It features an octagonal shaft that is constructed from aluminum and within this is a special alloy core. This contains graphite, which is the same that is used in all pencils -- as it drags along the paper, it leads particles of eh graphite and alloy behind. However, this pencil uses metal for the core so that it is able to wear down at a slow pace for an everlasting purpose. Additionally, the pencil markings are able to be erased in the same way as the markings of any other pencil using a regular eraser.
