Hello:

I'm looking for a source of thin pencils like the ones found
in Doug's PSK. the small red one's.

I'm looking for maybe 30 - 40 of them.

Anyone know where I can buy some.

The golf score card one's are too big for my use.

Thanks,

Ikea - free!

Thanks for the replys.

Well, there's no IKEA in Vermont. What kinda store is it anyway. And None of the art store in my area have
pencils that skinny.

Thanks for the thoughts anyway.

Ikea is a furniture store. they give golf pencils to customers so you can write down on the piece of paper what stuff they want and do a little planning.

I saw the link to ebay for the golf pencils.
I can get tons of those. I'm looking for the smaller diameter ones. Like the small red ones in Dougs PSK.

They are about 1/2 the diameter of a stanard golf pencil.

Thanks,

You could get out yer pocketknife and custom whittle them to whatever diameter you desire - storebought is not the only solution to every problem...

One German company has them: http://www.bleispitz.de/ - it would be the 5.5mm diameter

Could these be termed "Bridge pencils" by some makers? http://www.atlaspen.com/static/products/811.php?item=811&pv=1

This company has something called a toothpick pencil. You can see it here.

Those toothpick pencils are what I'm looking for.
Problem is I need 50 not the minimum order of 500.

thanks for all the input.

I notice Doug's PSK's (saw some at a camping store) now come with normal golf pencils.

If you want an ultra-tiny writing implement, you could use a piece of the lead from a drafting pencil. You can get those leads at art stores. They're a little smaller in diameter than those toothpick pencils, i.e. still thick enough to write with if you're a little careful. I think 2mm thickness is standard.

(Edit:) Googling found this: http://www.pencilpages.com - wow. More pencil info than you could want, and a classified ads section where you could ask about particular types of pencils.
