The original Metacil metal pencil is now available with an outer case made from recycled material containing about 40% waste. Crafted from upcycled plastics, these items are produced by crushing and recycling a variety of waste materials collected in Japan, this variant is made from crushed cinderblocks and includes a protective lid to protect the nib.
What is a metal pencil?
It is a writing instrument whose core is made of a special alloy containing graphite, and graphite and alloy particles generated by friction with paper will adhere to the paper during writing. The wick wears noticeably less, so you can continue to write for a long time without scraping. upto 16km!
The core is made of alloy material, but it can be erased with a general eraser like a normal pencil.
Since it does not bleed with water or water-based markers, it is also ideal for drafting watercolours and illustrations.

The Metacil is a remarkable innovation in the world of writing instruments, a pencil crafted entirely from metal, designed by the Japanese stationery company Sun-Star. The Metacil's unique composition allows it to write a continuous line approximately 16km in length without the need for sharpening, making it a durable choice for extensive writing tasks. For those who write frequently, the Metacil could be a game-changer, offering the traditional pencil experience with a modern, long-lasting twist.
