I love the way the Leonardo looks but have not seen/held one in person. Can you really use it like any other pencil to write things,or is it just for “scetching” ? Thanks! Tony.

Hello Gonçalo, I’m sorry, but I am not familiar with any other versions of this pencil.

I bought a beautiful Leonardo Sketch Pen before they packaged it in a square big blue box, and yet with a little furrow to support it on the drawing table.
I’d like to know if it is still manufactured, or if only the new model (without the furrow/slot) can be purchased. And which one do you prefer?

the WOW factor is unmatch. I have collection of pens including Leonardo-Pen (Pencil) but whenever I take this out I do not feel like keeping it back but at last it is pencil.

Can any body give me some hint on putting a clam on this.

Has anyone managed to find a pen refile that will fit the MB Leonardo Sketch Pencil. If so please advise which ballpoint or rollerball pen refile would work. I love the fact that it has such a unique look and feel – if this could be achieved I would buy a second one to convert into a pen and keep the origional as a pencil. It’s always nice to have the matching set!

Any ideas are welome.

I have used the Leonardo for some time and often buy packs of third party 5.6mm leads and charcoals. Simply fold a piece of medium coarse sandpaper around five to six leads and roll them on a flat surface- this will reduce the diameter until they fit.

Creatacolor makes a 5.6 mm black lead called “Negro” that is black like a colored pencil but not waxy its wonderful. Not as much smudging also. But I’m gathering that 5.6 mm wouldn’t fit? that montblanc made thiers 5.5mm. thats a shame because I was going to buy it just to use the Negro leads in—Oh well.

I love this pencil, As an artist & designer it is a must for all forms of sketching just makes you feel good just looking at it, even before you have it in your hand. I love affair waitng to happen when you touch the paper.

I’ve an extended collection of fountain pens and pencils but every day I use the Leonardo Sketch Pen. With this masterpiece it’s possible take notes, write articles, capture ideas and so on… and I’m not a designer… The penknife (embedded in the cap) is not so efficient, however it’s sufficient to use a small sheet of sandpaper and you can go everywhere!

Cheapjoes does sell a 2B (only) 5.5 six-pack. By a company called “Grafitti” from Ehler’s in Germany. But, they can not be found (by me!).

I have found a web page that MAY have non-Montblanc 5.5, versus 5.6 replacement leads. They say so, anyway. That said…I do not yet know the grade…http://www.cheapjoes.com/art-supply/SF2841_6506_graffiti-mm-graphite-refill-leads.asp
