Query: Great pencil, but a bit pricey

This is a very comfortable pencil to use. It is thick and has a nice grip which is not too squishy but still soft. I expected the barrel to be metal and weigh more, but sadly it is made out of plastic and feels light for its size. It has a sliding metal sleeve in the center which advances lead when you shake it. It is nice to not have to shift from writing grip to advance lead, but it is in no way a revolutionary feature. I paid 10 bucks for this pencil, which I think is a bit much for what it is (should be around 6-8 bucks IMO). I would recommend theuni-ball KuruTogaas it is cheaper at the time of this review and has a interesting feature of turning the lead as you write, allowing you to always have a sharp point (no chisel tips).
