[/img]the absolute best pencil I ever used, and I have used a lot of different ones was the Faber Castell TK-matic all metal self propelling pencil. sadly they were out in the 80's and have been discontinued since. they were great for drafting and for art class because by pushing down on the paper , the pencil fed a microscopic amount of lead through the feeder tube meaning non stop drawing. they felt right,balanced and solidly built. I even splurged and spent £70 getting the all black solid titanium version but it just wasn't the same. no pencil compares to it and I sadly miss it. it was a better pencil than anything Rotring, Staedler, Mont Blanc, or Ohto had to offer and to try and get a second hand one now will set you back well over £100
oooh, the thread resurection troll - that's quite rare.
And two in as many minutes 🙂
I have no interest in pencils, aside from using IKEA ones as rawplugs, but these treads give me hope for humanity.
I have one of those Faber TK Matic things... £100 you say! I'll have to root it out.
my pentel A313 is more than enough for my needs, but I just googled 0.3mm lead to get some refills and came across this site...

the tin-ter-net is a strange place.

From a year ago too. Did fishkettlebanana remember it, or search?
Coincidience because I found a nice silver propelling pencil in my desk tidy that I didn't know I had.
It has this logo engraved on it

Honestly dont think I've touched a pencil for the best part of 5 years. I rarely need a pen!

It's traditional to go to the last page of the forum and use the last topic on that. Page 2800 and whatever in this case.
