These pencils, which are produced by the UK Parker plant, have excellent construction quality. Stainless steel with a Made in UK imprint and a production date code imprint are radially brushed on the front section. In addition to being pleasant and comfy, the brushed section offers good balance and weight and prevents hand slippage. The steel clip can easily slide over notebooks or pocket fabrics of any thickness because of its nice flex. The mechanism is made in Japan, which is an intriguing fact that is also engraved on it. A very good mechanism that deploys the lead with nice precision. Beneath the push button, there's a handy eraser that you can pull out of the slot while using it. Fantastic
