  This pencil is pretty..., April 30, 2012

By alexltrr

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..., March 15, 2012

By copicarker

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!

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.

  Since the body is made..., July 9, 2009

By mrpopa

Since the body is made of plastic and the cap is of metal, the colors don't match exactly, but this is not a real a issue.

When the cap is placed at the other end of the pencil, an ingenious mechanism allows you to advance the lead by depressing the top of the cap.

Stylish and affordable.

Fast shipping to Canada, very reliable seller, thank you!

  The pictures of the Kerry..., November 2, 2008

By william.miller

The pictures of the Kerry are nice, but one cannot fully appreciate the good looks of this pencil until they see it in person. The body is plastic, but really looks metallic until you actually pick it up and hold it. For its size, it's got a nice weight to it, but is well balanced. The cap is metal and contains the eraser. The inner barrel that holds the lead is also made of metal. Since this pencil is capped, it is pocket safe, which gives it a good advantage over many other pencils. Overall a great pencil.
