I am back. Just received my Uni Kuru Toga "HIGH GRADE"... it is quite different from the original Kuru Toga, with a more "technical" look.<br /><div><br />It is a nice looking pencil... my version is a 0.3mm that writes really well and smooth, just like my "old" 0.5mm original KT.</div><br /><div>Have you tested it yet? Let me know what do you think.<br /></div><div>My first impressions were good, but I miss the all transparent mechanism window - here, we only have a small circular window with the rotating KT logo.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEmhlHPI/AAAAAAAAACw/sz2tByAKv9U/s1600-h/15-04-09_1838.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325040445496302834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEmhlHPI/AAAAAAAAACw/sz2tByAKv9U/s320/15-04-09_1838.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEd9LRII/AAAAAAAAACo/aygCHSbBV_s/s1600-h/15-04-09_1837.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325040443196130434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEd9LRII/AAAAAAAAACo/aygCHSbBV_s/s320/15-04-09_1837.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEToCF0I/AAAAAAAAACg/G3FezUJBNQA/s1600-h/15-04-09_1836.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325040440423094082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SeZYEToCF0I/AAAAAAAAACg/G3FezUJBNQA/s320/15-04-09_1836.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/578840617479962832-8781691120767327967?l=coolpencils.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adrianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02753795091495251096noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578840617479962832.post-1207278594105818982009-01-22T19:36:00.003-02:002009-01-22T19:40:56.199-02:00<div>Here are some photos...

Like all the Parkers, it is elegant and good looking when in your shirt pocket.<br /></div><br /><div>Internally, a small eraser that is not really usable; too small, too hard. Works better as the lead compartment door. The clutch mechanism is competent, with any special feature added, but firm and with good stable lead advancement through pushing the upper part of the pencil.<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SDcNywx0QvI/AAAAAAAAABU/pYFFl2S9TYs/s1600-h/Parker_Vector_3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203643060188365554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TywFMhwGeww/SDcNywx0QvI/AAAAAAAAABU/pYFFl2S9TYs/s320/Parker_Vector_3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>In summary, a really nice instrument, extremely good looking (at least for my taste), and with a smooth and stable writing experience.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/578840617479962832-6653176487871632268?l=coolpencils.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adrianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02753795091495251096noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578840617479962832.post-23346893512395784942008-04-26T18:02:00.007-03:002008-04-28T00:46:28.233-03:00I started to think about to create a blog as soon as I saw <a href="http://davesmechanicalpencils.blogspot.com/">Dave's Mechanical Pencils</a> page. So, here is my contribution to that group of people to like fine instruments to write... many times, not the expensive ones, but certainly the coolest :)<br /><br />So, very soon I will publish my first post on my small collection...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/578840617479962832-2334689351239578494?l=coolpencils.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adrianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02753795091495251096noreply@blogger.com2
