Photographs of every order are taken before international handover to ensure accuracy. ### What is the lead size and hardness of this Kitaboshi pencil?

The included lead is a #1 B hardness, which is a soft, dark graphite suitable for writing, sketching, and drawing, offering good smoothness and line density. ### Is this pencil suitable for detailed technical drawing? While excellent for sketching and general writing, the 2.0mm lead is thicker than standard technical drawing leads (like 0.5mm or 0.7mm). For highly detailed technical drawings requiring very fine lines, a pencil with a finer lead might be more appropriate. This pencil excels in providing a bolder, more tactile line. ### How long does the included lead last? The longevity of the lead depends on usage intensity and writing pressure. However, the 2mm lead is substantial and designed for durability. Refill leads are available in packs of 5, ensuring you have a continuous supply for extended periods of writing or sketching. ### Can I buy refill leads for this pencil in India?
