Kaweco Mechanical Pencil Sport mint (0.7 mm)

The Kaweco Sport mechanical pencil in Mint is a compact pocket pencil in the characteristic octagonal plastic body – a design dating back to the 1930s that remains unchanged to this day. At 10.5 cm closed length, it fits neatly into any trouser pocket; when extended, it sits comfortably and securely in the hand. Japanese precision mechanics advance the 0.7 mm lead with a push-button – no sharpening required, no interruption to your writing.

Features

• Octagonal plastic body in Mint: The angular profile prevents the pencil from rolling off the desk – a subtle but noticeably practical detail in daily use. The mint-coloured surface has a fresh, slightly cool tone.
• Japanese precision mechanics: The push-button at the top advances the lead in controlled increments. The lead always extends to the same length – no gradual blunting like a traditional pencil.
• 0.7 mm lead, HB hardness: The medium hardness HB is the most versatile all-rounder – writes soft enough for flowing handwriting, firm enough for clean lines when sketching.
• Wide body protects the lead: The substantial plastic body provides lateral support for the lead during writing and transport – leads break far less frequently than in slimmer designs.
• Compact pocket format: 10.5 cm when closed. The Sport was conceived from the start as a pencil for on-the-go – the proportions are tailored precisely for this purpose.
• Made in Germany: Assembly and production are carried out in Germany.

Use & Tips

• Sketching and drawing: 0.7 mm HB is equally suited for quick sketches, layouts and technical drawings – the line is precise enough for detail work without requiring thin paper.
• Bullet journalling and planners: In calendars, notebooks or planners, graphite lead entries can be erased at any time – practical for tasks, appointments and drafts.
• On the move and in your bag: Thanks to the push mechanism, there's no need to carry a sharpener. The pencil is ready to use immediately, even when no work surface is available.
• Lead refills: The lead is refilled by removing the push-button. Tip: load a maximum of two to three leads to avoid jamming.
• Vary lead hardness: Those who prefer softer lines and darker marks (for example, for sketching) can use standard 0.7 mm leads in 2B or B – the mechanics are independent of lead hardness.
• Clip optional: Kaweco clips (sold separately) can be attached afterwards, turning the Sport into a secure shirt pocket or notebook companion.

For Drawing Enthusiasts and Pencil Lovers

The precision mechanics of the Kaweco Sport mechanical pencil are made in Japan – a country renowned for tightly toleranced push mechanisms with consistent lead advancement. The wide, octagonal body distributes the grip over a larger surface area than slim mechanical pencils, reducing hand fatigue during longer drawing or writing sessions. Those who enjoy experimenting with different graphite hardnesses will find a wide range of third-party leads in the standard 0.7 mm size – from soft 4B for expressive shading to hard 2H for technical precision.
