The Retro Tornado Big Shot Stout is one very cool, sleek mechanical pencil.  The black soft, velvety look will make you stand out, whether you're in a university classroom or an office meeting.  It has that black, stealth-like appearance, if you're trying to go unnoticed.  This pencil comes in its own black velvet pouch and stores in a very Retro blue canister.  Also inside you will find refillable lead and refills on the erasers. Just turn the top and your lead will appear, ready for any task.  The photo you see here is of a pen, not the sleek pencil.  A pencil photo is unavailable.  The pencil has the same appearance but topped with an eraser.  Enjoy!
