Super cool to see the existing lead sizes! For example the 3570 is really only 0.7mm.

I have only seen the 3570 in 0.7, and now we know why! With that said, I have no idea why a drafting-focused company would release such a cool pencil in 0.7 only :woman_shrugging:t5:

3570 is kind of luxury pencil. It’s THICK.

I was so ignorant about LION for the longest time. I think I’d been seeing only their low end models that just didn’t match the refined aesthetics of PILOT, Pentel, Mitsubishi, Sakura… But that 3570 model looks decent.

So good to put a year and era on these lesser known gems…
