KOH-I-NOOR 5340 Versatil - Set of 2 metal mechanical clutch leadholder with lead sharpener, lead diameter 5.6 mm - gold+silver

Clutch pencils are great for all manner of art, and I especially like these chunkier kind which can hold a range of leads, from standard graphite to charcoal, chalk, coloured leads and even the Koh i noor magic lead which writes in several colours at once and is great for sketching. This is a solid metal bodied pencil with a dusky pink matte finish. It is quite heavy, and measures 14cm approx in length. It does not have a lead sharpener (some do, some don't, depending on the model). I have other clutch pencils from this brand and this is one of the best, highly recommended.(7/2/15) Editing this to add that it does indeed have a lead sharpener, sorry for any confusion.

Feels good in the hand, lots of control, easy to use and a broad line. Also seems like it’ll last a long time. I’m 100% happy!

Really excellent and robust. I use it for woodwork.

Great for loose sketching! Thick lead holder - quite chunky.
