Precise mechanics and a good writing feel from Japan: This pocket-sized mechanical pencil is based on professional drawing pencils and is made of aluminum and then powder-coated - hence its lightness and durable surface. The finely knurled grip area ensures a firm hold when writing and drawing, while the spring steel clip makes it easy to carry in your pocket. There is an eraser inside the pusher. 100% of the PDW mechanical pencil is made in Japan.
