Mechanical Pencil - British Racing Green

From the material, to the finish, to the quality and precision, everything is perfect. I have been looking for the fully metal and perfect mechanical pencil, finally I have found it. The width and length are enough for what I was looking for. On the picture you can see it next to one of my favorites fountain pen

I’ve had my Wingback mechanical pencil for a few years now - this is actually my second as I’d lost my previous and couldn’t bear to be without it (as well as Wingback’s fountain pen). It’s a little source of inspiration in itself - every time I pick it up I’m reminded of the value and pleasure of good design, so it calibrates my thoughts and hopefully flows into my own creative practice. Oh and I since found my thought to be lost pen and pencil so my wife has been the grateful beneficiary of my absent mindedness!

Got the Steel pencil as a present. Never really worked, got in touch with Wingback at the time and shipped me a replacement part with the exact same problem. Was using Staedtler standard graphite that works in my Rotring and Staedtler pencils so couldn't be that. Nice looking paperweight though.
