Draw and sketch with a thick lead whose projection and point shape you adjust yourself. The silver KOH-i-NOOR 5359 has a round metal barrel for 5.6 mm leads. A clip keeps it with your sketchbook or in your pencil case, while the sharpener is built into the rear push-button.
Design and features
- 1 silver metal clutch holder, model 5359/15.

- Clip and removable sharpener in the push-button.
Choose a suitable refill
Choose a refill by both diameter and suitable length, then select the drawing material for your task. This holder uses a clutch mechanism rather than the fine leads of a 0.5 or 0.7 mm mechanical pencil. A 120 mm lead does not automatically fit every 5.6 mm holder.
How to use the holder
Point the tip down at an angle and press the rear button to open the clutch. Let a short section of lead emerge, then release the button to secure it. Unscrew the sharpener from the button to shape the point. A fine point suits lines; a wider point helps with shading.
Storage and care
Work with light pressure and avoid extending too much lead, which increases the chance of breakage. Remove shavings before replacing the sharpener. Choose replacement leads with the correct diameter and length.
