Pentel Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Pink Body

I have already left one review for this pencil, but I just wanted to expand a little after some usage.
This pencil is very sturdy and beautiful. I just can't get over how it is aesthetically amazing AND functionally perfect.
I have a LOT of pencils from JetPens (including many versions of Alpha Gel and Kuru Toga and Dr. Grip and...) and this one is my absolute favorite go-to pencil. I'm so afraid to let people borrow it because I just don't want it out of my sight! I have no problems handing out my Alpha Gels or Dr. Grips for several days of borrowing. Not this pencil though!
I am going to order one or two more in different colors!

This pencil is so beautiful and elegant. I had never seen a mechanical pencil with a removable cap like this before, which is the main reason why I ordered one. I love how professional and sleek it looks, and the color is so pretty! It took me a few minutes to figure this out, however. With the lid off, you push the button on the end of the body of the pencil to advance the lead. If you pull on the silver part on top of the lid, you will find the eraser. I first thought it was odd that the eraser lifted with a springy action, and then I discovered why: it is designed so that when the lid is posted on the body, you can push on the eraser cap which applies pressure to the advance button on the body, advancing the lead. Clever! I would definitely recommend getting eraser refills to have handy, though. Even though the eraser is rather long and can be adjusted to accommodate use, it is still a small-diameter eraser.
You won't be disappointed.

I have been using this pencil for about a month now and I love it. The aesthetics are top notch and the quality is solid. The balance took me some getting used to because it changes slightly depending on whether the cap is covering the pencil tip or the lead advance button, but the weight is just right. Also the pink color is beautiful and eye catching (imo) compared to some of the other versions of this pencil.

I love this pencil~It's set in a plastic box. It's smaller than I expected. I'm happy with that because it looks more pretty than in the picture. It's sooooo elegant! And it has a very good balance with the cap on the back when writing.

I just bought this in the pink version. I've had an olive green one for over 20 years. It still works just fine- has never jammed, holds lots of leads, performs flawlessly. I just wanted to change colors! I'm expecting the new one to last just as long and perform just as well.
