Thanks Mike, I have a lot of booze right now so I'll just wait and see if I can find some locally. I wouldn't mind if someone brought some to a certain event though.
Perhaps I should try the 0.3mm again. Don't know if will help my death grip since I self taught myself to hold my pencil the "wrong" way.
Also, some of the prices on ebay aren't too bad I think.
I have two of those, the black in 0.35mm and the silver in 0.5mm. I love the 0.5mm but tend to break the lead too much on the 0.35mm. They are really great pencils though.
