B ut why Pentel? Dunno. Felt good in the hands. When I have to draw a line against a ruled edge, it's like the line almost wants to be Drawn. (No I have not read Krenov) Suddenly, my fat fingers does not obstruct the sight anymore. Have I tried other brands? I cannot be bothered, with this price ($5) Then,Why 0.3mm? Unless you're an engineering draftsman, 0.5mm seemed more appropriate. With 0.7mm, you're just as good using a wood pencil. Because it is the only lead size that would fill a knifed layout line with graphite. And yes, it's from Mr Christopher Schwarz's post that I first slapped my forehead. My first impression of Mr Schwarz is a period woodworker portraying a sagely image and writing mostly about other (dead) people's writings, hiding behind a moustache. But I had to admit that he had influenced 95% of my woodwork, my choice of tools, method, beer, women etc.. and you can wipe that smirk off, Schwarz. Why does it feel so right? A
