With a jumbo triangular shape for good grip, this clutch pencil or leadholder (due to the hefty 5.6mm lead within it) is a solid writing and sketching tool, with excellent counterbalance due to its weight and size. Simply push the button to release lead through the clutch mechanism.
Founded in 1790 in the now Czech Republic, Koh-I-Noor is one of the world's oldest stationery companies. In 1802 they patented one of the first pencil leads, made from kaolin and graphite. This family company was named for the infamous Koh-I-Noor diamond, the largest in the world. Today, they are still a proudly family-owned Czech business, internationally renowned for their wide range of quality writing tools, art materials, and accessories.
Koh-I-Noor’s Versatil range of mechanical pencils was first developed in 1946 - as an all-metal model - and are still available today. Koh-I-Noor is now the only producer of mechanical pencils with a thicker lead than 5.6mm.
