Description
Kurutoga Advance Upgrade Mechanical Pencils

This Advance Upgrade elevates the Kuru Toga Advance to the next level. The Advance Upgrade includes the “W Speed Engine,” sliding lead sleeve, and metal clip from its predecessor. Instead of the plastic grip section on the Advance, this pencil has a metal one that is matte and textured, which makes it easier to hold. This additional metal component gives the pencil more weight while remaining well-balanced in the hand. Those who appreciate the professional look of the High Grade and the lead rotation mechanism of the Advance will find a happy medium in this pencil.

What does kurutoga mean?

Uni had a lot of fun with coming up with this name! The Kuru Toga is aptly named by taking two words from the Japanese language and merging them together. “Kuru” is an onomatopoeia for something turning or rotating, and “toga” is taken from the verb “togaru”, meaning to taper to a point or become sharp. The name conjures up an image of something constantly spinning to a precise point, which is exactly what the Kuru Toga does.

Kurutoga Technology

What sets the Kuru Toga apart from other mechanical pencils is a mechanism that rotates the lead. With regular mechanical pencils, the lead gets worn down on one side while you’re writing, resulting in a slanted edge. Every time you write, the lines will look different depending on the angle of the pencil. Even though you may start off with clear lines, the point of the lead is gradually worn down until your line widths are thick and smudgy. What’s more, if you pick the pencil back up and start writing with the sharp end (versus the blunt, slanted end), the lead is likely to catch on the paper and may even break.

Kurutoga has solved this problem with its core rotation mechanism. Using three gears, the lead is twisted through a spring-loaded clutch that turns the lead incrementally every time you lift the pencil (i.e. between letters or strokes). This allows the lead to be worn down uniformly, resulting in a consistently pointed tip. Your writing will always remain clean and sharp, and you don’t have to worry as much about lead breakage.

Kurutoga Sliding Sleeve

A sliding lead sleeve protects the lead as you write. As the lead gets shorter, the sleeve retracts into the pencil. You can write continuously without extending the lead, all the way until the sleeve retracts into the pencil’s nose cone. As an added bonus, the pencil tip can also be pushed into the body completely, preventing the sleeve from getting bent or poking holes into your pockets and pen cases.
