The Pica pencil is the first mechanical model I’ve really loved. Like all automatic pencils, it requires no sharpening. What’s different is the lead: Its size and hardness are perfect for use on wood. It’s soft enough to mark a clear line on dark woods and thin enough to make precise lines. At the same time, the lead isn’t so thin and soft that it breaks every time you hit a grain line, which happens with others I’ve used. I haven’t touched my old-fashioned pencil since I got this one.
