uni Core Keeps Sharp Mechanical Pencil, Gun Metallic (M510171P.43)

This is, hands down, the best mechanical pencil I’ve ever used. The Uni Core Keeps Sharp – Roulette Model feels like a premium writing tool from the moment you pick it up. The all-metal body has a perfect weight and balance to it solid but not heavy making it incredibly comfortable for long writing or sketching sessions.The real star, though, is the “Kuru Toga” mechanism. It actually rotates the lead as you write, so the tip stays sharp and consistent, reducing breakage and keeping your writing neat. I was skeptical at first, but it really works and makes a noticeable difference, especially if you write a lot.The knurled metal grip adds a professional touch and gives you full control without slipping. It’s become my go-to pencil for both work and drawing, and I’ve already recommended it to several friends.If you're someone who values build quality, performance, and thoughtful design in your writing tools, this mechanical pencil is 100% worth it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:At last I found a mechanical pencil that does not constantly break off big pieces of expensive graphite 0.5mm leads! This one is real smooth! I used leads of softness 4B, which are easy to break, but this pencil handles them just fine. I had used Pentel, Orenz, and other brands of pencil over the years, but so far, this one appears to be the best. The pricing is a bit strange, of course, since a two-pack of these is more than double the price of single items, but aside from that, this was a great purchase.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Kuru Toga family of pencils use the Kuru Toga Engine, where each press of the lead twists the barrel to keep your lines uniform. My writing style is a little bit of cursive mixed in with regular strokes. I love this pencil and I use it every day. Very nice and smooth action and you don't even notice the barrel twisting after a while. I can write relatively quickly and this doesn't hinder my speed or my handwriting. Its got a little heft to it towards the front, which I like since I was changing from an old Graphgear 500. I have been using the Kuru Toga family of pencils as my backup for a while, but I think this is now my primary pencil.

This pen is rather well made with a wonderful metal grip and great design. However it is not fully metal as the tube of the pencil is a beautiful plastic case that compliments well with the metal. It's a little light and seems effective for the cost but...was not for me.

Really cool and sturdy mechanical pencil. Most of the body is made out of metal but the parts that aren't still don't feel cheap. My only negative is that if you don't have a heavy hand the barrel won't spin when you write with it, and because I mainly use it for sketching and drawing the feature doesn't really work for it. For the average user though it's still pretty great.

I like the feel, quality, and solid (heavy) quality and functionality of this pencil. The weight makes for a unique flow not found elsewhere. It is fun to have the rotating lead feature, and makes the writing experience that much better. Great for drafting or math students and professionals.. If you let someone borrow it, make sure you don't let them keep it for too long - you might not ever see it again. Great mechanical pencil!
