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 stainless steel. 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.

Love this pencil…perfect weight

I love it

I really do. I'm a pencil person and have been on the hunt for a long time looking for the perfect pencil. I've read reviews, looked at Wirecutter, CNet and other articles online. All the while I've been looking at the Mark 3. After two years of being let down by many purchases of other brands, I finally bought the Mark 3. Far more expensive than the others I bought but now I see it's worth! Substantially weighted but not heavy and it's well balanced. The tip of the pencil does not wiggle and is sturdy. I love it.
