Love this pencil. It fits perfectly in my hand. The lead is thick enough it does not break. Also love that it does not roll off whatever surface you have it on.

This is beyond just a pencil - it’s a work of art that belongs in the MoMA. The weight feels sturdy yet balanced; it’s not heavy nor is it light. Size is just right for me, not small. Feels right in the hand and this will last a long time. I’m glad I purchased this, as it is so smooth to write with and is nice and streamlined. No eraser but I haven’t missed it, since I always keep a better eraser nearby at all times (being a sketch artist, it comes natural to do that).I’m now interested in checking out the pen version. I’m loving this brand.

Well I bought three of these. Expensive for a mechanical pencil… but worth it. I like the weight and feel of them. I’ve been using them for about a week and I’ve ended up really liking the twist to advance the lead.

The LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Mechanical Pencil is as challenging to pronounce as it is easy to love. Despite my tongue-twisting attempts with its name, the 'Drehgriffel' (which I've fondly nicknamed "Dre") has quickly become my favorite writing tool. Here's why this pencil is much more than just a mouthful.First off, the quality of the Drehgriffel is unmistakably high. It boasts a sleek, minimalist design typical of LEUCHTTURM1917, finished in a vibrant 'Rising Sun' orange that's as bold as it is beautiful. The body is robust, hinting at the durability that has become synonymous with the brand. I've dropped it more times than I'd care to admit, and not only does it remain unscathed, but it also continues to function flawlessly.The grip is another high point. It's designed to be comfortable for long periods of writing without causing fatigue, which has been a game changer during my long drafting sessions. The balance between the lightweight feel and the sturdy build makes it a delight to use. The 0.7 mm HB graphite lead that comes with it offers a smooth writing experience—perfect for both sketching and note-taking, delivering clear, crisp lines without any breakage.When it comes to ease of writing and comfort, the Drehgriffel scores top marks. The refillable lead mechanism is straightforward and reliable, ensuring that I'm never distracted by maintenance woes during my creative or work-related endeavors. It's the kind of pencil that boosts your productivity simply by being such a pleasure to use.Value for money is another significant aspect. Yes, it may be priced a tad above your average mechanical pencil, but the superior writing experience, combined with its durability and the brand's prestigious heritage, makes it a worthwhile investment. This isn't just a tool; it's a partner in the writing process, reliable and ready for years of service.In conclusion, while the LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Mechanical Pencil might twist your tongue trying to say it, it won't twist your hand while using it. From its stylish aesthetics to its impeccable performance, it stands out as a top-tier choice for anyone serious about their writing instruments. It’s a sunrise on my desk every time I pick it up—bright, dependable, and full of potential

I do NOT typically write with 0.7 mm lead; I have a VERY heavy "fist", and usually smash, crush, and smear ANY pencil lead that isn't approaching the diameter as a baseball bat.However, I am enamored of Leuchtturm products (I could not function without their bullet journal), and, green is my favourite colour. On a whim, I decided to order this mechanical pencil, despite apprehensions that I might be throwing my money away in purchasing an item that (for me, at least), would be rendered unusable and impractical BECAUSE of how "hard" I press pencil to paper.It was a fantastic decision! Not only is it aesthetically-pleasing, it feels SO comfortable in my hand. The heft of the thing is impressive. And, I have complete control of the length of lead I "let out" of the pencil, and, the stylus-like tip enables me to exert control. It just... flows... as I write. I have been using it all morning (taking notes during professional development meetings) and it has yet to break on me.It does NOT have an eraser; however, that did NOT deter me from immediately awarding 5 stars to the pencil.

This pencil looks really nice and came in an undamaged nice package however I think that it is a bit expensive for what you are getting it doesn't have an ultra premium feel and is a bit Hard to write with for medium size hands.
