Platinum ZeroShin MZ-500A pencils have a unique lead mechanism that supports the lead much nearer the tip than most mechanical pencils. There are two advantages from this mechanism: the lead is much less likely to break when the pencil is knocked or dropped; and the lead can be used down to the last millimetre or so, where traditional pencils are unable to use the last 10mm or more.
Plastic upper barrel, a slim and grippy rubber grip area and chrome-plated metal parts. There's a replaceable eraser under the push-button. 0.5mm lead.
Faber-Castell TK-Fine eraser 131596 is a suitable eraser refill.

Relatively unknown in the West, Platinum are a very well respected brand in Japan, especially known for the quality of their fountain pen nibs, and their innovations in mechanical pencils, brush pens and multipens. Their high-end fountain pens have much in common with the closely related brand Nakaya, a legendary brand among fountain pen enthusiasts.
We are the UK's premier importer of Platinum pens, and we work closely with Platinum Japan to offer a high standard of support to all Platinum products we sell.
