  This pencil is a pleasure..., October 9, 2011
By man...
This pencil is a pleasure to write with. I've been using it consistently for about a year now. Some of the green has worn off over time, I've replaced the eraser several times, and the little cap is long gone. A great buy! I would give it a 4.75 if I could because the paint has worn off, but other than that it has been serving me very well.

Love, love, love this pencil! It vastly improves my handwriting, and doesn't make my hand cramp up when I use it which happened with my old Clear Point. I love the colour and also how you can see the mechanism. This is the best pencil I have used!

This is such a wonderful pencil! I purchased this one along with a high-grade series, and both are fabulous. I have to say, so far, this one is more comfortable to write with, but it is a bit "mushy." I do not notice any mushiness with the high-grade series.

One of the best low-grade pencils I have ever used. I love how light it is and the kuru toga engine is just genius. I press down hard when I write, so the engine works marvelously for me. I currently have a black and a green... I WANT THEM ALL!

This is a excellent pencil. This is Japanese innovation at it's finest. My wife and I fight over this pencil. She comes into my den all the time asking for it. I've got more than one just in case I loose it or she looses it; but I'm not going to tell her I do. Yes I'm stingy! You can't go wrong with this pencil, well worth the money!

The only problem I have with this pencil is using the softer leads in it; the mechanism doesn't seem to turn far enough and still gives the user a broad tip on the lead despite the rotating action. Stick with B grades or harder with this pencil for best results.

This is by far my favorite pencil. I've been known for my neat handwriting, but this takes my hand writing over the edge in neatness!

i've seen lots of pencil that have cool features, but they don't actually work well in the end. This pencil is just absolutely amazing. The turning function actually works, and my writing looks a lot neater.

Best pencil ever!!!!!!!!really neat!
  The only other mechanical..., December 20, 2009
The only other mechanical pencil I own, the pentel techniclick pd105t, is what I refer to as the best mechanical pencil ever made. Because I am suborn, I will not revise that statement. The second best, and most certanly the best writing experience, is the Kuru Toga.

Over time, you will notice the difference. There is a slight drag on the pencil to paper because of the rotation action, but the lead stays sharp. (Not super sharp as in the manual, but usable sharp) With my techniclick, I had gotten used to rotating the pencil. This is no longer necessary.

If you use mechanical pencils, buy this one. Buy two. Trust me.
