![]() ![]() The Le Grande Meisterstück mechanical pencil retails for £270.00 in the UK and I feel that this a reasonable price for the pencil, after using it for a month I am very happy with it. Replacement erasers are sold individually: Replacement leads come in a pack of 10, the plastic casing is quite nice: ![]() Then I have to wind the lead back into the body.Ĭhanging the eraser is simple, all that is required is to slightly bend the holder outwards and the eraser drops out. The lead has to be loaded from the front, this means taking the lid off, removing the rubber, sliding a single lead out and then inserting it into the nib. The biggest disappointment for me is the filling system. If I pause to erase a mistake and then continue writing the different position of the lead changes the sharpness and thickness of the line, this isn't a huge problem but it is a little bit frustrating. The pencil performs well but the 0.9mm lead makes it hard to keep a consistent line thickness. I find that the dimensions and weight of the pencil work really well for me, the large size fits well in my large hands. The pencil measures 15cm in length, this matches the fountain pen when it has it's cap screwed on. The pencil weighs ~50g with the rubber and 8 leads which is a very comfortable weight, I've used it for 3 hour exams and the weight was not an issue.

The Le Grande pencil is only available with 0.9mm lead, the standard size version is available with 0.5 or 0.7mm leads, it would be nice to have a choice with the Le Grande, I prefer 0.5mm lead but my major priority was the larger body size. ![]() The 149 mechanical pencil has a classic design which I love, my first Mont Blanc pen was the ballpoint which is resin with gold highlights and therefore I picked a matching fountain pen and mechanical pencil. The Meisterstück pencil came in the standard Mont Blanc box and warranty booklet. All are Le Grande size, I have quite large hands and in the past I have found that smaller pens make my hands hurt after prolonged use. I received this pencil for Christmas from my father, it completes the set that I have been hoping to own for a few years now, the other two pens being a 149 Meisterstück ballpoint and EF fountain pen.
