For a second I thought there was a knurled ring in the middle of your Smash.

So I had a standard 925 35 lying around as part of a bulk sale I bought. I have no feelings whatsoever for the standard color combination. Then I had scraps of black 925 35 rear barrels from modding the 17.5s. Randomly decided to replace the silver accessories on this standard 35 with black ones from the scraps.
The change can’t be simpler but what a transformation. Personally, out of all the 925 35 (standard and limited) colorways, the standard night blue & silver would be ranked bottom half, but this night blue & black, despite not an official colorway, is easily my top 5. I am now deeply in love with this pencil. Unfortunately I have pencils I love even more and currently there’s no use cases for this one.

Thanks! It’s actually the Rite in the Rain index card wallet. Holds cards in front and with some small alterations, a field note book inside…main part of my EDC

You can kinda see the Field Notes in there…
I bought this unusual mechanical pencil with “Fendi” on it. It’s fully rubber-covered and weighs 30g.
It’s much better made than I expected, and feels great to use.

I was happy to see the MS01 offered in 0.3 and a nice shade of blue when the first run was released. And happier still when a different shade of blue was chosen for the 0.5 limited edition in 2024…

Hi @mortalmachine , I like your selection of eraser, especially that MagicRub contraption from Faber-Castell — it is new to me.
Welcome to the community, there is plenty to learn from the masters here, and inspiration to become a better collector runs everywhere in these threads.

Got this perfectly-working 60s Pentel Eleven 11 P2 For Film, worn outer but no rattle at all, less than $2 from a flea market.
