Show off your pencils. Mechanical or wood case. It doesn’t matter.

0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me
Looking for Caran d'Ache Type 55 2mm set and Rotation .7 pencils.

All of these images are very good. Found randomly. Will share my own soon.

sharpening results, caused because of different pencil qualities and different sharpeners.
Pollux is not for every pencil...

Mechanical pencils I've gathered over the years since they were my primary writing instruments since high school (well, I've lost those I used in high school and college).
Nothing special, really since most can be bought at stationary stores but I love my Pentel Kerry! Been my go-to mechanical pencil for 3 years.

So far this is what I have...
Top to bottom: Sheaffer Balance, Wearever, Eversharp Skyline, Zebra M-301, and Wahl Ringtop.
I've used the Zebras for years. The other pencils are part of FP sets.
During college (engineering degree) I used budget mechanical pencils almost exclusively including a Pentel Sharp Automatic (or whatever they were called in the early 90s). I wished I could remember the other brands.
Somewhere around here I have a beat up clutch pencil too. Edit: ah yes, Koh-i-noor Technigraph 5611...

When I bought the I thought they we’re gimmicky because of the black wood. I was wrong. They sharpen well. The wood stays nice and smooth and they look pretty good.

I just love picture threads! Although I am a Fountain pen collector (and user) I also am a hard core pencil user. Here comes my pencils:
modern mechanical pencils:

vintage propelling pencils:

but for daily use, I like wooden penilcs of premium quality most:

...and I use them until the last centimeters!
Bleistiftverlängerer by C.M.Z, auf Flickr
but the best thing happend, when I had the occasion to photograph three collections of vintage Caran d'Ache Fixpencil leadholders at one time:
and last but not least, I like drawing with my pencils!
