Enjoy the second generation Kuru Toga pencil with an aluminum grip and high-quality plastic body. This pencil is perfect for stationery fanatics, it will always give you a sharp point! Ideal for writing crisp and neat print, using with Sudoku puzzles and more! It's going to take a true pencil expert to understand the common pencil's dilemma but hang in there as we try and explain. With standard mechanical pencils, as you write the pencil lead is worn down until it is a slanted surface. Each time you write you will get a different experience depending on how the pencil is rotated. This can cause multiple annoyances: 1. As you start to write you might have a sharp point, but as you continue to write the point is worn down and thus your line widths are not uniform. This can also lead to smudgy and thick lines. 2. If you pick the pencil up and happen to start writing with the tip of the angled point, it is likely to scratch or catch on the paper. 3. The different angles at which the pencil lead comes in to contact with the paper is a common cause of lead breakage. The Kuru Toga, on the other hand, has a core rotation mechanism that continually rotates the pencil lead as you write. The lead is twisted through a spring-loaded clutch, it works by twisting incrementally every time you lift the pencil up (i.e. during printing words, etc.). This allows a uniform wearing of the pencil lead so that it always remains as a pointed tip. Not only does it solve the above problems, but it also gives you an amazingly thin line. You are effectively using only 50% of the lead area that you were previously using with your old mechanical pencil. Thus, a 0.3/0.5 mm Kuru Toga will write incredibly thin lines and have less breakage than a standard 0.3/0.5 mm mechanical pencil.

The lead in this pack is good lead, although oddly, it is not the lead specifically designed for the kuru toga. The kuru toga lead can be purchased online and put into this pencil, although the NaNoDia lead does work well enough.

Good writing pencil

 That's why I like fountain pens. As you said, it's the balance between smoothness and control.

When it wears down to my writing angle, it's perfect—neither scratchy nor so slick there's no traction. I don't like freshly sharpened graphite, and I can't stand the lead rotating feature of the Kuru Toga. That's why I like fountain pens. As you said, it's the balance between smoothness and control

For me it was the way a nib feels on the paper. I have trouble writing sometimes and I wanted something smooth like a Pilot G-2 but I felt like I couldn't control my writing with a ballpoint or rollerball as well as I could a pencil. Pencils require so much pressure to work properly though that my hand would start hurting within a few minutes of writing. Fountain pens struck that balance for me between smoothness and control, and not having to press down made the experience even better.

What feature of fountain pens sold you on them as a viable daily use writing utensil?

Hello! Roughly a month ago I bought my first Uni Kuru toga (0,5 mm) and I really liked it and it always stayed sharp.

the eraser. Its a tiny eraser in a small metal band that is almost impossible to accurately adjust, can barely erase anything due to its small size, and costs almost as much as the pencil to replace. I'm honestly not sure why it can't have the same eraser as the plastic Kurutoga models, which is still not a great eraser, but is a bit thicker than this one. The issue is not much of a bother to me because I use a separate eraser either way, but it may be of concern to others

Best Pencil I've Owned

 I don't have to.  Minor wish: it's a hybrid, metal with few plastic parts. An all-metal option would be great; just a bit more weight. This almost docked a 1/2 star from it, though its good enough overall to be pushed up to five for the autorotate

.. this one is somewhat on the lighter side, but has enough of a decent heft and handles very nicely even for long computation or (technical) sketching. The thickness of the barrel is on the average side for what I prefer/use, but feels right and has yet to make my fingers feel fatigued

 An all-metal option would be great; just a bit more weight. This almost docked a 1/2 star from it, though its good enough overall to be pushed up to five for the autorotate.  Since it's new, durability of both the mechanism and the finish is TBD, after some weeks in the field.

.. and borderline obsessive about the quality of the "old school" tools I use. The tactile nature of these tools usually compel me to test them prior to purchase

New standard for the mechanical pencil?

