Pure elegance is represented by the Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio mechanical pencil.  Its metal barrel is meticulously crafted with fine fluting over the surface.  The finely fluted barrel made of metal is lacquered in several elaborate working steps. An innovative lacquer ensures a long-lasting matte surface.  The All Black edition has a matte black finish all over the pen - the cap, and barrel. The Tamitio shows how the culture of writing can be enriched with extraordinary nuances. Has a smooth-action twist mechanism to activate the pencil. It uses .7mm lead, and comes with a hardness of B. There's a replaceable eraser, and a reservoir for spare lead.
