So I picked up yet another 2 mm
leadholder for my collection on my last trip to the
Utrecht store in Miami: the
Prismacolor Turquoise 02022 (10C). It s barrel markings proclaimed that it was made in
Japan. With its thin hexagonal plastic barrel and rather loose-fitting plastic push-button, my first impression was that this leadholder was flimsier than the reliable
Staedtler 780 and my favored
Mitsubishi Uni leadholders.
Just like the
Mitsubishi Uni, it is also consists of a plastic barrel and inner holding plastic tube with a metal grip, pocket clip, and clutch. Though the
Turquoise was a lot easier to take apart completely, for its knurled metal grip readily unscrewed from its plastic barrel. This was the first time that I have come across a
Rotring branded
HB 2 mm lead. It laid down nice and dark marks on white
card stock and
Maruman Croquis sketchbook paper. A lightweight and comfortable
sketching tool, it would make a nice addition to any
sketching kit.
