Pentel, PENP205B, Sharp Mechanical pencl, 1 Each

I have been using Pentel Pencil for over 30 years. Great drafting and just plain old writing pencils. The wide variety of leads make writing even more fun.

I have been using mechanical pencils since 1963, when I bought my first. One thing that I have noticed over the years, is that there seems to be a standard that has developed based on color. Unfortunately for me, when I go looking into the bottom of my pencil drawer for a 0. 5mm pencil it is a major undertaking because the pencil is usually black. Normally that is not a problem, unless it is late in the day or night. Having a 0.5 mm pencil that is made in an attractive green as this one is, enables me to find it easily, and even brag that I have something of a higher standard. Bravo to the Pentel company for realizing that the standard that was developed is not the best of ideas.
