{"title":"Uni Kuru Toga","description":"\u003cp\u003eUni's fabulous Kuru Toga solves a problem that afflicts all those that take their mechanical pencils very seriously. The angle of writing creates a chisel edge to the lead, which affects actual line width and tends to crumble off. The Kuru Toga engine rotates the lead every time the lead touches the paper, leading to even lead wear and creating a constant sharp point. Kuru Toga has been a sensation all over the world, and is one of our favourite products because it's genuinely innovative and it really works!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Advance' models rotate the lead twice as much each time, keeping that point even better, especially with non-Japanese and Chinese text, where letters use longer stokes. The KS version rotates extra smoothly, with less tip movement.
