Pentel produced the world’s first retractable pencil in 1960 and has been taking full advantage of their technologies to develop the ultimate mechanical pencil. Pentel now have the ORENZ Nero, a mechanical pencil that comes with not only the Orenz function, but a technological breakthrough of an “auto-lead-forwarding” system.

The dodecagon body and matte black finish is elegant and timeless. It has a low centre of gravity for stable writing and boasts 1-click, non-stop writing.

The anti-breaking lead support system protects the lead, so you can enjoy writing longer. The proprietary auto-lead-forwarding mechanism allows you to enjoy comfortable and continuous writing without advancing the lead. Instead of the sleeve retracting, it’s the lead forwarding that makes it possible.

Winner of the 2017 Good Design Award in Japan. This is one of our favourite pencils to show customers when they come by the shop due to its highly technological features.
