About the Pentel Graph 1000 Mechanical Drafting Pencil – Black

If you walk into a top-tier architecture firm in Tokyo, this is the pencil you will see on the desks. The Pentel Graph 1000 For Pro is not designed to look "cool"; it is designed to disappear in your hand. Released in 1986, it quickly became the "Gold Standard" of drafting pencils.

The defining feature of this model is its "Marathon" Ergonomics. While other pencils use heavy knurled metal that can strain fingers over time, the Graph 1000 combines a featherweight body with a heavy brass clutch mechanism. This concentrates the mass at the tip for precision, while keeping the overall weight low enough to eliminate hand fatigue during all-nighters.

Professional-Grade Details:

• The Hybrid Grip: Pentel does not just glue rubber onto metal; they integrate 18 individual rubber ribs that protrude through the metal casing. This gives you the rigidity of a metal grip with the soft, non-slip texture of rubber.
• The Stability: The internal brass clutch is heavy and robust, anchoring the lead firmly to prevent any backward movement or "mushiness" when pressing down hard.
• The Visibility: The 4mm fixed lead sleeve offers an unobstructed view of the page, making it the perfect companion for straightedges and templates.

Whether you are drafting a blueprint or sketching a concept, the Pentel Graph 1000 offers a level of reliability that few tools ever achieve. It is the tool that built the modern world.
