Mechanical Pencil Aphrodite

[qquake2k]

This is one of PSI's 2mm mechanical pencils in chrome. The blank is called Aphrodite Yellow. It's for my friend's coworker, who has a yellow Mustang.

It's a pretty cool kit, I really like the design of it. It even comes with a built in sharpener.

I'm a little confused, though, about the name of the blank. On the website, it's called Aphrodite Yellow With White Swirl. But on the package, it's called Ladies Line Yellow Swirl. Not sure which I like better.

I've made two now, and I really like them. The lead mechanism works well. You click the eraser to advance it, and click and hold to push the lead back in. PSI also sells replacement lead and erasers. I want to try the other platings.

Beautiful job on that Jim
The tip looks hand ground

 

[qquake2k]

I think it's part of the design, to simulate a "sharpened" pencil.

Nicely done Jim. Interesting kit, not crazy about the blank.

I like the look of that one. May have to try looking on PSI more.
Although I try not to, as it normally works out costing me when the wife sees how much I have spent.
