Barrel feel a little flimsy unlike the Pocheno from the same maker but I do like the fact that the clip is easily removeable making it a good pencil to park in pencup on worktable. It is definitely a pencil that I can recommend with its leadsaving feeding system. Pity that it is not widely available with platinum lesser presence in Hishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816750464732413807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-74698581953775435412010-10-07T10:15:23.490+13:002010-10-07T10:15:23.490+13:00Cult Pens have the MOL-1000 version, which looks u...Cult Pens have the MOL-1000 version, which looks upmarket from MOL-200; <br />http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Platinum-OLEeNU-Pencil-MOL-1000.htmlPointFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167502477180002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-16176982215075835602010-10-04T19:46:12.589+13:002010-10-04T19:46:12.589+13:00Don't tempt me dude, don't tempt me.Don't tempt me dude, don't tempt me.Kiwi-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092604091185842213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-49991314299969152162010-10-04T19:41:34.264+13:002010-10-04T19:41:34.264+13:00I noticed these at Jetpens some time ago and wonde...I noticed these at Jetpens some time ago and wondered whether there was any credit to their claims.

I believe the lead usage maximizer is their standard Zero Shin type system as on many other pencils.Kiwi-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092604091185842213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-74197512644671118092010-10-01T06:17:37.195+13:002010-10-01T06:17:37.195+13:00Haha, cruel Dave *evil grin*

At least according to Pentel :-) <br /><br />I think I'd rather ask for an e-sharp, than an OLeNU!

Credit to Platinum on this one :). Also, that Pentel Fiesta looks pretty tempting; I've had the same mechanical pencil for almost a year now and I think it's time for some new ones. Will a good old Pentel Sharp 207, a Fiesta, or a Platinum OLEeNU join the team next? Haha I love that on this blog, Dwscamelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503739092353023153noreply@blogger.com
