My Venvstas Designer-8 has arrived!

This was my 2024 New Year gift to myself, as mentioned here. It was back ordered and I had to wait a bit but it’s finally here.

Can’t wait to use for a while and report back.

whew! That’s a beauty. Got here quick too.
2.0mm? What is your preferred sharpener?

I’m not picky. I use an Ohto brass sharpener, or just sandpaper sitting on my jeweler’s desk.

It does seem to have better machining and finishing!

Could Mr. Thomas explain the reasons that led him to acquire such an object?

“Decided to grab the Venvstas Designer-8 as my New Year treat to myself. I’ve been so heads down and busy lately that I didn’t even get myself a single pencil or pen for Christmas. Figured I’d go with a 2mm since I’ve been sketching and scribbling so much. Figured it would be a nice change from a 0.9mm or the fat 5.6mm sketch pencils.”
