This mechanical pencil has been designed by LAMY for the Safari range. The barrel of the pencil has been made from durable ABS plastic, with a moulded ergonomic grip and has a shiny white finish. Developed in collaboration with ergonomists, this pencil has been designed to deliver a pleasant and non-fatiguing writing experience. This makes it ideal for use at school, university or work. Also included is a built-in eraser under the plastic push-mechanism cap, and the eraser can be removed to reveal a built-in cleaning needle. Refilling the lead is easy – simply remove the push-cap and the eraser/cleaning needle and insert new pencil leads, then replace the eraser/cleaning needle and cap. The pencil takes LAMY M 41 (0.5mm) lead, and the replacement eraser/cleaning needle is LAMY Z 18. This pencil is under a two-year warranty.
