Good information because I have Janome pencils…

Ah yes!… But if you were actually “Marooned” on the proverbial desert island with a blank journal, a means of sharpening and the choice of only 4 (different) woodclinched pencils (that are currently in production), which ones would they be?

An interesting scenario. Anyone? I think maybe the problem is that most of the pencil-using experts are subscribed to this blog and don’t visit until there is a new post. As for me, I would prefer to have a mechanical pencil and a supply of different leads. The thought of sharpening a nice wooden pencil makes me cringe a little bit. And don’t you mean “woodcased,” instead of “woodclinched”? The latter limits us to Faber pencils.