 Why? It's the Grip. It's Smooth Metal, with a very few Grooves. It feels slippery in the hand, while the Roulette has a knurled Grip and is easier to hold onto, while still having a high quality construction. I do hope that Uni will update the Roulette with the "W Speed" Mechanism currently used in the Pipe Slide and Advance Models

Buy the Roulette Instead....

The rot ring 600 ballpoint pen blends the iconic form of the 600 mechanical pencil with a smooth-writing ballpoint pen. Meant for a lifetime of use, the full-metal body provides ideal weight balance for fatigue-free writing and drawing. This premium pen is refillable and comes loaded with a high-quality metal refill. It also has a hexagonal shape so it doesn’t slide off your working table or writing space. The retractable design is convenient and airplane safe. Excellent for frequent writing, drawing and sketching.

Get a Rotring 600 and you can use Uni Jetstream ink refills. Brass body on the Rotring and excellent ink if you like EF / F / write small

do you have suggestions for "good" ballpoint pens (good quality, good feeling when writing etc)?

i was thinking about maybe getting a buddy for my lamy 2k or a parker jotter set (a friend lost my jotter fountain pen so that would be a good opportunity to get a new one and a ballpoint)

Ok... it hurts but... i may need to carry a ballpoint in the future

IMO the Rotring is too expensive at that price point. You can get a Rotring 600 for $30, which is practically the same pen without the retractable tip. I prefer to find pens with the LEAST amount of moving parts so there's a decreased risk of mechanical failure.

Like the title says I'm looking at getting my first expensive pen, that also has some quality refill options available. I don't know much about refills, so hoping with the pen recs i can search here for their refills.

 I've found the rOtoring 800 (61$ on jetpens) and the TI Click ($100 on jetpens) are my current choices. I have a strict 125$ before tax limit on whatever I buy. I'm looking for a click pen, I've never used a bolt pen, but can be considered. Since i need a one handed pen, job reqs, twist, cap are out of the ring. 
 
I like the 800 for it's retractable tip and it seems to have some good refills available ( however, i haven't tested, tried, or researched them that much)
The TI Click has a wide array of refills, given that's the nature of the pen.

I'm used to writing with the Papermate ink joy, which i adore for it's simple structure, easy rubber grip, and ink. For a pencil i use the GG1000 which sometimes i find has a small grip.
Also any refill recommendations I'll gladly take, but i can dig deeper here.
Thanks all!

First expensive pen, I'm looking to dig in and buy a good pen with many refill options

I have average size hands (maybe a tad larger than average) for a guy and this pen feels tiny. So tiny it hurts my hand to write with for a while. Also, as others have stated, it clicks everytime you lift and place down because the cartridges do not have a good fit inside the pen. The actuall metal body build quality is very nice, but I will not be using it as it is uncomfortable to write with

Tiny/uncomfortable to write with

 It lacks heft, the clicking mechanism is spongy, overall it just isn’t the same.  Do yourself a favour, scour eBay for an original, they were just better.

Simply not the same

 Great EDC choice. 5. Excellent knurled grip that does not bite the fingers when gripping.  Cons: 1

 It has an excellent balance, very hefty, good grip section, good click mechanism, and a very cool aesthetic. I would strongly recommend this over the Rotring Rapid Pro as I find that pen a bit too long and it has a plastic piece connecting the grip and barrel.  Pros: 1. Excellent construction Coated Brass, very few plastic parts

This is an excellent ballpoint. While it does lack a few things the older model 600s had like the twist top to indicate color. it is a hefty, strong every day carry pen.  This pen may have been a little pricey for a ballpoint, but the quality and construction are there to make it worth it

NOT THE ORIGINAL, BUT STILL EXCELLENT AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE BP PENS

I’ve owned a few of these over the years and they are straight to the point, (no pun intended) sturdy, reliable, comfortable and look sharp, not bulky at all, physically the same size as a disposable Bic pen. For the price, if you use a ballpoint pen for work regularly, this is probably the last pen you need to buy (as a normal not-flashy person)

Reliable Ballpoint that feels good in the hand
