It feels like a standard #2 pencil in your hand, with noticably more weight. A weight that says quality and control. It has a neutral balance, not favoring either end, and it is a joy to hold. It came in a dark green color with no words printed on it. I don't normally use the built in sharpener, but for the sake of this review, I can say it gives you a decent, medium angle, but I could not get a really sharp point with it. My cheap, plastic 4mm sharpener works much better. All this comes in a beautiful package that had me thinking I took advantage of the seller somehow, as it seems worth much more than I paid for it. A professional quality holder at a great value.

Love this for figure drawing

I get rough cut lumber and use these for measuring cuts with the circular saw then use a marking knife for final cuts. I bought two of these and got white lead for one to use with dark woods. The flat sides keep it from rolling too far.

Unexpectedly this Lead holder arrives in a sealed presentation box, as that typically provided with high end pens. Upon opening the clamshell box on sees the holder sitting on a white satin bed. This is a holder of majesty, it is a brute amongst lead holders, heavy, solid, girthy. It is heavy and long - not for the delicate hand. The lead is massive, providing a very bold text. I'm going to enjoy this instrument!

I bought this based on a review by the YouTubber "Stumpy Nubbs". It is a great replacement for the standard carpenters pencil ubiquitous to the building trade. The lead is thicker because it is round instead of rectangular and it is harder so it doesn't break off like those standard pencils but that means it usually means you have to take extra swipes if you want a darker, more visible line. The lead is gripped firmly and is easily adjusted, but not automatically like a standard small lead mechanical pencil does. The only down side that I see is that it can't be sharpened to a conical point with most every pencil sharpener on the market, but based on how it is used, you aren't really looking for a really pointy thin line with this pencil. For that reason, I have other pencils for precise work and use this one on rough lumber only.
