Here we have a nice set of pencils that can go in your pocket. I do like drafting pencils for every day writing but I do not like the sleeve sticking out. So I have added some that do not stick me. On the left is the Staedtler 925 25-20, Uni Shift.05, Promecha 1007, Tombow LOOM 505sh, BelBol.05, Pilot.05 which I believe is a H-3005, Pentel S55 with blue bottom, Pentel 535, Pentel S57, Pentel P1135, Pentel Sharp Kerry .07 and a Pentel Graph Gear 1000. The pencil that I have had the longest is the Pilot H3005 which I bought in Germany. All work well and are in the daily rotation. add them all to your collection.
Good line up of recommended pocket-safe pencils. Got the very same models on both ends and the red Uni shift myself. Of course, I tend to rely more on pencil cases and seldom stuff them in my pocket.
ReplyDeletean S55 and S57 sliding sleeve? are they actual models or are they mods?
ReplyDeleteThe Pilot is probably a H-2005 (not 3005), because of the pattern on the grip and because you bought it in Germany (H-3005 only in Japan). That doesn't mean your pencil is less rare, in the opposite I would say. There are more "double knocks" from Pilot (H-2105 = black metal grip, H-2085=wooden grip, ...).
ReplyDeleteThanks, I seem to be having a problem with the right model of the pilot. It is a great pencil and I think I bought it in 1984 or 1985.
