- it rotates the graphite as you write so your lines are always sharp. it's an absolute game changer and now i can never go back to a standard mechanical pencil
A pen.
Probably #1, I love the weight of the metal at the bottom.
I'm a Pentel man but the one pictured doesn't look very comfy. I'd want something closer to #6.

Kuru Toga Advance please.
No pencils. Let the record stand, cross off mistakes with a single strikethrough like a gentleman.
6 is where the fuck it's at, shit looks comfy as fuck and I will fight everyone else here I don't even care if you agree with me
- I like the Zebra.Got them at Dollar Tree or one of the Dollar stores.

I am a simple man. I see Ticonderoga, I choose Ticonderoga. I like ships and I cannot lie
No carpenter's pencil?

Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I'd go for 5/6.

Just gimme the damn wood pencil, #2

Five, but I want the 0.9mm and not the 0.7.
7 all the way. Though a nice metal mechanical pencil does sound nice.
I got a Pentel with a tip like #3, so if #1 had the #3 tip I'd absolutely say #1.
My 0.7mm Pentel pencil has been the best pencil/mechanical pencil I have ever used, for the most part. It was definitely overpriced, like everything at a college bookstore, but it's been such an amazing pencil. Only problem is that I can't have it loose in the pockets of my spring jackets or it will try to poke through the cheap fabric.
Edit:
I have used 2, 5, and 7 (alongside ones of basically same design but different brand) as well, so I have no idea how good the others are.
I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can't go wrong with 2.
