Comments on: Review of Lamy Scribble. http://www.pencilrevolution.com/2006/02/review-of-lamy-scribble/ Pencil Philosophy: Wooden Wisdom, Product Reviews & Ephemera, etc. Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:34:23 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: William Dunn http://www.pencilrevolution.com/2006/02/review-of-lamy-scribble/#comment-409738 William Dunn Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:13:53 +0000 http://www.pencilrevolution.com/2006/02/review-of-lamy-scribble/#comment-409738 I bought a Scribble M43 with the thicker 3.15 lead at University Art in Palo Alto, CA. As the ad line goes.. "I don't leave home without it!" I love the heft of this thickish pencil and the bold line it makes. I'm a watercolor painter and am always drawing figures, land or city scapes or whatever in sketchbooks, watercolor paper, or an array of paper pads. I love this pencil! It makes my drawings look better than they would if I used a thinner lead. The website says there is an eraser in the end cap but that must be with the .07 thinner lead. Mine does not have one, but I don't care. The ergonomics of this pencil is "just right". I like the surface texture of the barrel (they say it's plastic but I can't tell) and the solid well-made feel over all of it. It fits my hand "just right". I use it 75% for drawing... but I also like to take "big" notes with it. Being shorter than a typical pencil, it fits in my jeans pocket very nicely without being an issue when I bend over... it's comfortable to have in my pocket! If I ever lose it... it will take 6 milliseconds before I'll buy another one. Like any good tool or camera or well-made manufactured device, the quality, weight, finish, balance and general "rightness" of this product is exactly right! Though a little pricey, I'll never regrete buying it. Best, Bill Dunn I bought a Scribble M43 with the thicker 3.15 lead at University Art in Palo Alto, CA.

Used to use Kohinoor earlier but this one is far better, each has its palce but this one is spectacular. David has done a wonderful job and I totally agree that despite the clip it keeps rolling all over my desk which I find very irritating. The pencil has a mind of its own. All in all a wonderful design. A truly amazing pencil. Used to use Kohinoor earlier but this one is far better, each has its palce but this one is spectacular.

Nowadays I have one LAMY scribble black Mechanical pencil (3.15)and one Koh-I-Noor Mechanical Pencil (5.6) and both are perfect. I just can't find Lamy or Koh-I-Noor in Edmonton/Canada.

It doesn't come with the useless eraser, and is bombproof. It's a great sketcher, and with a lead pointer can be used for notes on a Rhodia lined pad with great results.

I really like this pencil with the 3.1mm leads - it's perfect for engineering drafting and real-time prototyping for a hobby/tinkerer like myself. I bought a dozen leads at the time, but I've yet to even use up one so far with months of use. If you have a chance, definitely get the red colored leads from a local art store - they're great for marking up metals and plastics.

I used it for about a year and then gave it to a friend. I miss it dearly. It was strangely addictive to hold, and somehow adultly-childlike. It begged to be warmed in the hand and caressed in the pocket. The lead was so large - it created an odd desire to draw, or to leave unnecessary notes in oversized letters. It was the closest thing to a chalk-chuck that only a teacher could ever honestly own. Never give away your only Scribble. I was once given a Lamy Scribble (large lead) as a gift.
