Never thought I would be so impressed by pencil tech

[@Squid-Killer]

I absolutely adore Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencils! the line work you get with these are some of the smoothest ever i have a red, blue and green one which i use for animation work and they are my ol' relliables when it comes to that

I also love the Pental graphgear series

[@nazc0]

Oh thank god they made the eraser normal size. The other kuritoga metal ones i have use the thin little black erasers. Not really good for the amount of mistakes i make😅

[@Aereto]

Can be complemented with a multi shape plastic eraser

[@jamesharris5156]

If you’re using a high end pencil, it’s assumed you’ll also have a detached high quality eraser. Those tiny erasers are meant more as just a means to cap the lead chamber.

[@Cheffamily]

small erasers are useful for when you get one line of kanji wrong

[@jamesharris5156]

@@Cheffamily Yeah they’re great for small writing corrections. Not so much for like art or technical drawing with lots of erasing.

[@rona0427]

Finally someone says what these are actually built for. I always see the same “I like my pencils unevenly sharp it makes it look much better,” cool, they’re extremely useful for kanji. Especially when writing small, the self sharpening makes kanji legible and works best in this condition

[@peppersteak9733]

my only gripe with the kuru toga is the lead/lead holder slightly shakes when im about to draw/write down, as an architecture student its a lil bit off for me since it kind of mess up my sense whether my pencil is actually touching my paper but its good for writing! if someone's out there thats looking for a mechanical pencil for drawing, look elsewhere, I've heard that the graph gear series is also good, but i use my rotring tikky for now since it came along with their technical pen set

[@martin8313]

How do you deal with the line thickness varying? When I was learning to become a carpenter we’d have to do lots and lots of technical drawings / drafts and I’d have to hold my pencil awkwardly to have my 0,5mm lines actually be 0,5mm and not 0,7mm. I remember in one of my first drafts I was refused a full score because of the lines varying ±0,15mm and graphite marks from my sweaty fingers lol My sister is an architect and she told me that they did lots of drafts on paper in the first year and then mostly moved onto digital. Btw I really resonate with your tactile engagement with the pencil. My favourite mechanical pencil is the tombow zoom 707. It has a natural rubber handlegrip that feels unlike any other rubber grip and a purist/minimal design that offers such incredible tactility. Oh and the very tip or sleeve of the lead is so incredibly thin that you can use rulers etc. with very high accuracy more easily and satisfyingly.

[@peppersteak9733]

@@martin8313 sorry i didn't clarified this immediately, but for the line variations, i had to use traditional pencils, and to get the actual thickness i have to sharpen them often (im nit-picky about it) i only use the kuru toga for sketches, but my rotring tikky, i use them to draw my guidelines in my drafts, i keep them whenever my prof ordered us to, but i don't really get remarks about it, so for drafts that require precise line variations, i suggest sticking to the normal pencils, although its annoying to switch between the graphite grades and sharpen them, it feels awesome to use one lol! the downside is just, u have to sharpen them from time to time.

Definitely, my next Kuru Toga 😉❤❤❤

It looks great but the non rectractable tip is the deal breaker for me. If it fall down tip first, it will break easily

[@aSliceOfChoccyMilk]

I love stationary too much I know that once I arrive in Japan I'm spending far too much on pencils, pens, and paper

[@Laminar-Flow]

They ate with this, but idk how hard it is to come out with a Japanese-made rotring 600 knockoff that uses the kuru toga mechanism. I’d pay $200 for that as an engineering student. There’s something about this one that tells me I probably won’t have it for more than a year

[@harisjaved1379]

Is this better than dive? I think the dive is superior

[@MitchNorris]

Love it! But is 0.5mm the biggest?

[@Alex_Iope]

That's a very nice pencil, I wish I knew how to write.

[@shindigfreak5277]

never too late to learn

I just don't get why they can't make the dampener matte black like the platinum pro 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Trusty335is]

Is there an extra fine or fine point pen similar quality to this?

[@correctinstincts6969]

Is it okay to retract the lead on this pencil once you’re done writing?

[@Twizzy0218]

Does the lead pipe retract

[@matijabatrac2766]

I'm having a hard time trying to find uni stationery here in Europe (Croatia to be exact). A lot of webshops do not sell them and the ones I've found have massive shipping fees. If anyone could recommend a site, I'd be very thankful!

[@nhan_nguyen03]

aliexpress is an option but makes sure you check the import tax for those expensive like kuru toga dive. Also it us harder to return the good so make sure to check the vendor carefully

Amazing 🤩
