Still, $ 28 a pencil?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stuff, but Insanely expensive. The Chopstick Maker is cheaper.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, with additional supplies, presumably the per pencil cost goes down? But I don't see those supplies for sale.
ReplyDeleteThe promotional video is an animation - I'd be more convinced by actual film of a person using this.
One more thing. The kit has been available for pre-ordering for years (this link from February, 2018): https://bleistift.blog/2018/02/make-pencil-593-75/
ReplyDeleteProbably best to be cautious.
Stephen, thanks for that link. I think I must have seen Matthias’s post, but if I did, I’d long forgotten about this over-the-top item.
ReplyDeleteIs this kit a pencil equivalent of vaporware? Shavingsware?
Staedtler had (has?) a beautiful, humble pencil-making kit. That one’s more my speed.
