Perfect for professionals who demand precision and style in their everyday writing tools. ## Description Koh-I-Noor Rapidomatic Mechanical Pencil, .5mm lead, White, the classic mechanical pencil, is back by popular demand! Superior quality features comfortable knurled grip area and push-button lead advance. Sturdy construction includes metal pocket clip and lead degree indicator. Comes pre-loaded with lead and eraser. Review: I lost one I've been using for 20 years, so glad to see they're still made and almost exactly the same. The knurling on the finger grip part seems a bit finer than the old one, but still feels good. Too bad mine was missing the "needle" inserted into the eraser which is useful for clearing broken leads out of the tip. Not sure if that is an "improvement" or mine was just incomplete. Review: This is a re-issue of a classic mechanical pencil from ca. 1984. It's a solid pencil with good balance and no noticeable lead wobble. It says "JAPAN" on the clip. The body of the pencil is plastic, though the grip and various other parts are metal. The external design has roots in other Koh-I-Noor pencil lines and can currently still be seen in the almost-identical Rotring 500, the metal-bodied Rotring 600, etc., and now also in the Chinese Rotring knock-off called the Redcircle 600. (I haven't tried the Rotrings, which are reportedly good pencils, but the Redcircle is, in my experience, an inferior product with noticeable lead wobble. It's also too heavy for my taste.) The Koh-I-Noor brand originates from a company that had split into at least two parts by the time of the pencil's introduction, and whose parts have since changed hands over time. This pencil is apparently a product of Koh-I-Noor North America (or USA), which split off from the Czech company of the same name around the time of WWII, and was long affiliated with Rotring but is currently separately held by Chartpak in the US. The similarity in Rotring's pencil designs is presumably due to the fact that the right to use the Koh-I-Noor design was acquired by Rotring along with their acquisition of the/a non-Czech-held part of Koh-I-Noor in or about 1985. Rotring was later acquired by Sanford, which was itself acquired by Newell, and then Koh-I-Noor North America was sold off. The "about" section of the Koh-I-Noor North America website says that the company has now "partnered once again with Koh-I-Noor Europe", which is presumably some sort of reciprocal licensing agreement. (As for the Redcircle copy of the Rotring design, that's clearly just trademark infringement.) ## Features - The classic Rapidomatic mechanical pencil is back by popular demand! - Superior quality features comfortable knurled grip area and push-button lead advance - Sturdy construction includes metal pocket clip and lead degree indicator - Comes pre-loaded with lead and eraser - For best performance, use Koh-I-Noor #39505506 2B, #39505508 HB, or #39505510 H .5mm replacement lead refills and # replacement eraser ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0979H9454 | | Additional Features | Pocket Clip | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #109,350 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #882 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Koh-I-Noor | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (329) | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00014173427922 | | Grip Type | Knurled | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | H | | Included Components | Household | | Ink Color | White | | Item Diameter | 0.5 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 14 x 0.6 x 0.6 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.03 Pounds | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Chartpak, Inc. | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Rapidomatic | | Model Number | 5635 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home | | Style | Pencil | | UPC | 014173427922 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Koh-I-Noor - **Colour:** White - **Ink colour:** White - **Writing instrument form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Koh-I-Noor RAPIDOMATIC M-PNCL .5MM WHT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uGVeIyX4L.jpg) ![Koh-I-Noor RAPIDOMATIC M-PNCL .5MM WHT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I+uS34unL.jpg) ![Koh-I-Noor RAPIDOMATIC M-PNCL .5MM WHT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-TgPkLlgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***T on 1 October 2025* I lost one I've been using for 20 years, so glad to see they're still made and almost exactly the same.
