Comment on Overengineered Japanese Mechanical Pencils [video]

Comments

I looked hard for a nice pen about 5 years ago. I ended up going with a Zebra Sharbo X LT3. I use them so much that the matte finish comes to a shine in about 3 months and the plastic mechanism inside loosens up in about 1 year. They probably would last much longer if I did not flip them all day everyday. I happily buy new ones when it's time from JetPens. I've tried a few other models but nothing compares to the Sharbo X LT3.

Unfortunately, the pretty colors have been discontinued, but if you're looking for a multipen and don't mind putting up some money, they're great.
