This wooden mechanical pencil is one that never needs to be sharpened. This hybrid writing utensil by 'Tous Les Jours' combines the form of an eraser-topped graphite pencil with the precision of a mechanical pencil. To make this design believable, the pencil even has a usable eraser. This pencil combines the best features of both writing instruments into one, making it like a super pencil.
If you've ever found yourself lending out mechanical pencils and never getting them back, this deceptive tool is perfect for deterring pencil-stealing schoolmates.
To make this design even more charming, 'Tous Les Jours' (meaning "daily") has added suggestions on how to sieze each day of the week on the sides of the pencil, managing to promote its brand and provide its users with a smile.
