Now this is not really my EDC. Just thought it would make for a nice shoot. I really hope to find a 9709 and green Tekagraph, and the missing lead sizes. Maybe someone here can hook me up :eyes:

I have an extra 9707 which I do use often.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I dont think they made a 9709

Possible. I haven’t found one picture. But wouldn’t it be strange considering they did make a 9719?

25

Now that you guys mentioned it, I also can’t recall ever seeing a 9709. Or any half slide / full slide lead pipe in 0,9 from any brand. Maybe its technically unfeasible or unreliable? The larger diameter also means a much larger circumference so more friction?

26

Modern Chinese full metal pencils often have a sliding sleeve, even in 0.9.

I just got a 9715 T which turns out to be a half slide, exactly like the 9705. Considering the 9719 is a fixed sleeve, I don’t see why there wouldn’t have been a fixed sleeve 9709 :thinking:

My minimal EDC for note writing and weekly schedule:

Using the RIR Index Card Wallet for the weekly tri-fold card (keeps all my week data easy to enter and recall) with a modified daytimer pocket notebook and PD345T, Parker Jotter, sometimes Skilcraft B7 multipen for color highlights. The notebook works great as it has index, numbered pages and sturdy paper. Easy pocket kit!

Me too…just a solid bomb-proof click pen. I tend to use the Stabilo 0.5 med refills,

as they are cheap, write well and don’t gum up like the Parker ones​:call_me_hand:

I have a box of Skilcraft U.S. Government pens. They may not be the best writers but part of my collection is pens that have interesting history. They are my “I do not care if I lose them” pens.

I rotate a lot between these these two groups

Sometimes just the mini ballpoint and the knife

Sometimes just the two lead holders

Sometimes just the Mini-Champ (it has a pen)

Most often just the Cyber Tool 41 (it has a pen)

Sometimes just the Waterman and the Pro Use 171

I have tools at the studio

Prep’ing a toolset with a Knipex 100 + 711L Ratchet + Compact DeWalt bit set for my backpack but I really don’t need it. The Cyber Tool has done the job so far.

I tend to use this cheaper Jotter traveling, but have been using this Skilcraft B3 Aviator, 2 color pen, 0.5 pencil for many years for EDC (can you tell?). Somehow haven’t lost it, even while hiking miles up mountains doing arborist work​:sweat_smile:.

Plus a couple of pen/pencil carriers that work for great drawing etc out in the field, very compact.

Small 57 mm Victorinox is my most used knife I have (Rambler). I carry it daily in a small pocket of my jeans originally intended for a lighter (?)
