Better apparent quality than the ubiquitous Staedtler Mars 780 (haven't tried the 925 available here) for less money, with more pronounced knurling on the grip. Nice "knock" system. One feature of the 780 that I don't really miss is the lack of sharpener in the cap: I'd rather carry something like the Sun-Star SharPits 2 mm, since that wouldn't leave carbon dust inside the holder barrell to get all over the inside of your bag! I do wish it had an adjustable indicator (like the 925) instead of color coded barrels.
