I’m wondering if it could potentially be argued that the pencils without erasers are most often on a higher tier.
Is it possible to say, in quantity, there are more pencils that are superb without erasers than there are with?

There is also the Pentel PMG & PG (PG2, PG4, PG5, PG7) pencil.

I’m thinking… however, I never use the integrated eraser anyway…

About the only time I do is if I am in a meeting, since I don’t generally bring a separate eraser to those.

So you can’t take PG models to meetings

Unless they make a PG Scepter… I don’t think he’s worried about it

I prefer PG or older Graph, if we’re talking about Pentel…

I am very happy with the whole Accugraph line (I use the 0.3 approximately 0.0 times) but I am in love with my PG15.
I will buy the next one I can find for a very low price so that I can actually use it often.

PG15 is a great piece, but that grip…
EDIT: it slides…

Mechanica is also “eraserless”
EDIT: As far as I know the PD Matic classic and the Arc 1 are also eraserless

Your photos and high opinion of the Scepter made me really want one. Right now, I’m on the search for a good condition specimen (if anyone have one for sale, dm me, please)

To those who mentioned others without erasers….
That’s exactly my point, that there are many and I welcome other responses mentioning some of the best that do not have an eraser attached.
The question then brings these (and others)
There are many WITH an eraser that are just as legendary.
Can it be figured out which catagory has MORE great pencils and if it can and it’s figured that the non eraser category is heavier then it makes me wonder if it’s the inclusion of an eraser that began a path of too much engineering. Further, what would pencils look like if the eraser was removed and the focus went back to making a pencil that ONLY writes?
[ ie; it erases so now it needs to shake to advance, or now it needs to have another “gimmick”.
Now it needs to contain a cartridge.
What other things can we add for convenience? ]
What about if we ignore “convenience” and focus on just a pencil that operates flawlessly?
Did that happen and that’s why we started to add to it?
Did the mechanism reach perfection so now we need to expand our horizons?
Which non eraser pencil was perfection?
Who was the first to add an eraser?
Am I just creating a question that really makes no sense to find a response to?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the lack of an eraser were correlated with a pencil’s professional grade. I don’t think I’ve ever felt the need for the small eraser hidden under the cap, since electric erasers were pretty much part of the standard drafter’s setup, along with the articulated drafting arm.

As far as I’m concerned, the ONLY pencil that got the eraser right, are the Pentel PD3xx models.
