Roderick on the Line podcast episodes referenced: If you’re buying from CW Pencils and are looking to add a workhorse cedar pencil with a fondness for fonts to your order, the General’s Pacific is a pretty good choice. It’s not bad, considering that this is clearly not a pencil made for drawing, but one made primarily for writing. The phone above shows you the maximum darkness I was able to produce with the General’s Pacific. It erased out pretty well, even though the writing was dark and done with some pressure. I erased a word between the “S” and the “LATIONSHIPS” on the left side of the closeup above. It doesn’t smudge and holds a point very well. If you’re looking for a #2 writing pencil that could do for a quick sketch in a pinch, the Pacific ought to do the job. You can see the available shades that the General’s Pacific is capable of producing in the closeup of the sea turtle above. The coating itself is pretty thinly layered, but the core is perfectly centred and sharpens like a charm. The green foil imprint quality is not great, with the “Pacific” imprint chipping the pencil’s coating. It’s made in the USA, out of California incense cedar, and has a little red thing on the top that looks like an eraser, but trust me, I wouldn’t try to use it as one. It’s a classic looking #2 (or HB) pencil, with for some reason three or four fonts on the barrel, depending how you count the numerals. Today’s pencil: the General’s Pacific 365 #2. Inspired by this episode of the Pen Addict podcast I decided to literally do a random draw: I randomly drew a pencil from the pile, and then I randomly drew something with it. I have too many pencils which I don’t take the time to use. Treat yourself to the stuff you already own. It’s a “go open you stationery drawer(s) and see what cool stuff you find there” post. I have no idea what the actual model of the pencil is, I’m just guessing that it’s a Ki-Monogatari, which means that this isn’t a “you should buy it” review. I have cool stuff, so why don’t I use it? I found this pencil by accident, totally forgetting that I ever bought it. You can barely see where I tried to smudge the graphite near the front tire. Drawing with this pencil is a dream – it glides on the page, there’s no “grit” to the core, it offers a good range of shading for a B grade, it doesn’t smudge and it keeps a point really, really well. This is a Tombow pencil and one of the things that Tombow do exceedingly well is make woodcase pencils. High quality wood, high quality design, so what about the core? It sharpens like a dream, with a perfectly centred core and no splinters or chunks falling out. You can see the grain of the wood very nicely here:Īnd also come through the chequered pattern: Tombow has one of the best logos in the business. The wood is not cedar, but by the way it sharpens and feels it’s high quality stuff. It has a silky smooth finish, and it’s one of the most attractive woodcase pencils I own. It’s an unlacquered woodcase pencil with a chequered print, a B grade core and it appears to be a Tombow Ki-Monogatari, part of their eco pencil range. I’m pretty sure that I bought it somewhere in London, perhaps in the London Graphic Centre or in stationery section of Foyles, but in any case it isn’t new. I was searching for a craft knife when I stumbled upon this cool pencil just lying around, being beautiful but of no use to anybody:
