The Kaweco Special mechanical pencil, with 0.9mm leads, in black, is one of the thickness variations in this line of aluminum technical writing instruments. The Kaweco Special line consists of technical writing instruments with a solid aluminum body and matte anodized finish, assembled and inspected by hand in Nuremberg, a German city with a strong tradition in the production of pencils and drawing materials. It maintains the brand's characteristic octagonal design, now in metal, giving it a weight and robustness far superior to that of the plastic versions in the Sport line. With 0.9mm leads, thicker than the 0.5mm and 0.7mm versions, for a line more resistant to breakage under intensive use. It is a preferred option for those who write with stronger pressure and prefer a less fragile lead.
