Once the sleeve is fully retracted, you simply click once and keep drawing. Pentel Orenz Review ApOver the past 20 years I’ve sharpened my way through countless pencils, and I can honestly say that the Pentel Orenz is the greatest drawing pencil I’ve ever used. You never actually advance the lead beyond the tip like you do with a regular mechanical pencil, it’s there, you just can’t see it. It’s quite clever.basically, the end of the metal tip is rounded and as you’re drawing the sleeve ever so gradually retracts into itself to expose the lead. The Orenz mechanical pencil features a fine 0.3 mm lead. It is as sleek and black as its name suggests with the body and grip a single piece resin and metal composite. Without such a mechanism, drawing with ultra-thin leads wouldn't be practical. Pentel Orenz Nero Mechanical Pencil is the high-end version of the popular Pentel Orenz range.

The retracting sleeve (Pentel calls this “Super Sliding Sleeve”) comes into play by preventing the leads from breaking like they do in regular mechanical pencils. As you’re lines are flowing and you’re getting into a rhythm, you need to be concentrating 100 % on the subject in front of you and not be distracted with how quickly your pencil is becoming dull.

The best part is that you’re no longer stopping constantly to re-sharpen your pencil tip with a knife or sandpaper block.you can’t get sharper than a 0.2 mm needle tip. Pentel Orenz Nero Mechanical Pencil is the high-end version of the popular Pentel Orenz range. When you have such a thin lead you’re able to draw with extraordinary precision, but at first it takes a bit of adjusting.
