- Nach dem er lange ein schwer zu findendes Sammlerstück war, ist der graue Pentel Smash (Q1005-2A) seit Juni wieder erhältlich; vertrieben wird er exklusiv von Amazon Japan (der schwarze ist nach wie regulär erhältlich.). – Danke an Sola für den Hinweis!
- Den 0,2-mm-Druckbleistift Pentel orenz wird es ab Herbst 2015 auch in Deutschland geben.
Now is the time to Staedtler make the black 925 35 available again! I really liked the 925 model and the black color makes the mechanical pencil even more beautifull. I think is my second best looking pencil (right after the Rotring 600).
The Pentel Orenz being available in Germany is a good sign that the offer is increasing. I hope the 0.2mm leads start to be more available worlwide.
The black STAEDTLER 925 35 is indeed a beautiful pencil, and I would rate its utility value higher than the one of the Rotring 600 because the latter is just to heavy for prolonged writing (at least to me). – To be honest I have finally given up using the 600. One reviewer at Amazon wrote about this pencil: „In short, the pencil is the Apple of mechanical pencils – overpriced, overrated, and overhyped.“ This may sound harsh but I think there is something to it.
A wider availability of the Pentel orenz is a good sign. Not so long ago a 0.3 mm version has been introduced in Japan; as far as I know this is the only 0.3 mm pencil with a full sliding sleeve. Maybe it will be offered outside Japan too!

Now they released the 2B hardness for the 0.2mm leads (before was only in HB or B).
Thank you for that detail. I wonder how it will work!
Good news! It seems they are releasing a new Orenz model: http://pentel.blog.jp/archives/44766965.html
Thank you for that detail! I don’t like rubber grips but it is great to see that the Orenz is getting product care. It would be great if they would issue an all-metal version someday!
If I understand correctly, on google translator it says they will release a metal grip version in January 2016.
Wow! I am looking forward to seeing it.
