Nice pencil and sharpener  :like:
Great that you still have the
same pencil after all those years  :cheers:
Sorry, this isn’t the one, but the style is. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Still great pencils :tu: I have a few of that model and I believe the one I used so much originally was the same model :cheers: :like:

You need to start a lead holder/clutch pencil thread :ahhh  because when this challenge is over I will miss seeing all these neat pencils :ahhh perhaps in the Gadget Freak and EDC Forum :dd:

Just a thought  :whistle: :D
Well, I was kinda thinking of just carrying this one over as I might be able to do a one or two more weeks... :whistle:

Last day...
The Huntsman and 2 different clutch holders for pastels! These are the Koh-I-Noor model 5343 and the Caran d’Ache Fixpencil 0012. These clutch holders will take bigger diameter size art supply material. Mainly pastels. This material is very messy to handle because it is so soft. These holders will help keep your hands clean but the biggest plus is the size will always be the same as you work. You can use the very last part of the color and not have to pinch that last little bit with your fingers! Messy! Another art material you can use is charcoal, another very soft messy medium.
The Koh-I-Noor is completely round while the CdA has some flats in the body and will not roll when you lay it down. The are so close in length it isn’t worth mentioning. The Koh-I-Noor has a tad bit bigger diameter over the CdA. The smaller diameter and flats on the CdA body feel better in my hand.
Poncho65 has given me a link to a section on mechanical pencils, thank you  :tu: so I will be posting there in the future.
Wspeed...thank you for suggesting this Challenge. It was a great ideal and a nice way to share with everyone my other passion in life!  :hatsoff:

Those look fun how many colours have you got for the set
And are they still easy to get hold of  :think:
Nice idea especially as you can use charcoal as well  :like:

I am pleased that I suggested this challenge
As I have really enjoyed your write ups
And excellent pics of pencils

The only problem I have is
that I now want to buy pencils :facepalm:

This set has 25 different colors...the great thing is this set was right at $6.00 but they do go way higher, better material in the pastels and quantity will go up!
Nothing wrong with wanting to buy new pencils!  :rofl:

Congrats on finishing this challenge :like: I have seen a lot of cool pencils in here and opened a few option up to me that I just didn't know about :salute: Can't wait to see more from you in the future about them :like: :like:

Well, here is another one for you to think about...another option...and nice one.
The Rotring 1305. It is a 2mm clutch pencil. This one is interesting in that you can change the amount of graphite that come out. It is adjustable. You also get a set of graphite indicators that you can set to the hardness you are using. The front silver design is cut with flats so it will lay flat and not roll around. The body is tapered and gets thinner towards the end.
