I know this is about pens, but if anyone is looking for a pencil recommendation I have been doing most of my writing lately with a rOtring:

It's nice and heavy, with a good knurled grip. I can write all day with it, and it makes me want to work.




To date, I've never found a better pencil than the Pentel Twist Erase III (0.5mm). So simple, so affordable, yet so great.

Seconding the rOtring 600 - I got mine at the start of university, and it doesn't show any signs of stopping near the end of my bachelor's now.

Though, you do need to carry it in a case of some sort, because the tip doesn't retract.


I picked up a 2mm rOtring lead holder on a whim during a visit to Japan. Absolutely love using it and I've even come to enjoy sharpening the lead.


I recently got the rOtring 600 Ballpoint, and have enjoyed it for similar reasons.
