Pentel Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencil (0.5mm), Pink Barrel, 1 Pen (P1035P)

Gorgeous pencil - love the design and how the cap becomes a button when posted.

Design élégant tiens bien en main

Portaminas de alta calidad y estética, con fabricación de precisión y una excepcional funcionalidad por el capuchón que facilita el transporte seguro y el manejo cómodo.

ペンマニア、ペンてるファンにあげたら思った以上に喜んでいました。 消しゴムはキャップ外して後ろにつけてから先を取ると出てくる、キャップのつける付けないでペンの重さを好みで変えられる、キャップを後ろにつけながら芯がノックで出せるなど地味にこんなにすごいエンジニアされたシャーペン初めて見ました！

This is a truly good mechanical pencil, well built, feels good in the hand, great writer. I like softer, darker lead than the HB grade that comes with most pencils so immediately changed out the lead with my preferred 2B lead. This was a very easy process and it worked flawlessly. For those of you, like me, who said - hey the eraser is missing! (most mechanical pencils have the eraser installed on the pencil barrel to cover the top of the lead fill/storage tube and there was no eraser to be found there on the Sharp Kerry) - after doing a Google search I found the answer about the eraser location - right here on Amazon from a review of the .5mm version of this pencil. David Brown is the reviewer and said it best so I will quote from his review: "To reveal the (very small) eraser, you must snap the cap onto the back end of the pencil, as when writing. This will make the silver button at the top of the cap extend. Pull this button out from the cap to reveal the eraser." The eraser is indeed tiny, so pretty much useless if you need to do a lot of erasing, though you can buy eraser refills. Like most of us who use mechanical pencils, I use a separate eraser anyway so the small size of the eraser is a non-issue for me. Designing a pencil with a cap is a great concept; you can carry the pencil in your pocket without fearing that you will get stabbed by the sharp point and without fearing that you will damage (bend) the lead guide and make the pencil unusable. I always cap it up after I have finished using it whether I plan to carry it with me or not, just for added protection for the pencil itself, in case it rolls off, or gets knocked off, of my desk. As others have stated, the cap snaps on solidly, both when you post the cap in order to write and when you are closing it up after your writing session. The finish is very nice, the whole pencil has a good solid feel to it and is, IMHO, a very nice looking pencil all around. I highly recommend the Pentel Sharp Kerry - I have the .5mm version as well. I am tempted to buy a couple more of these mechanical pencils, just in case something bad happens to one of mine and Pentel, for some unfathomable reason, stops making these wonderful pencils!

Happened across by accident, appreciate pen lid for protection, use everyday
