Yes! This version of the Jibson comes in several colors ![]()
How’s the mechanism? Seems oddly priced at ¥380!
Just a little more red, before the day is up. ![]()
Sharbo X ST3. I don’t know the name of this colorway. I like the silver/red contrast.
Some good value mechanical pencils:
The KT Gel Switch is nice, but the grip is a little too soft/gooey for my taste. Love the Zebra Delguard LX in Fog White! And of course, the Karakaze01 is terrific.
Super easy to swap to whatever, as it isn’t connected to either the back or front at all.
Thank you!
My god, they are beautiful!
Have to admit, some of them haven’t even been in rotation but sometimes I just pull out the box file and it’s so calming to see the colors all lined up in a row. ![]()
This reminds me of the colour pencil boxes of my childhood
How do you fold the paper in such a way to be uniform for the slots?
Just basic high school trigonometry: Internal height of the box file = height of triangle. Divide internal width of box file by desired number of slots to get 2x base of the triangle. Calculate the hypotenuse for the slanted sides per slot. Measure and mark out the divisions on the card. Score and bend accordingly.
Dang
I was hoping you’d say there is a place that sells them…..
On the plus side, this homemade system lets me store pencils on BOTH sides. Flip the case over and you get Side B. Commercial slots and dividers only fit half as much.
The orange Katakana is a like a cool lil Easter-egg. My eyes slipped by 2x with a vague sense of something being off
