I was looking at my pencil today and noticed that I had been using the same pencil - or copies of that original pencil, for more than 22 years. It's the Pentel Kerry pencil, and it's about as great a writing instrument as I've ever experienced.<\/p>\n

\"Pentel<\/div>\n

I love the removable cap that protects the tip of the pencil so that it doesn't get bent, but can easily fit into a pocket where it might otherwise damage the garment - or get damaged by rough handling. The way in which the pencil can operate either without the cap on the back - or with it, shows incredible<\/em> attention to the engineering of the instrument.<\/p>\n

Then, it's a joy to use. Absolute joy. If you've ever tried a mechanical pencil and found them wanting in one regard or another, please, do yourself a favor and try this guy out. It's something I doubt you'll regret.<\/p>\n
