Leuchtturm1917 Twist Grip No. 2 Mechanical Pencil Black
Leuchtturm1917?Drehgriffel?Nr.?2 Mechanical Pencil – Black
Elevate your writing and sketching experience with the Drehgriffel?Nr.?2 from Leuchtturm1917 — a mechanical pencil that merges refined aesthetics, precision engineering, and everyday utility into one elegant instrument.
Premium Build & Materials
This mechanical pencil features a body crafted from precision?milled aluminium, giving it both a refined finish and a reassuring tactile weight. The front tip and the twist head mechanism are made from polished steel, creating a visual contrast and delivering a premium feel.
The body surface is sand?blasted and lacquered in a rich matte black finish, adorned with subtle gloss?black logo printing for a sleek, understated look.
The pencil measures approximately 13?cm in length — compact enough for portability, yet long enough for a comfortable writing grip.
Smart Mechanics & Writing Performance
At its heart lies a sophisticated twist mechanism: you simply twist the head to extend the lead, and when you release, the chuck closes to hold the lead firmly in place.
The pencil takes 0.7?mm HB graphite refills, delivering a line width that strikes a versatile balance between writing, sketching, and note?taking.
Inside the barrel is a reservoir that can hold multiple refill leads (up to eight, in some listings) so that as one lead is used up the next is ready.
Design Heritage & Style
The “Drehgriffel” name itself (“dreh” meaning “twist/turn”; “griffel” meaning “stylus/pencil” in German) points back to writing traditions of the 1920s, and Leuchtturm1917 honours that legacy with a design that feels timeless yet modern.
This black variant blends minimalist industrial design with premium finishes—no clip adorns the body, giving the pencil a clean silhouette and allowing it to slide easily into notebook loops or pouches. (Some users appreciate this clip?free look especially.)
Ideal For
-
Writers, planners, and journalers who want something a step up from standard mechanical pencils
-
Sketching or drafting when you need a solid line with 0.7?mm HB lead
-
Matching with Leuchtturm1917 notebooks (since the aesthetic syncs well with the brand’s stationery range)
-
Gift?giving: thanks to its metal body, thoughtful design and premium feel, it makes a refined present for creatives, professionals or stationery lovers
Things to Note
-
The lead size is fixed at 0.7?mm in this model; if you prefer 0.5?mm you’ll need to check variants or compatible internals.
-
The mechanism does not use a traditional “continuous twist” (rotate and lead comes out gradually), but rather a “pump/twist?click” action. Some users pointed this out as a characteristic. No built?in eraser is visible on many listings — if you rely heavily on erasers, you may want to plan for a separate one or check specific variant specs. At the price point, this is a premium pencil; performance and build justify it, but it’s beyond standard value mechanicals.
Summary
The Leuchtturm1917?Drehgriffel?Nr.?2 Mechanical Pencil in black is more than just a writing tool: it’s a design statement. With its brushed metal body, elegant black finish, refined twist mechanism, and compatibility with professional?grade lead, it delivers both form and function. Whether you’re journaling, note?taking, sketching or just appreciating fine stationery, this pencil stands out.

-
As with all high?end tools, the price is higher than budget mechanical pencils — worth it if you value design and build quality.
