The latest micro-recommendation over at Pencil Talk:

These pencils aren’t aimed at writing, yet they are all superb at the task.
Sold to students facing multiple choice exams, they are specialty test pencils. These specific ones are made in Japan, and called “Mark Sheet” pencils. All are first rate, but writing with the Pentel CBM10 Mark Sheet pencil in B is an experience I especially recommend to all pencil users!

What to do with multiple-choice-specific pencils, particularly good for super-smooth writing? I, for one, am content simply to hold one in hand uninhibited, or have one nearby as I read the mysterious genealogy of the pencil.
