The Kuru Toga Pencil

I’ve always been a bit into drawing, and I love writing…as in, the physical kind. I like the stuff associated with it as well, like Moleskine Notebooks and drafting supplies and such.
So this pencil has me all excited. The freakin thing rotates the lead as you write, so you always have a precise, sharpened point.
The Kuru Toga has a core rotation mechanism that continually rotates the pencil lead as you write. This allows a uniform wearing of the pencil lead so that it always remains as a pointed tip. Not only does it solve the above problems, but it also gives you an amazingly thin line. You are effectively using only 50% of the lead area that you were previously using with your old mechanical pencil. Thus, a 0.3 mm Kuru Toga will write incredibly thin lines and have less breakage than a standard 0.3 mm mechanical pencil.
