Review Title: Fun Little Mechanical Pencil

The Kaweco pencil is a funny little gadget. I mostly bought it as a companion to a Kaweco AL Sport fountain pen, but I've really come to like it's quirky attitude. It's a sturdy and well made, chubby, short pencil, but it works in spite of the short length - remember it doesn't post as a fountain pen does, since there is no cap :0).

Now, I have very large hands (more than 21 cm from the tip of my midlefinger to the root of my wrist), but the pencil is still very usable. Instead of the pen resting in the cradle close to my thumb, I balance it on the outer side of my knuckle towards the index finger - this seems to work well for me.

All in all, a great, little mechanical pencil with a quality feel. Perfect service from Appelboom and fast delivery. Thank You Appelboom.
