I’m using this Monotech 1000 for the first time. Really solid pencil. It’s a shame they discontinued this.

The Pilot Palmarin and Staedtler Triplus micro have such a bellows between the cap and the body.

Bottom left is unstickered stock in mostly good condition.

Botttom middle '87 stickered set .5 - .9

Today it’s a Pilot H-1095. I had been wanting this one for quite some time. When it came, however, I was a bit let down by how smooth the knurling was. It has a nice, heavy and solid knock, but gripping it at the nose cone is quite uncomfortable due to the stepped design. After all, it is a drafting pencil, not made for long writing sessions, so I can get over that.

The 58X is my favorite of all of them though I do like that one too. The length and heft of it is pleasant.

Looks like you may have gotten a hold of one of the smoother ones.

Which stinks, it changes the whole pencil. The rougher ones are in my top 10, the smoother one just makes me mad.

Wow, so if I’m adding things up correctly, the older version with the deeper blue color and blue cap is the one with proper knurling, whereas the newer version with the silver cap and lighter blue color has the smooth grip? I guess I need another one now.

Sorry for the self promotion but I go over this a little in my video

You know, I’ve seen it, but I completely forgot about that part in my fervor to attain one.

Great videos by the way. Your channel was one of the main things that pushed me deeper into this hobby. That and this forum.
