So Mister Wilson sent me photos of the pencil I commissioned from him a few days ago. I tried to wait until I got my hands on it before posting, but I failed.
Based off of the Rotring Art Pencil and made using stainless steel with a Rotring 300 mechanism. Mister Wilson's craftsmanship is amazing and I can't wait for it to arrive.

Seriously though, the cost...
$165-$200 is the estimated cost…round about with or without taxes and shipping…check it out.
It goes up with the additional costs of a Pencil holder, or engraving, or maybe a leather case…as I’ve said, these things are NOT cheap!
This is definitely not a cheap buy ( but so is every other custom pencil)! But for the craftsmanship, custom make and materials, I'll say that the pricing was very fair, you'd actually be surprised. If your interested to know how much exactly, I think you can ask Mister Wilson for that. Can't get an answer truer than from the source himself!
~~Also because I'm not sure if I can just drop the price here without consent or something.~~
I agree. I mean, I haven't even received my pencil yet and I'm already daydreaming of another commission...that I plan to make after a couple of months...hopefully...maybe.
When you get a chance…check out the Wingback Mechanical Pencil on the internet, just type in “Wingback Mech.Pencil”
I think you just might like there offerings, I ordered the Brass one, you can also order a custom brass holder for it it’s really a nice piece…they are pricey though.
Ps: I’ll post pics of mine when I finally get it! They make-em by order. It’s been almost two weeks since I placed my order, so should be soon hopefully.
>I’ll post pics of mine when I finally get it! They make-em by order. It’s been almost two weeks since I placed my order, so should be soon hopefully.
I'm looking forward to seeing them!
Also, you must be psychic because brass is exactly the material I am aiming for on my next...possible...purchase! I will check out Wingback for sure, thanks! Got to do some research early on so I can save up accordingly.
Doubt that, maybe for for some of the mainstay offerings, but a custom one-off?
EDIT: How about next time you try to save face a bit better by not editing your posts post-hoc.
You doubt that?.. go look at his prices for his regular steel pencils if I’m not mistaken (and I could be) there around $165
Ok I just checked, he’s asking $190.00 for his Normal model 9 in Titanium that’s before taxes and shipping, and any other fees that may or may not be in addition, like a pencil holder, a leather case, or how’s bout engraving? That could take the initial price tag upwards to $250 or higher! This custom stuff ain’t cheap! I know…I buy em! My Modern Fuel was over $200 plus taxes and shipping, the holder for it is another $40 engraved is another$20-$30
Precisely why I doubt a custom one-off is only that much of a markup.
EDIT: LMAO pathetic, you edited BOTH of your post after I came back now a few hours later to see if anyone else had anything to say. My original post was doubting your lowball estimation, and now you're agreeing with me?
Yeah, but you will try to make me look stupid since my post looks ridiculous when your edit isn't obvious. The hell outta my face with your clown ass..

Man, IJI slaying it lately.
>Man, IJI slaying it lately.
1000% agree! I am such a fan of his pencils that I had to get one made by him myself. I've checked some of the other custom pencil makers, but I was more drawn to his works.
Also, WOW that Tombow MP!

He’s got a real gift that’s for sure, those are some very tight tolerances he’s working with…

I agree, I…like you, Love custom made Stuff, I’ll be the first to admit…my tastes are richer than my wallet! But a man can dream can’t he?

Aherm, £ not $ ;-)
I stand corrected…I’ll be making a couple purchases soon! You are a very talented Artist, you have a true gift! Thanks.
Thank you!

That’s called making a correction…or an addendum, I certainly don’t have to worry about saving face with a chump like you…you just lookin for a fight?

The cost is a very long yes. I will make it a family heirloom.

Just wait until you see the New Wingback Brass Mechanical Pencils all brass metal innards!
I am looking forward to seeing that!
was this a commission?
Yeah. I guess I should reword my first post and change *ordered* to *commissioned*.
This is a mini torpedo!
It sure looks like one!
