Kaweco Sketch Up 5.6mm Clutch Pencils

The Kaweco Sketch Up clutch pencil stands out due to the heaviness of the barrel and large 5.6mm pencil lead. Contrary to a pencil you have to sharpen, the lead is still easy to write with as it gets shorter.

More than that, the pencil leads don’t break as easily, even though they are 5B and quite soft.  Its hexagonal barrel prevents rolling from desks and tabletops. A lead sharpener is built in to the cap, which unscrews easily. Lead is dispensed by simple push button clutch mechanism.
