It's a good pencil but I picked it up more for the color scheme than functionality. Its cute but not so practical. Yes the body knock function is a great idea but I wish I didn't have to shift my hands to actually feed more lead. It might have to do with my hands being small but while I would keep using it, its not a favorite

its true that you can bend the pencil to extend the lead which is cool (and works smoothly). you have to change the position of the hand, or use two hands to do this though, as the grip and springy-bend mechanism are quite stiff. also i dont really like the texture and look of the grip, as it looks a bit 'old' and 'worn-out' on a shiny new pencil body. lastly, not sure whether its because of the pencil's mechanisms, or the quality of the lead, but the lead does not write very smoothly on paper.

SUPER CUTE, it reminds me of a rubber ducky! I love almost every aspect of this pencil!

Pros:
> Decent price WITH comfortable grip -- There are a lot of $10 pencils with similar looking grips and this one is half the price!
> Adorable colors -- Which is kind of the reason I bought it. Teehee...
> Knock Body Feature -- INCREDIBLY unique. It's fun to click!
> Weight distributed to the front of the pencil -- I'm not sure if it's ergonomically designed but it certainly is SUPER light in the back and doesn't tire my hand out!

Cons:
> Small, easily lost eraser nib -- The eraser is attached to the nib. While this is certainly different from what we are used to, it is impractical especially when you lose it you happen to lose both the eraser and the cap... I'm keeping a close eye on mine!

I hardly ever use pencils anymore now that I buy all my pens from JetPens but when I do, I choose to write with this one because its cute and fun!

I like almost every aspect of this pencil. I like how is holds in the hand. I like how it writes. I do not like that the top part with the eraser falls off. I have lost every one of the tops because it just falls right off and I can't ever find again. On my next order I am super glueing the top.

It's a really cool pencil. But if you get graphite on the rubber grip, it's extremely difficult to get off. :( The clicker is amazing though. If you're into different types of pencils, then this is the one to buy.

I wanted to try something new this time instead of buying a regular old pencil. At first I was very skeptical because i tend to hold on to my pencil in a way that alot of pressure is holding it down and i thought that the pencil would be bending everytime i wrote with it. As soon as i opened up the package and tried it out i found out that it is very sturdy and will only bend if your intention is to do so unless it's an accident. It is a very nice and creative pencil in my opinion.

The way I hold my pencils, this pencil is perfect for me because I don't even have to adjust my grip to increase the lead :D The grip is comfortable, the top clicking thing is amazing, the lead is amazing, ... perfect.

The lead advancement mechanism is totally bizarre, you'd never imagine it works so well - it's incredibly natural. It's my new favorite fun pencil. Speaking of bizarre, some of the color pairings and the eraser are pretty strange too! Try one, you'll love it.

Great pencil. Comfortable grip for long bouts of writing. Surprisingly, the lead doesn't seem to break as easily even with the bending mechanism.

An awesome pencil! I use it ever day, and the knock mechanism is really smooth. It's not true that you don't have to change your grip on the pencil to click it though (sorry double negative there) but that might just be my type of writing. I love the colors on this one, and it's at a very affordable price. Overall, really good pencil!

I bought this because it was a cute inexpensive pencil. I never thought that I would fall in love with it the first time I used it. The grip is extremely comfortable, the middle click to advance lead is actually really smooth and easy. Remember those pencils with the click advance in the middle before, except that it was an actual button? Well, this one is way better because there is no button to get in your way when you're writing. It's just a gentle click while you're holding it, no awkwardness at all. It's the perfect shape, weight, and feel for writing for long periods of time.

I love this pencil and find clicking the lead forward by bending it easy and fun. I would give it 5 stars EXCEPT for the stylish but poorly designed top cap. It is inconvenient to remove for erasing and too easy to lose! Will I buy another one? Yes.

Here are some things I would have liked to have known before I bought this pencil. First of all the whole bendy thing. It is not implying that the pencil is flexible. When one bends it at the middle it clicks out more lead. This makes it easier to write quickly because you do not have to keep dispensing lead by pushing the top. Which brings me to my next point, the top thingy is not an eraser. I thought it was and am somewhat disappointed it isn't. I don't like to carry separate erasers in my bag. So basically the only thing that makes this pencil different is the large amount of grippy on 2/3 of the pencil and this bend-dispense function. Is it worth 5 bucks? No totally not worth 5 bucks. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

At first I wasn't sure if it would work or if I would like it, but I am so glad I bough it. Now I can only use this pencil and if I use another mechanical pencil, it feels uncomfortable.

This pencil is awesome!
I don't hold my pens/pencils traditionally, I literally end up wrapping my entire hand on the pencil. The high grip, helps me write more precisely. The colorways are beautiful!
And the convenience of the bending motion to extend the lead is just phenomenal!
I suggest this to all students! It is the one pencil that doesn't make your fingers tired because of it's "fat" and high grip!

If I could, I would change my other review and give this pen a five. I felt guilty for being so harsh with this uber unique product over a tiny qualm.

I found that this is the pencil I reach for every time. It's so fun and comfortable to use that I end up picking it out of my numerous other choices. It's certainly not an elegant pencil by any stretch, but it's cute and functional.

Also, the rubber grip is pretty easy to keep clean (especially on this charcoal version). I'm planning on buying one with the more interesting colors next because they'll look infinitely more attractive. *w*

It looks really cool and unique... i like it

This unique pen is inexpensive and compatible with many kinds of hand grips. It has a thick barrel, but it sits comfortably in the hand. For its price, the Tombow Olno is a great buy.

The one downside to this pen is that the eraser cap is extremely annoying. It is made of cheap plastic and is not fastened very securely, so it comes off easily (on accident!). It's just an eraser cap, so the pen functions without it, but the pen looks unslightly without its cap. I have replaced it with a simple eraser from another pen, and it looks and works great.

One Word... FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
