These are all very nice writing instruments, and I'm ordering some of the Pentel Ain Stein HB leads to bring the experience to the next level.

High quality toys like this are sooo satisfying...

Wow! Those are beautiful, AND expensive.
You got me thinking... my wife and daughter are going to Japan in Nov. Maybe I can research between now and then and give them a short-list to be on the look-out for

PS - regarding quality lead - Yes, I learned the hard way, it makes all the difference!!
