Brass Mechanical Pencil – The Handmade Mark II by Nicholas Hemingway

Whether you are drafting sketches or writing long-form content, this pencil ensures consistent performance.

  • Durable Brass Construction: The solid brass construction provides long-lasting durability, giving you a balanced tool that feels comfortable in your hand.

    How fantabulous, gorgeous and excellent the brass mechanical pencil Mark II is!!! Thank you very much!!!!!

  2. John Alt (verified owner)

    Love the weight of this brass pencil, as usual a super nice job of machining and the tip and cap are perfect.

  3. jdani.otterbacher (verified owner)

    A Spectacular pencil – in with the likes of IJ Instruments, Spoke, Wingback, and Modern Fuel.

    This pencil, for the price it is being sold at, is, in my opinion, one of the best pencils for the money (if you are interested in high-end mechanical pencils).

    The machining is solid, tolerances are spectacular.

    If you have 100 dollars to throw at a pencil, I would absolutely rank this one well above the likes of Modern Fuel and Spoke, which are some pencils within this closer price range.

    The pencil is wonderful, fantastically balanced with a perfect center of gravity, and the grooves that reveal its handcrafted creation give it a unique touch.

    24g of perfect. Does your heart good to even look at it. For what it’s worth I’ll mention: the synergy is really good with Tombow 2H graphite. Mine’s 0.9 mm.

  6. Nuno Barros (verified owner)

    Excelent service from Nicholas.
    The Mech Pencil is very well crafted and a joy to use.
    Can’t wait for my next one. Thanks!

    Will last a lifetime. My 14 year old niece already asked if she could inherit it! I’m not quite there yet. It is weighted perfectly, feels extremely smooth, and looks gorgeous too. I’m not sure what else you could want.

    There is something very tactile about this pencil that makes me write much more. A beautiful object, and machined so finely it took me a number of days before I realised that the tip could be unscrewed.

    This pencil is ideal for those who prefer a sleeker design than the handmade(what i like to call “mark one”) brass pencil. Just like the brass hex,slimline and mark one, this pencil is compatible with pentel’s z2-1n eraser, and would strongly recommend against trying to use a staedtler 92r eraser(to be clear, this is not a knock on the pencil or NH in any way, just wanted to point it out incase someone tries that and gets it stuck). All in all, a pretty good pencil, up there with brands like spoke, just like the other pencils nicholas offers, which all have different form factors.

    The original version seemed like the best of mechanical pencils you can get, but these add a quality of simple beauty.
