The Kuru Toga solves this with a spring-loaded rotation mechanism that incrementally twists the lead every time you lift the pencil from the page, wearing it down evenly into a consistent conical tip. The Advance Upgrade is the most refined expression of this system, fitted with the W Speed Engine that rotates the lead twice as fast as the standard Kuru Toga — once every 20 strokes rather than 40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGunmetal is the most understated and quietly authoritative colour in the Advance Upgrade range — a dark, cool grey with a metallic depth that suits a desk that takes its tools seriously. The precision-punched metal grip provides a stable, non-slip hold without rubber padding, and the sliding lead sleeve advances automatically as the lead shortens before retracting fully for safe carry. The overall effect is a pencil that looks as considered as it performs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eW Speed Engine — rotates lead every 20 strokes for twice the rotation speed of standard Kuru Toga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLead rotation keeps tip consistently conical for even, uniform line width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrecision-punched metal grip section with integrated finger placement guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSliding lead sleeve advances automatically and retracts fully for carry safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBreak-resistant lead feeding mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGunmetal body with metallic-look rear barrel and metal clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop-button click advance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePre-loaded with one HB 0.5 mm lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e0.5 mm lead diameter | Length: 155 mm | Weight: 16 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAlso available in White, Red, and Navy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Mitsubishi Uni items\" href=\"https:\/\/shopnoteworthy.ca\/collections\/mitsubishi\"\u003eSee all Mitsubishi - uni items\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SD-BUNGU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43274962403395,"sku":"MI-KURUAU-GM","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/4338\/files\/Uni_Kurutoga_Advance_Upgrade_Gunmetal_MP_1.jpg?v=1778894977","url":"https:\/\/shopnoteworthy.com\/products\/mitsubishi-uni-kuru-toga-advance-upgrade-mechanical-pencil-gunmetal-0-5-mm","provider":"Noteworthy Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
