The Criterium is probably the 1st version ever,the: Gilbert & Blanzy-Pouré Criterium 2603. The Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth AG 5649/MS os probably the predecessor of the modern 5340 model and the other 5.6mm lead holder looks exactly like the Koh-I-Noor 5347 but I don't anything about this version/brand. Looks kind of vintage in good condition. If anybody has more info on any of these,please share! Thanks!🙂👍🏼

Everytime I was in my local art and stationary stores, I always noticed these cheap Deli m.pencils,usually found next to the cashier desk.

Today I got one in my hands and it was an instant buy! The metal body feels WAY higher quality than what one would expect. The tip is retractable!! The grip is also awesome, both super comfortable and grippy. The mechanism is Brass,however the feed tube is plastic. Eraser works better than Pentel erasers. Pencil doesn't rattle and feels solid. Pencil has great weight and balance,not too heavy and definitely doesn't feel light. The simple round body, adds super nice ergos. The retractable tip was just the cherry on top of the cake!

Pencil offers really good control,it writes way better than pencils of its pricepoint and at least as good as pencils that cost 3 times more. Control when sketching is even better!

All these, for 2.20€ is CRAZY! I will get more of these asap! 😍
