I did not think that you can improve something as simple as a pencil still. But you can! The pen is thanks to soft grip very well in the hand, the annoying cancel the refill tip part by the suspension of the past. A nice detail is also the "renewable" eraser. The tie clip looks solid. The only slight flaw: there is no longer needle for cleaning the lead guide. On the other hand, I can not remember when I once used my old mechanical pencils needle. So, even for the socially acceptable price, a full five stars.
