notes, etc. which this does effortlessly) the cap is also the perfect size for putting on a good cap eraser. The downfall of drafting pencils is that it is such a fantastic pencil they never put in a nice big eraser. I don't mind this so much as I tend to carry around another eraser anyway, but on days I forget, it's nice to pop on a cap eraser to not destroy the tiny little eraser under the cap.

I love the tip. It's all metal, and very solid. The lead has ABSOLUTELY NO GIVE whatsoever and just feels extremely well put together. The tiers give me a nice view of my lead. If you're debating buying this at all, I would absolutely go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately for me, I lost it on the last day of school (during the last period of finals! I went up to grab something and when I came back it disappeared. I seriously thought my chemistry teacher took it O_o) So I'm promptly ordering another one! I went to write with a Bic mechanical pencil to write something down and it was an awful experience. THIS PENCIL SPOILS YOU :D.
