Bullet Pencils! :)

I've really been digging the brass Midori pencil.  By all means, I looked into it deeper and found out about these old bullet pencils that they used to use as promotional items.  :D  And so begins my newest collection addiction...  hehe!

Why this over my rOtring Rapid Pro and the like?  There's just something more satisfying about sharpening and using a wooden pencil than a mechanical one.  I'll probably toss some Blackwings in these shortly (I'm wanting to try the newer Pearl line).  It kinda defeats the iconic eraser of the Blackwings... but I do love the way the wood smells and the graphite writes.  :)

My favorite is definitely the red one without the clip or eraser.  The second favorite is probably that black one.  :D

What's nice about these is that you can replace the pencils with regular round ones that you find just about anywhere - with the Midori, you had to hack it a little with some support since the pencils they use are of larger diameter.

I've yet to figure out the eraser part... I'm kinda picky with my erasers, even moreso than I am about the type of lead I'm writing with.

Cheers!
