Paper Mate’s Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencil is new and improved! The clip has been updated to be more functional and the unique shock-absorbing tip enhances the durability for break-proof technology. The slightly wider barrel has a spiral textured grip, blending hexagonal to rounded in shape for a comfortable feel in your hand. The Sharpwriter still has a smudge resistant Pink Pearl eraser and twist-to-advance mechanism! Everything to love from the original in the new and improved Sharpwriter for a comfortable writing experience.
