I just received my package from India with my PL445, PL447 and other pencils.
The PL445/PL447 are a metal bodied pencil with a fully retractable tip. They come packaged in a very nice box.
These were manufactured in November 2024, so they are brand new pencils. The corresponding BL447 and BL457 have been out since 2022 or so.
I saw a couple of posts about these on Reddit earlier this month and found a proxy in India that I could ship to.
Awesome! Where can these be purchased?
I purchased some extra 0.5mm sets for sale here in the US.
Going direct, I bought them off Amazon.in and used https://www.shoppre.com/ as my proxy.
