Pentel has come out with a new style metal grip option on their Orenz Grip Metal line. This grip has a grid knurling rather than just the lined knurling of the original style. The Pentel Orenz features an innovative pipe tip that protects your lead as you write. You start writing without the lead protruding, and the pencil feeds your lead as necessary. This protects your super fine lead from breakage, and enables you to write with a finer lead than you might usually be able. The Pentel Orenz NEW Metal Grip is available in .2mm, .3mm, and .5mm. Eraser refills available. This pencil is also available in .5mm. The original style of metal grip is also still available.

Pentel Orenz Grip Metal

This pencil is in a league of it's own. For precision work, there is none better. In fact, it's as close as a 'do everything' mechanical pencil available today:
Lead protection is very effective, i have Ain Stein 0.2 2B loaded and rarely have lead breakage.
Long writing between knocks gets it close to an autofeed pencil.
Lead rotation is unnecessary with the 0.2 mm size, the 0.3 does benefit from rotating the pencil in your hand every few words but it's optional!
The grip is different, but I quickly became used to it. It is secure and somehow contributes to the precision of putting the lead in an exact location.

I have a notebook with an extra extra narrow line spacing. At first it was almost unusable for me so I practiced tiny penmanship in it. 0.4 mm is a little big for this application. With other brands of pencils I use 0.3 mm, when I switch to the Orenz metal grip in 0.3 my writing naturally speeds up! With the 0.2 the writing is natural, precise, and even faster. It's just so controllable.
The cost for all this goodness is lead usage. Naturally, very thin diameter lead will wear down faster. For me it's a very acceptable trade-off.

Pentel Orenz Grip Metal .5mm

I really enjoy all 3 sizes of the Orenz. At first, you may think that the advanced lead protection features of this pencil are not necessary on a 0.5 mm lead size. 2 features make this an exceptional pencil in this size: 1.) the lead sleeve completely retracts, making this model pocket safe, and 2.) the lead sleeve moves into the body as you write. This much travel gives me a full written page (with 0.5) before the next lead advance.

The grip feels unusual but I adapted quickly. I found the black anodized grip gives less 'bite' to the rings and is a little more comfortable.
