Staedtler 925-25-20 silver 2 mm leadholder photo session and first impression

Ever since I spotted the Staedtler 925-25-20 silver 2 mm leadholder in several fine blogs (like Leadholder.com, Dave's Mechanical Pencils, and Pencil Talk), I had hoped that Jet Pens would bring this beautiful aluminum mechanical pencil to the USA. After waiting for over a year, my wish finally came true. It seems I was not the only one judging by how quickly their remaining stock has dwindled in the past week. I am not about to rehash the thorough reviews already posted long ago in the aforementioned blogs, so I will just share a few photos and my first impression of the most recent addition to my Staedtler collection.
It is certainly a step up from the ubiquitous Staedtler 780 leadholder.

Close up of the uniquely designed knurled metal finger grip and degree indicator ring. The finely textured metal surface provides a secure holding section without being uncomfortably abrasive.
Close up of interior clutch mechanism that holds the drawing lead securely, advances it in a controlled manner, and prevents it from falling off when pressing the button like conventional leadholders.
One sharp looking 2 mm mechanical pencil.
Fun sketching tool.
The Staedtler 925-25-20 silver 2 mm leadholder affords precise control while sketching and looks great: a perfect combination of form and function that is sure to please fellow leadholder aficionados.
