About the Pentel GraphGear 1000 Anniversary Edition – Black

The Pentel GraphGear 1000 is the undisputed king of everyday carry (EDC) mechanical pencils. Known for its indestructible full-metal build and ingenious retracting tip, it is the tool you trust on a construction site or in a premium sketchbook. Now, to celebrate Pentel's legacy, this rugged heavyweight has been given the ultimate tactical upgrade with the Limited 60th Anniversary Edition (PG1015-ANA).

The defining feature of the GraphGear 1000 is its Dual-Action Retractor. With a firm click of the top cap, the 4mm drafting sleeve locks into place, offering unobstructed visibility for precision ruler work. When you are done, simply pressing the spring-loaded pocket clip snaps the fragile tip back safely inside the metal barrel. This protects your pockets from getting snagged and guarantees the precision sleeve will never bend or snap if the pencil is dropped.

What Makes the Anniversary Edition Special?

• The Stealth Black Barrel: The standard GraphGear 1000 is famous for its raw silver aluminum body and brightly colored rubber accents. This exclusive Anniversary release blacks out the heavy metal barrel, retractable tip, and grip, creating a premium, striking contrast against the signature polished silver dual-action clip and cap.
• The Hybrid Pip Grip: Pentel’s signature grip design features micro-knurled metal inlaid with soft, oval rubber pips. On this edition, both the knurling and the rubber are completely blacked out, providing a secure, comfortable hold with a cohesive tactical aesthetic.
• The Heavyweight Balance: At 21 grams, it is significantly heavier than its polymer counterparts. This full-metal mass anchors the tip to the page, providing aggressive, smooth lines without requiring extra downward pressure from your hand.

Whether you are carrying it in a heavy-duty tool belt or a tailored suit, the Pentel GraphGear 1000 Anniversary Edition offers indestructible utility combined with rare, limited-edition prestige. It is the ultimate heavy-duty classic, upgraded for the modern collector.
