At first glance, the Graphis is a simple mechanical pencil. It’s a nice, compact size for EDC under 5″ and with a 1/2″ diameter, has a removable clip, and is machined out of one of five materials including carbon fiber and titanium. Its hidden ability, however, is its lead-swapping mechanism. When the top of the pencil is pushed the internal clutch system releases the lead, making it fast and easy to change writing tips. In addition to a number of choices for lead color and weight, the Graphis also includes an ink adapter which takes common D1 refills available from many bookstores and brands, and a stylus insert for your touchscreen device. MC Fabrications out of North Aurora, IL are presenting the Graphis as their third Kickstarter project, and backers have plenty of options for body material and add-ons.
