The Paper Mate SharpWriter isn’t a pretty of fancy mechanical pencil, but it’s comfortable to hold, lightweight, and has a playful colour scheme that recalls a woodcase pencil. The lead itself is a solid HB 0.7mm lead that is smooth and on the slightly darker side of HB. The eraser is downright phenomenal, as it actually erases things quite well, and doesn’t tear into the page. It’s going to take some time for me to get used to it. It works, but I’m not a fan as it makes me feel as if the lead is broken inside and I have to extend it to get rid of the small broken piece and reach the “real” lead left inside. The second part is the “lead cushioning mechanism” which means that the lead springs up and down as you right, preventing you from breaking it if you exert too much pressure. It’s a twist mechanism, and it’s pretty sophisticated as it allows you to easily extend and retract the lead to suit your needs. First and foremost, that’s where the lead propelling mechanism is, which caught me by surprise. There are some interesting things going on with the business side of this pencil. ![]() It’s a pencil that’s meant for students and bills itself as having less lead breakage, and so 0.7mm is the way to go.

It’s as if Paper Mate saw the “ Think Different” ad and said, “yes, but how can we apply that to a mechanical pencil?” Paper Mate SharpWriter.įirst of all, you can buy the Paper Mate SharpWriter in many different widths, as long as they’re all 0.7mm. It’s a mechanical pencil with a twist mechanism in the tip instead of a click mechanism under the cap, it actually has a serviceable eraser, and it’s non-refillable. The Paper Mate SharpWriter is a strange beast, full of surprises.
