Pentel Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Blue Body

This pencil is pretty good and it looks really classy. To be honest, it's not ergonomic at all and your hand gets cramped after a long use. I personally think it's because the pencil is really small. I think this pencil is a must have for the fact that it looks really classy. Overall, I would rather buy the alpha gel or a kuru toga.

I love my Pentel Sharp Kerry. I just can't help but be impressed every time I whip out this baby. It's so visually appealing and such a pleasure to write with that it sparked my growing enthusiasm for mechanical pencils.

PROS:
+ The metallic, midnight sapphire color of this pen is gorgeous and classy. The silver complements the blue beautifully. An inscribed Kerry and Pentel logo really completes the design.
+ The cap locks on securely with a satisfying "click" and protects the unique, stylized tip from harm.
+ Thanks to the arched clip, the Kerry can slide onto multiple pieces of paper without catching.
+ My Kerry has yet to jam or slip. It works with both HB and B lead.

CONS:
- The metal texture on the body of the pen seems to be there for appearances only. It's too high on the body to be a real grip. The body unscrews there.
- When writing with the cap on, the long clip sometimes digs into my hand. The cap can also chafe, although it's definitely bearable.
- A part on the cap rattles when shaken, but that's because of its design.
- The eraser is pitifully small and a little difficult to get to. The eraser cap comes with no grips and is sometimes hard to remove.
- It only comes in 0.5 mm.

These are minor complaints; the pros overwhelm the cons. Otherwise, I have no qualms about this pen. These pens are well worth their price. I hope to obtain an olive version soon!

This is a very small pen,sterdy and strong. It is the finest pen I've ever had.

My dad had a few of these that were over 20 years old. They weren't called Kerry, but it's the exact same pencil. We were surprised to find that Pentel was still making them and they are actually pretty easy to find. Highly recommended if you want a classy mechanical pencil that writes well while looking good.

great pencil! all metal except barrel. cap is all metal. all the inner parts like lead extender and barrel are metal. very nice wait and well balanced. narrow grip looks uncomfortable but i can write with this pen for hours and have no cramps. i get hand cramps with normal pencils
