This upgraded MONO Graph mechanical pencil has a few tricks up its sleeve a shake-to-advance mechanism, a twist-to-extend eraser mechanism, and a mode switch hidden in the clip. (Push the clip into hold mode to disable automatic lead advance and fix the lead sleeve more firmly in one place.)

Loaded with Tombow 0.5 mm HB lead, the MONO Graph is ready to write (and erase).

ABOUT TOMBOW

Established as a tiny Tokyo shop in 1913, Tombow is one of the world’s pioneers in pencils and art supplies. Originally called Harunosuke Ogawa Pencil, the company began manufacturing pencils in 1914 and gradually became the multifaceted brand we know today. Tombow MONO pencils were introduced in the 1960s, along with their now-iconic MONO erasers, and today the MONO family includes hundreds of writing and drawing tools.
