Perpetua Graphite Pencil, Black (NP01513)

A nice, simple, clean design. Works well and won't roll away.

I was so excited for this pencil and I want to throw it directly into the trash. It is very hard graphite, hardly marks the paper at all, and is really only suitable for shading or light sketching.

Doesn't really work as well as I needed it to as a pencil. It didn't sharpen to a fine point. It left little crumbs when writing and didn't leave a bold mark.

The description is not correct. This is a pencil made of 80% recycled graphite and can be sharpened. The colored bit on the end is an eraser and it does erase. It is a light mark but that is exactly what I want to sketch with before doing watercolor.

I bought one of this pencil in Dublin and like it. This one came without the packaging--disappointing in a new product. Also more expensive on Amazon than it was in Dublin.

Incredible

It's a little rough on paper but it does write. It's graphite impregnated rubber - so it sharpens and works like a normal 'full graphite' pencil but because it's rubber based it has more friction on the paper. It does, however, not require sharpening as frequently. This can be a blessing or a curse - as it dulls it has more paper friction. One thing I can assure you, is you'll never break the end off like normal graphite pencils. I personally recommend you get a different color eraser other than black - as it makes finding which end to write with (glancing out of the corner of your eye) harder to determine. All in all, I think this is a good improvement over the pencil for an every day carry situation but I don't feel it has enough benefits to replace ordinary pencils altogether. It's also very expensive for what you get. I paid $12.95 when I purchased.Note - I was not given this item to review - it was purchased with my hard earned money. I never tell anyone how to spend their money, but I wouldn't recommend this product unless you have disposable income to dispose of or the need of a very sturdy pencil. While I haven't tested, this item may also work underwater.

Not very good

Me gustan mucho estos lapiceros. Suelo estar pendientes a bajadas de precio porque no son especialmente baratos. Este en concreto lo compré como producto plus en torno a los 4€.Son lapiceros compuestos por una mezcla de caucho y grafito (80% grafito). Fabricados en Italia.Su tacto es más áspero que el de un lapicero normal, pero escribe perfectamente. La punta nunca se rompe y no hay que estar afilándolo constantemente. La parte trasera de color es una goma de borrar. Tiene una cara plana para evitar que ruede, aunque es prácticamente imposible que se rompa si se cae. El lapicero no mancha, por lo que se puede llevar en un bolsillo de la camisa sin riesgo.Aunque no es barato yo lo recomiendo, especialmente si lo encuentras con una buena oferta.

e' tutto bello
