Review: I really like this pentel pencil - Fantastic pencil. I am always on the lookout for a good mechanical pencil for fine point lead. This one does not disappoint. It is great. The lead flows into it's spot and it doesn't seem to break inside the pencil. Also the tip seems to not get bent in my bag, which has been an issue with my other pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really like this pentel pencil

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pencil, just not every type of lead hardness indicators
*by A***A on April 28, 2025*

Really good pencil, probably my favorite from Pentel other than the GG1000, and def better than the standard American GG500, cause this is all sleek and silver and has the big 0.7 on the top and more matte which tells me it’s more premium lowkey compared to the American GG500, plus 0.7 is a great size and I’m pretty sure at least in the USA the most common but in Japan it think 0.5 is more common cause every time I go to a Japanese store they have a ton of 0.5 and not a ton of really anything else. And I doubt it’s any different if going to Japan irl. But also a nitpick for me is that the hardness window doesn’t have a ton of variety, like your basic necessities are there but not the super uncommon specialty ones. I also really like how this pencil and front heavy or weighted toward the front. It also feels great in the hand as the metal knurling feels so satisfying to hold and not too skinny and not too wide at least for me.
