Frequently Asked Questions

How do I switch between Kuru Toga and Hold modes?

Turn the pocket clip toward the side to activate Kuru Toga rotating mode. Align the clip with the indicator window to lock it into Hold mode for a fixed, stable lead feel.

What does Kuru Toga mode do?

In Kuru Toga mode, an internal gear rotates the lead core slightly every time you lift the pencil from paper, keeping the 0.3mm point uniformly conical and sharp.

What is Hold mode best for?

Hold mode keeps the lead stationary, providing a solid and traditional tactile response ideal for rapid cursive note-taking or bold sketching.

What type of lead refills should I use?

Use any standard 0.3mm mechanical pencil lead refills, such as Uni Smudge-Proof or Uni NanoDia 0.3mm leads in HB, B, or 2B.

Is the grip durable for everyday carry?

Yes, the Alpha Gel grip is engineered from specialized multi-layer silicone that retains its softness and elasticity without tearing or degrading over time.
