Title: Nice 6mm Lead Holder, Solid and Comfortable to Hold
Review: I don't have a lot of use for a 6mm lead holder at present, but 6mm leads seem to be nice for shading large areas and bold line-work. This is a solid, well built holder. The triangular (vs round) body shape makes it comfortable to hold. The push button has a nice firm but easy spring tension, and the clutch mechanism works great. Overall, this is an excellent lead holder.

Title: Good quality
Review: I'm happy with the size and weight of this, as well as the quality. I also have the smaller version and I like using both of them. I'm having fun with the larger leads because they give me a more expressive line.

Title: Winning design from the inventors of clutch pencils.
Review: Koh-I-Noor makes a lot of very serviceable metal clutch pencils, but the octagonal shape of many of them feels just a bit clunky, the metal a bit heavy. There's a short Koh with a pocket clip feels better, being lighter for the length... and because it has 3 indentations that triangulate the barrel, making for very pleasant handling.I first found this - ergonomic? - design in the Staedtler triplus fineliner, wished other companies would follow suit. A hexagonal design, like the wood pocket Worther pencils, give the triangular grip as well.So, expected good things from this 5347 model, given its triangular barrel, and its [hopefully lighter-than metal] plastic body. And I got just that; so delighted I bought two more, one of those for a friend who was likewise impressed.Koh makes another pocket-clipped, shorter clutch pencil that tapers at both ends. This is another favorite shape, have some short pocket E+Ms with this oval design. Plus Koh flattened this barrel's curve at 120-degree intervals for the tri-grip.So this would be a great favorite of mine were it not the very heavy metal design. Hope they decide to make a plastic model of this as well.

Title: Feels really nice, especially for the price
Review: I've been playing around with leadholders lately and wanted to try 5.6mm, I got the store brand one from Jackson's Art but it felt sort of cheap and this was the next least expensive one I could find on short notice. I love it, really good for dramatic lines with a softer lead. The thing itself feels very substantial and high quality. One thing that might not be obvious from the listing is that it's triangular like a lot of Koh-I-Noor's artist pencils, but it's got little inward ridges on the corners for a little extra grip.

Title: My wife loves hers.
Review: I like this pencil. I was tempted to get one for myself but I favor smaller lead. 2mm is about my max. Still my wife loves this pencil. There's nothing really terribly fancy about it, it's just a comfortable lead holder with a good solid weight. I don't own a sharpener for this size lead, but she's never groused about it. She just "shades" it back into a point shape. I write music with pencils but she uses it for drawing. I think it is exceptional conveyance of that task.

Title: Should have paid attention to the 1 star reviews.
Review: No clip. That's okay. Cap will spin but won't unscrew so there is no sharpener. I expected better.

Review: Well built and solid. It is a bit thick but I have big hands and it it just fine to me. It is particularly well versed for shadowing and drawing, but not only. I use all manner of pencils, traditional, mechanical, play graphite and color, the full H and B scale.This is a 4B and it is the one I reach for most often.A bit messy on the paper and the hands, but maybe that is me. Well worth the modest price of admission, it was dispatched quickly and arrived timely.
