The surface is not lacquered or coated, and will tarnish (develops a patina). It can be cleaned with brass/copper cleaning methods. **Q: Does this make your hand smell?** A: Yes, it leaves your hands smelling like coins. But Kaweco also offers plastic, aluminum and (guess) steel 5.6mm lead holders. **Q: Will this fit smaler diamter leads?** A: Slightly smaller yes, but it's a sketch pencil meant to hold the 5.6mm. You can go a few decimal smaller, but you need to be careful that if too small, the lead will move side to side as the barrel inside is meant for 5.6mm. If one wants a writing pencil using thinner lead, then they sell a different product. **Q: Anyone found an electric pencil sharpener compatible with this pencil?** A: The lead is thicker than standard wood pencils. There are mechanical pencil sharpeners which will accommodate this pencil, but I’ve found that they all quickly chew up the lead. Cap sharpener attached to this pencil really is one of the best choices. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Getting personal with sketching *by on Reviewed in the United States July 27, 2017* Writing tools are objects that attain a personal status in our lives. We all have (or have had) a favorite writing or sketching utensil that we always go back to -or wish we could get back in our hands. This short but thick and heavy clutch pencil is just such an object. At first glance, you think it's not going to be a comfortable pencil with which to work. It's shorter than most drafting and wood pencils, it's thicker than most pens and the weight immediately makes you think of tiredness. The 5.6mm lead doesn't help either. It looks way too big for writing on a daily basis or doing fine detail work on drawings. But looks can be deceiving, this tool allows you to draw, sketch, write and shade in many ways, you can even sharpen the lead in any custom shape by using sandpaper or a knife. It's weight and thickness are non-intrusive for those who like to take pencil and paper with them on their outings, or like to do hour long drawing sessions. Some even take it for a spin on more industrial uses to be used over wood, cardboard, or even metal.You can write long essays with it, provided you rotate the tip on a constant basis so as not to get a broad line, but perhaps, in this application it will prove a bit on the heavy side, thou.It's got a solid build quality with only a tiny rattle when you drop it over your notebook for instance. But the real magnet is the raw brass finish. It not only looks great, it develops a patina that really takes on a character of its own. The Kaweco supplied leads are nice and smooth, thou you might want to try other grades with it. Also, there are Metallic and Artist Pastel leads available from Koh-I-Noor for this pencil. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy crap! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 21, 2020* I grabbed this when I noticed the price had fallen to about 25 bucks from 35. This is a great thick dang honking hunk of lead in a well-machined and weighty brass tube. AND said tube is a bloody octagon! So there are plenty of surfaces for your fingers to explore when finding your best grips. The heft lends itself to exerting subtle changes in pressure on the lead, which leads to more successful and nuanced shading. You can turn it and get thicker or thinner lines. It's brass, so it smells like brass and makes your hand smell that way too. But on the flip side, it's brass, so it's gorgeous and durable AF. My only (minor) complaint would be that it is a drop clutch, rather than an automatic, so if you hold the button the whole lead could fall right out. But this seems to be the way for most clutch pencils, I guess, and makes it easier to take apart if necessary. Just make quick clicks to advance the lead and poke any excess length back in with your finger.It's small enough to slip in your pocket, and I believe that the octagonal Kaweco Sport pen clips fit it, if that's your fancy. Once it is safely stashed in your EDC bag or pocket, you are well-equipped to draw, sketch, write, carpenter, fidget (this thing is a great fidget piece), or jab into an attacker's eye. Or you can just keep it in a pencil case. Either way, awesome. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brass well made, heavy and durable *by on Reviewed in the United States March 30, 2026* Heavy brass!
