The packaging:

The Nitecore NTP40 package remembers the one previously seen with the NTP30 tactical pen. We have a semi-rigid black cardboard box. On the front the writing Nitecore, the name of the model NTP40 and the type of mechanical pencil TITANIUM ALLOY MECHANICAL PENCIL 0.5mm Lead. In the central part there is also the stylized design of the new NTP40.

Inside the package we find the Nitecore NTP40 inserted inside a shaped protective foam with a yellow cardboard on it with the writings that identify the main parts that distinguish the Nitecore NTP40.

Nitecore's NTP40 mechanical pencil is made of TC4 titanium alloy and CNC machined. With this type of processing a light product is obtained but at the same time very resistant to impact and corrosion.

In addition to being light, the NTP40 holds well in the hand and does not slip thanks to the special 26-thread slip-resistant processing. This treatment facilitates writing comfort even for prolonged use.

The internal cartridge containing the mines is of German construction. It is a 0.5mm Schmidt Feinminen system.
This system allows a smooth and legible writing in every situation.

The Nitecore NTP40 can also be completely disassembled.

The processing of the NTP40 threaded parts is always of quality. The thread are precise and smooth.

Particularly at the head of the NTP40 is the mine thrust cap with the cap with crystallized finish for excellent abrasion resistance. Every pressure we make on the head pushes the mine out perfectly and evenly.

The Clip that we find installed on the NTP40 is also made of titanium alloy and allows an excellent portability of the NTP40. It can be removed by unscrewing the two fixing screws.

The writing NITECORE NTP40 is excellent and we find it engraved on the central body of the pencil.

Thanks for the review! That surely seems a nice pencil! Too bad that it’s price is…three digits! Seems reliable, though !

Actually a detailed review but I would like to have more photos. I’m really interested in professional writing so the right tool is very important to me. But anyway, I like this review and hope to read something like this but about another product.

Maybe I missed it, but I never saw how the lead is retracted. That’s the one feature that matters most to me, since I am constantly having to pull the pencil out of my shirt pocket, write a bit, then put it back in my shirt pocket (lead retracted). Quick, one-handed retraction is what led me to the Pentel GraphGear 1000, and so far that is my go-to pencil. But it’s definitely not titanium.
