The newest Kuru Toga Alpha Gel Switch model features a switch function between “Kuru Toga Mode” and “Normal Mode”.
“Kuru Toga Mode”: with the "Lead Rotation" mechanism inside, the pencil is able to sharpen the lead by continually rotating the lead every time you lift the tip from the paper. So the lead will be kept in a conical tip shape that provides a smooth writing or drawing and consistent lines on your paper.
“Normal Model”: If you want to write a lot quicker or need the pencil for drawing, the “Normal Model” is suitable for you.
The pencil also features a newly developed “Alpha Gel Grip” which has a three-layer structure that gives it a soft and fluffy feel. It allows you to write comfortably even after long hours of use and softly absorbs finger pressure.
