My personal favourite is Uni's Kurutoga (クルトガ) mechanical pencil that automatically turns the pencil lead a fraction every time you lift it. This means that the tip is always neatly rounded and never slanted.

Sounds silly? It won me over on first sight.
- hkmurakami 6y agoI recently saw a short TV documentary about the Kurutoga and industry competitors' R&D staff were being interviewed, remarking that that innovation truly sent shockwaves through the entire industry.

- vr46 6y agoI love this pencil so much that I have three, with different lead in each. It’s completely brilliant. And a bargain, or it was. I really like the venerable Pentel P200 series but I only use the 0.7 and 0.9 because there’s no Kurutoga.
- Freak_NL 6y agoSame here! I have a Pentel P209 right in front of me. Not sure where my P207 has gone of to. The 5mm Kurutoga is my main pencil of course. I have a nice aluminium one ever since my first plastic body one cracked (after many years of use). One really nice benefit of the Kurutoga (5mm) is that your writing is really neat and fine as if written with a 3 or 4mm pencil.
