A compact and economical mechanical pencil with a 2 mm lead. Comes in a size that fits easily in your shirt or jacket pocket. While most compact mechanical pencils are equipped with rather thin leads (.5 mm or .7 mm), this one is for those who prefer writing with more lead.

Drop action pencils, propelling pencils and rectable pencils have two things in store the wooden pencil cannot provide:

1.) They are available in a variety of mine formats, which in turn are catering to a variety of purposes - from technical drawing to large-format sketching and signing, and 2.) they are sustainable because they are refillable.

The history of the renowned pencil manufacturer Koh-i-Noor dates back to the 18th century. Throughout the world, Koh-i-Noor became known through the innovative invention of Joseph Hardtmuth, who in 1792 developed a novel method for pressing and baking pencil leads - mines did not have to be cut from the solid stone any longer. This innovative ability has been preserved at Koh-i-Noor to this day.
