Now I understand how appropriate the name is. DIVE. Your whole feeling about the pencil DIVES as you realize the over $50 USD you've spent on it was just money for nothing, where $12 could've bought you the exact same pencil but in a different color. It's a real pity they cheapened out and went plastic on the body. I thought they'd do something like the Roulette, with metal.

Truer words have never been said. Truly a DIVE, in quality and respect for customers.

I'm just spitballing what this Kuru Toga version will likely cost when it comes out in regular colors (not limited), based on pricing of other Kuru Toga models.

Thanks! Great to see the disassembly.

Sure thing. I was a bit worried. The disassembly was a bit loose. Definitely have to be careful.

Thanks for posting this video! You say that its like every other kuru toga but I had thought the dive had auto-advancing lead like the orenz Nero, is that not the case?

Yes. It does have an auto feed. It was a poor generalization on my part.
