Hi,
made these for a shop in Central London to go with some Gents (both sizes).

I quite like them, they are by PSI, the component quality is very good and they are easy enough to turn, but they are a bit short.
The top is a very handy screw off sharpener.
I'm going to make some up with a Schmidt pencil unit for the same size 3mm lead, and they are longer and the components better.

Hi,
David they are PSI mini sketch pencils, and yes i bought them from the ever efficient Jim at Pencrafts.
Pencrafts have other pen kits but the ones i needed had to be 3mm leads.
The picture might illustrate the size, the camera went off before i was ready.
Regards
Pete

The blanks on these kits look good Pete, the second pictures surprised me actually as to the actual size ... :thumbs:

Hi,

they seem good quality but as everyone has noticed they are quite small and at nearly £10 per kit plus blank, i suspect their small size might be a problem sales wise.
We'll see they are to a shop next week.

Regards

Pete

I didn't realise how small they were in the 1st post, i just thought that they were a chunky pencil but they would go nice in a ladies purse, but do ladies actually use pencils. :ciggrin:
