Christmas and summer holiday silly season is upon me, so time to officially put blog things on hold.
I hope you all have a happy end to 2018 and a good start to 2019.
Thanks for reading, see you in mid-January or so.
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.

A Few Fabers
On my desk display this week, a few from Faber-Castell
Ambition
Twice multi pen (1 x BP, 1 x MP tip)
Basic
TK Fine Vario L
TK Fine Executive
|
I often think that the TK Fine Executive and Vario L are the "Forgotten Fabers". They have been around for so long and never seem to get the hype, advertising, acknowledgement or attention of their constantly changing array of competitors from Japan and elsewhere.
Sometimes you just have to lay down some ink. Don't hate on me, the G-man makes me do it !

Rhodia scRipt Mechanical Pencil Review
Rhodia scRipt Mechanical Pencil Review
Rhodia orange, adding some colour to any day |
Simple times with Rhodia notepad and pencil |
The pocket clip is strong and sturdy, and carries the Rhodia branding. Combined with the hexagonal body this is a no desk roll pencil.
Rhodia scRipt top cap, eraser and lead chamber |
scRipt tip retracted |
scRipt mechanical pencil sliding sleeve extended |
Overall then this is a decent mechanical pencil, and if you are a fan of Rhodia notebooks or paper and want a mechanical pencil then the scRipt in orange should be on your list of options.
• Best Points – ORANGE!
• Not So Good Points – The rattle
• Price Range – Mid
• Does this pencil make it into the Top 5? – No
Dimensions – Length 132mm extended, 9mm across the flats of the hexagonal body section. Balance point about 65mm up from the tip.
