Koh-I-Noor Toison d'Or Lead Holder with Clip, 2mm x 120mm Lead, Black, 1 Each (5900CN1005KK)

Good 2 mm holder; smallish but not slippery. Light weight , good for extended uses

Nice, quality tool. Feels a little small and slick in my hand, but not much different in feel from my older lead-holders I still have from my old days as an engineering student. It seems more "pocket-worthy" than my oldies. Wish it had a knurled section, but I can get along with it just fine. Would I buy this again? -- For Sure. It's got a nifty little point sharpener in the end cap. Wouldn't want to rely on that in every case, but there it is. If you're not near a good point sharpener, it can get the job done.

YES oh my gosh these are lovely. They are chic, write very well, and the graphite is great quality. The graphite is thick and dark. NOW, let me explain 1 thing that was VERY confusing to me...where the sharpener is. The sharpener is literally attached to the pencils. Each pencil has one. You unscrew the metal end of the pencil and see a prong. You hold the prong in one hand and the pencil-body in another. You take the pencil-body and stick the end of the graphite into the prong & TWIST. When you twist, it shaves the graphite into a point. Very strange, but extremely fulfilling. The only thing to keep in mind is that the graphite shavings will fall onto the ground, if not shaved over a garbage. Do not shave the pencil over clothing or white furniture/desk/etc. I really like these pencils, you will too. MY grandparents steal these from me all the time. OH: make sure your dogs don't get to these. Mine got to 3 of them on separate occasions. For some reason, I think dogs/animals are attracted to graphite (or something). This can cause serious damage, thank goodness my shepherd has an iron-stomach. Just something to keep in your mind. You'll love these...a lot.

What else can you expect from this brand? Excellency!

I like the weight, length, and balance of this. It's comfortable to sketch with. The only complain I have so far is that when I use a rotary lead sharpener (I'm not a fan of the cap sharpeners), the metal tip loosens, but that could be related to my sharpener being old and abused. Will have to try it with a new one to make sure. Just something to be aware of.

Good quality. This lead holder has a good knurled surface.

This mechanical pencil comes with a heavy, ugly bar code sticker on the body that I tried to remove, but it leaves a messy, thick residue of adhesive. I tried to remove it with “GOOF OFF” and picture shows the results. Cheap pencil, all cheap glossy paint

My first clutch pencil and I really like it. Made well

Je connaissais bien la marque et ce type de porte mine, je constate qu'avec le nouveau siècle la qualité à énormément baisser, si je ne peux obtenir avec le taille mine intégré une mine pointus le critérium est inutile, c'est la même maladie chez d'autres marques, impossible d'avoir un taille mine efficace, il faut acheter en plus un taille mine indépendant qui coute le prix du crayon, ils ont bien entubés tout le monde sur ce coup là les fabricants. (Dans ma jeunesse, n'importe quel critérium de 2 mm à deux balles pouvait tailler les mines de façon efficace, c'est déplorable)

Muito boa e de qualidade superior.

Clasp pencils are amazing. This is a product easy to mess up as modern clasp pencils prefer the old click click approach as appose to the slide and grip mechanism present her. Gives need weight and depth to the feel of a pencil while allowing for an active change in lead types as quick as needed. Very cost effective too and will save a lot of pencil shaves for cleaning. It's an artist essential in my opinion. To give someone the best possible start as an artist this pencil will be the most versatile tool they own. Standard pencils are important. Very nice sleek traditional design. I have seen older models from the 60s and even an old bohemian craft and they were vastly superior but this an amazon purchase for it to include a look of tradition and class is a welcome blessing for such an excellent price and quality. True artist need these and they even come in various sizes. Ideal for those needing a good starting pencil.

Kohinoor sind die Besten!

This product looks and feels good, but the function is lacking. I am used to Staedtler, Faber Castell, and Mitsubishi 2mm lead holders. Those all hold the lead securely with no wobbling around. However, this Koh-I-Noor 5900 and the 5201 do not hold any 2mm lead properly. No lead from any brand is held firmly in this holder. Even the lead that shipped with the lead holders was insecurely held. The worst part is that because the lead is pinched at one point, it creates a stress concentration that snaps softer leads. The Koh-I-Noor 6B and 8B leads are completely useless in their own lead holders because of this issue. If you want to use the (very good) Koh-I-Noor 6B or 8B leads, do NOT use this lead holder. This lead holder is ok to use with harder lead grades despite the wobble. PROS: Looks good Feels good CONS: Lead wobbles Snaps softer lead
