Uni Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade is the latest improved version of the fantastic Kuru Toga self-sharpening mechanical pencil.

Uni Kuru Toga Advance mechanical pencil comes back with a brand new sleek look. This Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade Model features a streamlined body design with an updated "W Speed" mechanism, which rotates the lead twice as fast as standard Kuru Toga pencils so that the lead gets sharpened twice as quickly.

The Advance series also features a metal sliding lead sleeve that guards the lead when you write. The sleeve will slide as the lead gets shorter or longer. The sleeve can also be fully retracted when the pencil is not being used.

About Kuru Toga

With standard mechanical pencils, as you write the pencil lead is worn down until it is a slanted surface. Each time you write you will get a different experience depending on how the pencil is rotated. This can cause multiple annoyances.

There's a real problem that affects almost all mechanical pencils. As you use a regular mechanical pencil, the lead wears down on one side, forming a slanted wedge-shaped tip. Each time you put the lead to the page you end up using a different lead surface (pointy, flat, wide, thin) depending on how you hold the pencil. This can cause dramatic and unsightly variations in line thickness as you write or draw.

The Kuru Toga eliminates this problem with the use of an ingenious lead rotation mechanism that continually rotates the pencil lead as you write. A spring-loaded clutch twists the lead incrementally every time you lift the pencil from the paper. This allows a uniform wearing of the lead to create a conical tip shape that provides a fine, consistent line.
