I have reevaluated this pencil and find th is I hold it a little lower down on
the grip so that my fingers grasp the knurling and not just the lined upper
portion of the grip then I can hold onto the pencil better and control it
better. However it is a bit on the skinny side for me so my rating has not
changed. But still, for those who have skinnier fingers than I do may well find
this pencil a five star winner.

This is a light, slim pencil. Construction is very good and the quality is high.
The only thing I don't like about this pencil and why it did not get a five star
rating from me is it's hard to hold. The chromed knurled lead indicating sleeve
at the end of the pencil is lightly knurled, to lightly to afford a good grip.
The chrome is very slick as well because it's highly polished. Because of these
two factors I find it hard to write with because I am holding it to tightly.
This makes my hand tired after a short while. The version without the chrome
sleeve should be easier to hold and write with.
