Nice feel to it, love the metal grip. Just below the metal grip is a rubber o-ring for a little extra help in the grip department. The top half is plastic and the bottom half is metal, gives a nice weight to it with a lower center of gravity. The Kuru Toga feature, which rotates the lead about 20 degrees every time you lift your pencil off the page, works well. Tried it on different writing angles and seemed to work perfectly. Note that the feature does have about 1mm of spring to the lead, although I barely noticed it while using. The eraser is smaller than most other pencils I've used. Under the eraser is a smaller hole than usual to insert your leads but if you turn the pencil upside down without the eraser it keeps the leads inside still unless you shake it some. Packaging is good, protects the pencil well during shipping. Included 2 leads.
