Pica is the name. This is the finest marker I've ever used. It can be sharpened to a very fine point with it's own sharpener, it's lead is thick and sturdy, and best of all, it erases easily yet will not smear or wipe off with handling.
I don't know how to embed a video so here's a link.

I bought mine from Woodcraft.

Gotta stop showing this stuff.
Between these, the drill press / umbrella lights etc, my credit card needs a rest.

Nice. Must have. If Amazon sold it, it would be on it's way already. They do have it at Woodcraft, I'll make a trip later.
An interesting quote from the video: It comes from Germany so it's innovative, has useful features and it works.

OK. You guys are costing me way too much with these neat, must have, goodies.
In case anyone is interested Lee Valley (leevalley.com) has these and I just ordered the Pica-Dry Mechanical Pencil with Set of 8 Water-Soluble Leads for $26.45 ($18.50 with $7.95 shipping). You can get just the pencil for $12.95.
