Minimal
Nothing in the way.
Mark Three has a seamless body, with a matte black or white finish, and the cap on the end is polished steel, either plain or coated in PVD copper. No logos or excessive ornamentation to be found here. We consider it a sibling to our Mark One retractable pen, and they will look great on a desk next to each other.

Durable
Made to last a lifetime.
Mark Three is incredibly durable. It is made entirely out of metal, and coated with Cerakote, an extremely durable ceramic-polymer coating (technical specifications for Cerakote). It gives the pen a really nice, matte feel. The lead advancing mechanism is very easy to replace, should it ever fail. This pencil should last a lifetime.

Eraser
Hidden under the end cap.
What’s a pencil without an eraser? Mark Three includes a small one, which is hidden underneath the end cap. It is a standard size and replacements are easy to find when it wears down.

Nice, wish there was a repair guide

These pencils are super nice and very useful. I have two and use them frequently. That said one of mine has broken recently and I can't find instructions anywhere on how to repair it--the metal part that screws into the pen (second column, first and second piece in the Durable image) has become detached from the pen body which makes the whole back end fall out. If anyone's had a similar issue please let me know.

Robust and elegant!

I’m extremely happy with my purchase. Very high quality machining, sturdy mechanism, and timeless look. Worth the price.

I like this pencil a lot. I love the pen. My only problem with the pencil is the eraser access. Have to screw off the back to get to it and it is very small. However, that is a very small thing. Great pencil, great weight.
