The KOH-I-NOOR Versatil 5608 Mechanical Pencil is a compact, all-metal 2.0 mm automatic clutch pencil specifically designed for use with notebooks, planners, and for everyday use. The shaft is matt black, with a ribbed grip to ensure a secure hold.
The pencil features a pocket-friendly length of 115 mm (11.5 cm) and a slim 7 mm diameter, designed to slide easily into standard notebook spine wires or pen loops. This pencil feels surprisingly substantial in the hand due to its robust metal build and weighted knurled grip section.
The KOH-I-NOOR Versatil 5608 Mechanical Pencil utilises an incremental ratchet mechanism that extends approximately 1 mm of lead with each click. The metal push-button at the top unscrews completely to reveal an integrated internal sharpener for keeping the thick 2.0 mm lead fine and precise.
The pencil is refillable: because of the internal ratchet mechanism, new leads are inserted by holding down the top push-button and carefully feeding a single new lead directly through the front nose cone rather than dropping it through the top. With its stylish removeable metal clip, this mechanical pencil is a great addition to any desk.
