Initially I set to see if I could find the Kuro Toga<\/strong> (mechanical pencil) locally but no luck, not only that but it seemed the places I looked online were out of stock. Eventually I engaged a person living in Japan and inquired if it was possible to sell\/ship me two mechanical pencils, and after a week of waiting I finally received them…<\/p>\n I wanted to share my discovery even before I received them but fearing that my wife may read this blog prior to me giving the pencil to her (the pink one is my gift to her) prevented me from posting \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Up to this point the pencils I have been using for sketching have been those I purchased a while ago, a couple of sets and some single ones. In my room I keep three STAEDTLER<\/strong> (Germany) pencils (HB, 2B and 4B), while in my sketchbag I have two sets, the first is a 12 set of REEVES<\/strong> (England) sketching pencils (From 4H to 6B), and three FABER CASTELL<\/strong> (Germany) GRIP 2001. (HB, B and 2B). Of the pencils I carry in my bag the one I use the most is the FABER CASTELL <\/strong>GRIP 2001 (B).<\/p>\n Wow, if you are into pencils and mechanic pencils, that blog link (Dave’s Mechanical Pencils)<\/a> Enrico posted is fascinating.. there is so much information, you can\u00a0 spend some serious time reading the various posts.<\/p>\n![\"kurutoga\"](\"https:\/\/www.imageswithin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/kurutoga.jpg\" "\\"kurutoga\\"")
