Hello, everyone. This issue is about the evaluation of Japanese mechanical pencils. Sometimes I really feel incredible. Can you write in this state? This mechanical pencil is probably the most expensive of all the mechanical pencils I have ever encountered, and it is also the winner of the Japan Stationery Award 2021 in the category of mechanical pencils.
There are two mechanical pencils, and the price is not cheap. We haven’t opened the package yet. We will start shooting from the unpacking. In my impression, the Japanese mechanical pencil is about 200 yen and 300 yen, which is more than 20 yuan. But the price of these three pencils, especially this one, is more than ten times the price of ordinary mechanical pencils. Let’s start with the most expensive pen. This pen is probably the most expensive of all the mechanical pencils I have encountered in my life. I sold it at Aeon Supermarket. Because the price was too high, there was only this empty box on the counter. I took this empty box to the place where I collected money and asked the cashier to find the corresponding pen according to this box. The cashier took a pen from the counter, but there was a lot of dust on the box. Judging from the dust, this pen probably sold not very well because of its high price. I think the design of this box is very attractive to men.
My son is 12 years old this year. He is in the sixth grade of primary school. He took a fancy to this pen at a glance and liked this box very much. Before I started shooting, because I had to start shooting from unpacking, I couldn’t let him open the pen first, so he kept looking at the box. It is said to be very advanced. Er, after opening the box, there is an instruction manual inside. There are words and diagrams on it, how to use it. Then on the back of the manual, there is a warranty form. The warranty period is one year. There is also a sentence on it that is very touching, that is, I hope you can use this pen permanently and continuously. Because the price is too high, I think I will continue to use this pen forever. Now let’s take a look at this expensive mechanical pencil. Why is it so expensive? What are its characteristics?
First of all, after opening the box, ah, the feeling when I hold it in my hand, uh, is that this pen has a certain sense of weight, yes, um, among all the mechanical pencils I have used, it should be the heaviest in grams, uh, and its pen feel is a metallic texture. It feels very comfortable, and it has a certain sense of sophistication. It is only vertical, er, it has edges and corners when it is vertical, and then when it is horizontal, it also has a skid-proof design. It makes people feel very comfortable when it is oblique. Maybe its color, ah, girls may feel a little monotonous. Maybe they hope that there will be red, or light pink, or light purple, but now it only has black. This one must be deeply loved by Kazakh men.
Next, let’s take a look at its eraser again. After it is opened, uh, the eraser is also slightly longer than the eraser of other mechanical pencils. Its biggest selling point, ah, is the sentence written on the box. You only press it once, and then you will have the pleasant sensation that the lead, ha, continues to come out. Let’s take a look. Now press it and have a look, oh, first of all, the metal head comes out first, and then, er, The lead has been pressed out. Let’s draw on the book now to see if it can come out automatically without pressing its label. From unpacking to now, I have only pressed the head of this pen. I pressed it three times. When I pressed it for the first time, uh, the metal head came out, and when I pressed it for the second and third times, uh, a little bit came out. Now let’s draw on the book, ha, to see if there is no sign coming out after drawing. Er, can it come out automatically without pressing its sign? I have been drawing for more than a minute. This piece of paper is almost full. The lead that I pressed out has almost been drawn off. You can see that the head is in this state now. If you look at it like this, if you don’t look carefully, you can hardly see that there is a lead core under the metal head.
Let’s write it in this state and see if we can write it without pressing. What do you write? Um, let’s just write down the numbers. 12345, ah, now we have written down ten numbers. Let’s take a look at the change in the thousand, ha. It seems to be a little shorter than before. Almost now we can’t see any lead under the metal head. Can you write it out? Let’s draw in this way. It’s more intuitive to draw in this way. You can write without pressing. This is a breakthrough in the common sense of mechanical pencils. You can write without pressing. Now it’s written in this state. Maybe you can see it more clearly. It means that the fit between its metal lead and its lead is very close. You can hardly see any lead exposed outside the metal lead head.
Let’s take a look again. In this state, sometimes I really feel incredible. Can I write in this state? Ah, yes, there is no problem at all. Now let’s try its eraser. Let me write the words “mechanical pencil” and then use the eraser to see how its eraser looks. It’s incredible. It really doesn’t need to be pressed again. His signature automatically comes out bit by bit, but you can’t feel the vibration it comes out at all.
Next, just take the eraser. Ah, the eraser is also OK. It’s very easy to wipe the words clean. Then shoot the other two pencils. These two mechanical pencils are the two pens I bought in the bookstore. The price of these two pens is not cheap. Let’s start with this pen. I fell in love with this pen at first sight. It was placed in the stationery shop of the bookstore. There are many colors of this pen. There are red, pink, black, dark blue, and silver. I chose this silver one.
