A mechanical pencil that keeps its tip sharp as you write. The MITSUBISHI PENCIL Kuru Toga (Kurutoga) Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm features the revolutionary Kuru Toga Engine — an automatic lead rotation mechanism that turns the lead slightly with every stroke, ensuring the tip stays sharp and writes consistently fine, dark lines.
