correction about the kurutoga mechanism 🤓: the advance (or w-speed or double speed) engine is featured in the- kurutoga pipe slide, kt advance, kt advance upgrade the dive, KS, alpha gel switch, (new) metal, all have the kurutoga KS mechanism, in which the rotating piece is towards the butt of the pencil, to reduce tip wobble. i believe all other kurutogas have the basic rotating mechanism (including the roulette)

Rotring 600 is my #1 favorite I like the weight of it and makes writing comfortable.

Same here, definitely my favorite for 0.5 and 0.7mm. Recently I've really enjoyed my Staedtler 925-35 "All-Black" 2.0mm lead holder, really similar feel as the Rotring 600 but at the 2.0mm size!

I own 5 pencils and they were all on the list. Had them all a few years and all going strong. Rotring 600, 2 x Staedtler 925 (1full metal&1plastic), Graphgear 1000 and the base Uni Kuru Toga. After watching this I'm going to buy another😁

so glad the Rotring 600 did so well: this is a lovely mp, not my favourite but it’s still a good pencil - glad Uni kuru-toga did so well too, this was my first mp and still my favourite!:)

As a true American, I want to state my opinion without actually voting: My favorite is the Pentel Quicker Clicker, in .5 mm. Lately, I have been using Alvin's Draftmatic in 0.9 mm lately for work notes though (and would like to say how disappointed I am that they messed with the color and knurling of that fine pencil).

I really liked this video and hope you'll continue this trend of contrasting your list with viewers list. To me, it feels like the price of the pencil played the biggest role for the ordering. And then we also have the "superstar" pencil Rotring 600 which breaks this bias, making it the true "best value" mechanical pencil. I have one question for people who participated in the voting as I missed it. Did you get to choose only one pencil out of the options or was it like you had to make your own top 10 list? I think the later approach would be even more interesting to see.

First great to see the viewers selection. More interesting to know everyone collective "mindset". And yup ..I knew it ... nothing beats the Rotring 600 (except the 800 :) ) ... it is simply the feeling of super quality and outstanding "Feel". It is strange every time I pick another pencil I think to myself ... how does this compare to the 600? And every single time ... the 600 "feel" wins ... It is what it is.

Pentel orenz Nero, feels more refined
@John_Smith__

@@Alex-mc4fh I also think the Orenz Nero is much more sophisticated. The operation System is fantastic. Specially on the 0.3mm it is indeed Superb. Yet even being a much simpler "design" the feel of the 600 while writing is amazing. Oh, and I voted for the 600 first, then the Orenz Nero, Kerry ... Great pencils.

I feel like, functionally, all this does is demonstrate the comparative ubiquity of models. I certainly haven't tried out all the pencils on the left list. And the ones I *have* tried are almost all in the list on the right. I trust the Spoke 6 is probably incredible, but I don't own one and have never even seen one in the wild. But I have two Pentel Sharp Kerrys in the pen mug on my desk and another one lives at my office.

A great choice. When I lost my black Rotring 600 in .9mm and couldn't find another (still haven't found another), I picked up a 500 and it was a revelation that such an inexpensive pencil could feel so right in my hand.
