This Kuru Toga Advance features an updated "W Speed" mechanism, which rotates the lead twice as fast as standard Kuru Toga pencils so that the lead gets sharpened twice as quickly.
Standard Kuru Toga pencils rotate the lead once every 40 strokes, while the Kuru Toga Advance rotates the lead once every 20 strokes.
The Kurotoga patented lead mechanism continously rotates the pencil as you write, with a spring-loaded clutch that twists everytime you lift the pencil from the paper. This allows the pencil lead to wear down uniformly, creating a sharp writing experieince.
Please note that the Kuru Toga mechanism’s functionality is influenced by an individual’s writing style, and as such, it does not guarantee a perfectly sharp tip 100% of the time. The more frequently you lift the pencil while writing, the more rotation it will have.
