Uni Kurutoga Advance 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil

A Mechanical pencil that allows you to write beautiful and consistent characters.

With this pencil, the darkness and thickness of the characters remain unchanged even with continuous writing, ensuring that you can consistently produce beautiful and clear writing.

〈Product Features〉
1. With the Advance pencil, you can achieve consistent line width and uniform darkness in your writing. 
Even with extensive use, the characters won't smudge or blur, allowing you to create neat and clear notes. 
It's the perfect pencil for those who write a lot every day.

2. You can write beautiful characters with a consistent darkness level.
The key difference from regular pencils is that with the Advance pencil, you get a uniform line width in your writing.

3. Line Darkness Comparison
With the Advance pencil, you can maintain a consistently bold and dense line right from the start of your writing.

4. Difference in Lead Tips
In regular mechanical pencils, the lead tip often experiences "uneven wear" due to the lead getting worn down unevenly and at an angle while writing. This can lead to an extremely sharp lead tip, causing the line width to gradually become thicker and the pressure on the lead to vary, resulting in blurry and lighter lines.

The Advance pencil, on the other hand, ensures that the lead tip wears down uniformly, maintaining a clean conical shape. This allows it to maintain a consistent, dense, and fine line throughout use, as the part in contact with the paper remains thin.

5. Difference with a 0.3mm Lead Diameter Compared to a Regular Mechanical Pencil
Even with the originally fine 0.3mm lead, you can see a significant difference in the quality of the lines when using the Advance pencil compared to a regular mechanical pencil.

6. Difference with a 0.7mm Lead Diameter Compared to a Regular Mechanical Pencil
With a 0.7mm lead, you can write bold and clear characters with confidence when using the Advance pencil compared to a regular mechanical pencil.

7. A Body Design You'll Want as Your Partner
Advance places a strong emphasis on achieving a high-quality finish in terms of appearance. It creates a sense of luxury through its high-gloss finish and pearl-like accents. Be sure to notice the mark on the engine's rotating part, which is designed to resemble the W-Engine. It conveys the sensation of rapid rotation. The metal clip and knock cover are plated to enhance durability and texture.


<The Secret to Writing Beautiful Characters>
- Part 1: W-Speed Engine
Compared to the Kurutoga Engine, which rotates once every 40 strokes, the Advance's W-Speed Engine rotates once every 20 strokes. It has evolved to rotate faster, finer, and more cleanly than the traditional Kurutoga, rotating 18 degrees per stroke. This effect is particularly significant for characters prone to "uneven wear." For "Kana and English letters," even characters with long strokes that consist of only one stroke can be written with clean, uniform lines. For "soft leads," even when using soft replacement leads like 2B, you can maintain a consistently fine line width.

- Part 2: Metal Parts
To ensure greater stability in the mechanism that rotates the lead, Advance employs meticulously processed metal components.

- Part 3: Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanism
"Whether you want to prolong your focus or write quickly without worrying about pressure, Advance is well-equipped for various writing scenarios such as fast board writing during tests or classes. It prevents lead breakage and allows for clean writing. To prevent lead breakage during writing, it features a slide pipe that allows writing without extending the lead from the tip. The optimized design and processing maintain a natural writing feel. You can continuously write for a long time with just one click. When the slide pipe becomes short, extend the lead for use. * "Lead breakage prevention" is effective only when the lead is not extended from the tip."
