Pentel 5 Mechanical Pencil – Special Edition Black Gold – 0.5mm

Special Edition Black Gold Pentel 5 mechanical pencil. This is a Pentel Kerry made in the style of its predecessor, the Pentel 5, with the original Pentel 5 logo.

Kerry was first introduced in 1971 and named CIL (Kerry).The term implies fountain pen, and thats what Pentel had in mind. Around the same period, Pilot had come up with many pocket-sized fountain pens such as Vanishing Point and the Elite series. And just like the Elite series, Kerry features small body with a long cap. When the pencil is capped, the cap extends the small body to regular size, and the tip of the cap becomes the push button for the mechanical pencil. The body is thicker than a normal pencil especially the center of the body. Overall it is well-balanced with a classic look.

This special editionmechanical pencil comes in black with gold trim. The caps have metallic finishes while the barrels are ever so slightly darker and subtly pearlescent, lending a balanced finish to the mechanical pencil.
