With a mix of plastic and metal, this makes a durable pencil. Only downside is that the grip is held in by glue and makes it not able to be disassembled fully. Its design, performance, and durability make it superior to anything else.

It's like writing with silk while being fed chocolate morsels. I feel as though my lines and shapes flow organically from my hand. The weight highlights the premium value of the material it is made from, and oh mah.

The rotating lead works excellently, even when writing with your left hand. Has the perfect heft to it, the lead advances smoothly and in small increments like i like, and it just looks beautiful.

The rotating mechanism activates and works beautifully. It begins its rotation as soon as you begin use and continues until you put the pencil down. This keeps your graphite from wearing down unevenly.

Pencil barrel too smooth for comfort (slipping in my hand) this is better used for print writing styles. Plastic grip is very disappointing. If you want the genuine metal version of this mechanical pencil look elsewhere!

Not only does it no longer rotate, it is jammed shut and can't even load leads. This pencil has been relegated to my pencil box and will only be used as my last resort.
