I had seen some reviews of the everdraw saying that due to the way it had its grooves/knurling made it was slippery in the horizontal direction. I thought, that can’t be that bad.
It is that bad. It feels like holding a tube of ice. I feel like I need to overgrip it to get a firm grasp while writing.
The event limited models are very cool and there were a few woods (mostly the rosewood curls) that I liked, but for 20.000 yen it’s too expensive and the grip I don’t like that much.
Luddite is releasing many new models so I expect this to be tackled in the future. I’ll probably wait for some new releases.
Thank you for sharing that, Diego. I had been on the hunt for an Everdraw in walnut for a good price. Now hearing that the grip is super slippery… I’m going to wait as you’re suggesting to see what they come up with later on.
I have the Walnut variant and don’t find the grip slippery (maybe it’s because I have a very low writing pressure and don’t need to grip the pencil very firmly).
The sticker price of those is 5500 yen so it isn’t extremely cheap there right? In some regions they’re a bit hard to find, so I guess that’s another reason it sold. Many shops only have the ballpoint.
