I've had my Midori pencil for over 2 years now. I use it mainly outside. It has been stood on, sat on, used for many other things apart from writing, and it still has not broken. In fact as it is brass it looks even better than when I bought it. So much so that I've just got another one for a friend. The pencil supplied is good quality, and refills are easy to get, but it will also take any normal sized round pencil if you need a different lead type. For years I looked for something like this.

Stunning pencil which will just get better with age. Worth every penny and the refills are very reasonably priced too. Great service, as always, from The Journal Shop.

Wow love this pencil, was pleased with the size just right to fit on my passport midori. Couldn't believe how light it is n feels real nice to write with. Use everyday with my diary. Had lots of different pencils but this one beats em all. Thanks again journal shop for such lovely stationary n super fast n friendly service.

Love this pencil and wish I'd known about it earlier, having tried several others before! Bright brass on arrival but will apparently darken with age which will be better :-) Think I'll try changing to 'H' pencil rather than HB as I prefer this for writing - not sure I'll find one to fit tho. Otherwise all good!

Great looking pencil and very versatile. Great for taking notes on a daily basis. Would recommend to anyone.

This thing is cool looking. What's more if you want to use a different pencil in it you can simply chop your chosen pencil down to size and use some electrical tape to secure it into place.

Best thing ever for those tricky Sudokus & Codewords. Rubber works brilliantly.

Not cheap, can't argue that it is. When you first hold it with the wooden pencil sticking out, it looks as though it will bend/snap - it doesn't. You could just jam an old golf pencil in the elastic of a midori notebook, but that just feels.. wrong. Get this, ideally with the larger of the two pen holders. The short wooden pencil that comes with it is v. good quality. It will take (stubby) normal hex pencils, but the round ones will fit better. I like the darker vintage/distressed feel the brass gets after a while, although it goes through a greasy/dirty feeling stage first.
