Uni Kurutoga Advance Upgrade Model Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm, Metal Barrel (M510301P.43), Black

Reallly nice pencil, it enables a smooth writing experience, and because the lead rotates writing is consistant. The build quality is what you expect with an Uni pencil, it feels well built and will last. The pencil has fast become my goto mechanical pencil, in part because the body is a little wider than most other mechanical pencils and with bigger hands it sits just right. This pencil does not come with many extra leads so be sure to pick up a set of refils. The pentel ain 0.5 B's work brilliantly with this pencil.

Good mech pencil, comfy to use.

This is an excellent mechanical pencil. The design and attention to detail are really nice. It's very well engineered although the feature of turning the lead is very cool it only really works if your writing with it because your constantly lifting the tip off the page and back down again while writing so it rotates a lot more. When drawing with it, especially technical drawing, it does not do it quite as much but still gives you a nice point. This is a lovely pencil though and I am very happy with it. I find the best stationary comes from Japan.

This is a high-quality pencil that's probably good for technical drawings or writing. However, it's too heavy for me to use for art. Additionally, the grip is subpar. The graphite is high quality. I'm not sure what number it is, but it feels like a good quality 2B.

Amazing pencill, very good for maths and drawing! Very impressed. Good quality and functions as described.

Makes writing very enjoyable

I've probably bought a dozen Kura togas over the last fifteen years, half of them as gifts and unashamedly, the rest of them for me. I wanted to jump and get one of the upgraded pencils to test out some of the upgrades so picked up the two different varieties of the advance instead of the prohibitively expensive dive. The advance offers two benefits over the standard kuru toga: a slide, which retracts the lead into the barrel to protect it; and an increased lead rotation rate which is intended to keep your point sharper. On paper, any upgrades to my favourite pencil sound cool, but in practice, the writing experience is a *lot* less intuitive, and I'm constantly finding myself picking it up and multi-clicking just to get the lead back to where I want it to be. Overall feel of the pen, while it looks nice, doesn't feel as premium as the older plastic bodies, with a gunmetal effect. The lack of any knurling like the roulette model, or barrel indentations like the standard, make it feel comparatively a lot less comfortable in the hand.

great quality comfortable to use

Best deal by amazon sg. Shopee / lazada (singapore) are selling at a higher price which is around 1.5 times more than how much amazon sells. Came in original packaging too 👍 The bottom of the pencil is all made from metal and only the top is made of plastic. The weight distribution of the pencil is all close to the tip which makes for a very comfortable writing expetience. Didnt realise how much i love and needed the line consistency from the kuru toga as i tried switching back to my old fure fure corone and immediately hated the big fat line and having to manually turn the pencil to get a sharp thin line only to be back to the fat ugly line in just a few seconds. All these problem are solved here with this pencil and the metal premium feel of the pencil is also what i didnt know i needed too 😂 Writing with a plastic pencil and a metal pencil makes ALOT of difference.

Très bien, sensation d'écriture très agréable, plus douce qu'avec d'autres porte-mine 0.5 Les mines sont un peu compliqué à changer au début mais une fois qu'on a compris comment faire tout est nickel.

I can confidently say this is the best mechanical pencil I’ve ever owned! The Uni Kurutoga Advance Upgrade Model combines sleek design, precision engineering, and exceptional functionality. Its stylish gun metallic body feels premium, perfectly balanced for long use. The Kurutoga engine keeps the lead sharp and lines consistent, a must-have for precision work. Writing is smooth and smudge-free, with excellent durability and a sturdy yet lightweight metal grip. Thoughtful features like the sliding lead sleeve and ergonomic design make it a joy to use. Highly recommend for students, artists, and professionals alike!
