My mechanical pencil collection and various related things, thoughts and musings about them, reviews of mechanical pencils and other items, and more. I'm not prejudiced - all forms of pencils and graphite are welcome here, even some ink sneaks in too. You can use the sidebar links to find mechanical pencil reviews and other stuff.
Congratulations from the Netherlands! Too bad Piri Weepu didn't use the opportunities in the first halve to create a larger margin in the score. I would have had a much less nerve wrecking second halve but in the end the best team of the tournament won.
Don't know if you saw it, but at the end of the match there was a shot on tv over here of the man who was preparing the cup for engraving. I think he used a mechanical pencil to do so, and I immediately thought of you.

Yes! I saw that shot and thought Staedtler. I assume though it must have been some sort of engraver rather than an MP.
