Hold on to your notebooks, because the legendary KURUTOGA series just got a major glow-up—and it smells like real wood! Mitsubishi Pencil is leveling up your pencil game with the KURUTOGA Wood, launching on March 21, 2025. This isn’t your average mechanical pencil. It’s the first-ever KURUTOGA with a wooden grip, blended with a sleek metal body. Yup, it's brainy and beautiful. 🌟
🌳 A Grip Made from Real Wood?! Yes, Please!
For the first time ever, the KURUTOGA gets a natural makeover. The grip is made from Wenge wood—a rich, dark hardwood known for its beautiful grain and classy vibes. Each pencil is a little different because no two wood pieces are the same. That means your pencil will be totally unique. How cool is that? 🪵✨
The grip is also slightly thicker near the tip, making it super comfy to hold, especially during long study sessions or journaling marathons. Plus, it’s less slippery than plastic or metal—so your fingers won’t slide around while you're deep in thought. 🤓✒️
⚙️ Metal + Wood = Pencil Perfection
The back half of the pencil is made of the same sleek aluminum found in the popular KURUTOGA Metal. This combo of warm wood and cool metal isn’t just a style statement—it creates a balance that feels great in your hand and only gets better with time. Think of it like the pencil version of your favorite jeans: the more you use it, the more you’ll love it. 👖🖊️
Color options? Oh yes, you get to choose:
-
🌲 Forest Green – Like a walk through the woods.
-
⚙️ Steel Gray – For that industrial-cool look.
🚀 Smooth Writing, Every Time
Don’t let the good looks fool you—this pencil is built to perform. Just like in the KURUTOGA Metal, it includes the famous "KURUTOGA Engine" to keep your lead sharp and writing crisp.
But wait, there’s more! The KURUTOGA Wood features a “Nib Damper”, a small part near the tip that helps absorb pressure while you write. That means less wobble, more control, and a much smoother writing feel—like your ideas are gliding onto the page. 🖋️💨
