The bottom of the board isn't flat too as opposed to one displayed in the seller's listing. Is this a fake? I bought this on Lazada.
The sound is really nice though. Probably my favourite among my current chromatic kalimbas
I just got more fun new pencils to play with! Kaweco Special Brass Mechanical Pencil in 0.7mm and 0.9mm
The two pencils + the clips + shipping only cost me about 86 USD
My Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Nr. 2 pencils became much more enjoyable to use after I discovered that you can attach clips to them. The Sunflower is a recent purchase, while the Pumpkin is a replacement for my old one after the paint started peeling off. Fortunately, Leuchtturm1917 was kind enough to send me a free replacement after I reported the issue to their local distributor here in the Philippines
Two weeks later and it's finally here! Honestly, this thing caught me off guard. It might actually be the most comfortable pencil I've ever written with, it just melts into your hand in a way that's really hard to describe. You know that feeling when a pencil just *clicks* with you? Yeah, it's that. And that ebony wood is just... *chef's kiss🤌
Everything about it feels premium, from the wooden barrel to its all-metal internals, the build is almost perfect. My only nitpick is a slight rattle from the cap when you shake it. But let's be real, when are you ever shaking your pencil while writing (unless it's a shaker ofc)? It's a non-issue in actual use
¥6071 all-in and I have zero regrets
I can't seem to find more information about this pencil other than the 2 previous posts in this subreddit history
After a few days of use, I finally understand why this writing instrument is called as such. This is the 0.5mm version that I've been using lately. I love the heft of the pencil, without the clip, its center of balance leans a bit toward the tip; and with the clip, it's now dead-center and I am just blown away by the control that this instrument gives me when writing stuff on my journal. No rattles, no wobbles, and the click is just sooooo damn satisfying. The only downside to this pencil imo is that my hand smells like pennies after use, I know I should've gotten the aluminum one instead of brass, but I just couldn't resist shiny things lol. This pencil is truly special, maybe that's why it's called a Kaweco Special.
