Zebra Pencils
May 4, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Art & Design
One of my more recent obsessions as of lately is the Zebra mechanical pencil you see above. They were introduced to me by my amazing assistant Sarah whom I had over at Causecast. These things are cheap and plastic, but they’re designed pretty perfectly. They’re not too big and not too small, come in black and white, and have a great eraser to them.
You can get a 28 pack with both black and traditional yellow pencils for $10 on Amazon.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I love Zebra pens—specifically the F-402. I worked at Staples for a while and I don’t think I’m going to need to buy another pen for years. I might need to give their pencils a shot, though.
I LOVE these as well, they scratch up on the surface pretty quick but makes for a rugged appeal & all the more sensational when you start a new one. D’llish!
I bought these a couple of months ago, and haven’t used another pencil since. You have to be careful though, people are fond of stealing them!
I’ve always been a big fan of Zebra products. Though when I went to Japan last summer, I came back with a great deal of Japanese Office Products. I’ve never fully understood why American office supplies are so cheap feeling. Japanese Office Supplies generally feel more purposefully built, and are more user friendly. Its amazing how much difference a good pen can make. Also, the Zebra F-402 is amazing. I always keep one with me. Good solid pen.
these look amazing, so much better than the papermate sharpwriter. do they sell these at staples?
@Noah – Yeah, that’s where I got mine. 10 pack for $3.
Yeeah I use the Zebra F-402 pens at school all the time, love them.
You had me at mechanical pencil and I adore Zebra!
The disposability of these worries – is there a way to replace the lead when you run out, or do you just throw the whole thing out and move onto the next one?
[...] These Zebra Mechanical Pencils are just delicious looking. Thinking I shall pick up a few! Via +KN [...]

wow !
These are the Best!!! And so much Fun! I love the look, feel and size. The fact you never have to sharpen, its retractable but the looks of an old pencil but in black. I’ve turned 5 friends on to these, because of the look, and they hadn’t even been using pencils… they are now.. Love ‘em
