Pentel Orenz Nero Mechanical Pencil with Lead Refills 0.3mm

Pentel is a Japanese company that manufactures and sells Stationery and office supplies (art materials, writing instruments, etc.). For over 70 years, Pentel has supplied the world with the highest quality products. Pentel is the only writing instrument company to receive the Deming Award for recognition of the highest standard of quality.

This mechanical pencil features 0.3 mm lead for amazingly thin, clean lines. Its metal grip gives the pencil a low center of gravity for a stable, comfortable writing experience even with minimal writing pressure. The grip features special block-shaped knurling that provides excellent slip resistance without the painful points of traditional diamond knurling.

Despite being so fine, the lead doesn't break as you write, due to the innovative Orenz mechanism. The guide pipe protects the entire length of the lead, and you write without extending the lead out of the guide pipe, which glides right along the surface of the paper. Since it has rounded edges, the guide pipe doesn't catch on the paper or scratch it. As you write, the guide pipe gets shorter. When you need more lead, just click the top button as you would with any other mechanical pencil. The guide pipe will extend again, along with the lead inside.

Because there's no lead breakage, your papers remain clean without smudges from broken lead dust. You can also retract the guide pipe so it doesn't poke you or your belongings when you've stowed the pencil away.

Note: This pencil features a knurled grip section. Older versions of the Pentel Orenz featured a metal grip section engraved with rings instead of knurling.
