uni Kurutoga Mechanical Pencil Standard, 0.5mm, Red (M54501P.15)

This mechanism is excellent! They always looks like sharp and really lightweight

It’s a bit more on the expensive side but worth it. It rotates every time you make contact with the surface to keep it sharp. Great quality and does the job well for writing or drawing.

Until something new and miraculous turns up, the Kuru Toga will be my favourite pencil.Really affordable, and one of the best mechanical pencils I've used. I bought my first one about 14 years ago and have ended up buying about a dozen for friends to try and turn them onto them.For just under ten pounds, these plastic versions of the Kuru Toga are pretty inexpensive for a Japanese import, and I'd always recommend people buy them as a very worthy addition to any pencil case.

The product was delivered at the stated time and in good condition.

I’ve been using the Uni Kurotoga mechanical pencil for a while now, and it’s honestly a game changer for anyone who writes or draws a lot. The unique rotating lead mechanism means the tip stays sharp and doesn’t get flat like regular pencils. I never realised how satisfying it is to keep writing in a consistent thickness until I tried this pencil and I really hope other brands take ideas from this.The pencil design feels sturdy even though it's made from plastic parts, and comfortable to hold for long sessions, with a nice grip that shows the inner mechanism of the rotating pen engine. I also like how it has a built-in eraser and a nice balance.If you’re into neat, consistent writing or detailed sketches, the Kurotoga is definitely worth trying. It’s a little smarter than your average pencil and makes note-taking or drawing way easier.

This is an amazing pencil. Never thought I would be so excited by a mechanical pencil. I love the orange colour too.

Is it an over engineered mechanical pencil? Yes, however it's the best option out there!No more angled pencil lead wearing down at an angle.It's a must for anyone who needs to do precise drawings

With its zingy colour, cool Japanese styling and cheap price, there is simply nothing not to like about this pencil. I have bought other, plainer versions of this pencil for more money, and now I wonder why. This is just great. The pencil works, and gives a good sharp line and it looks wonderful. It didn't even take long to arrive. Enough said.
