AirStep is a light 0.5 mm mechanical pencil from Pilot that keeps feeding you lead without another click.

When the lead gets short, just touch the tip to the paper. The lead and the guide pipe slide back in together, then the lead comes forward again while the pipe stays where it is, so you carry on writing. One click goes a long way. Inside, a resin spring cushions your pressure, which gives the line a soft feel and stops the lead sinking too far when you press hard.

The Ketchup Red and Mustard Yellow limited colors carry Airsteppy, a character drawn by the illustrator Shinknownsuke.

Why people love it
- Keeps writing long after a normal pencil would need another click
- A soft, cushioned feel, even if you write with a heavy hand
- A wavy grip that sits naturally under your fingers
- The guide pipe tucks away, so it won't poke through a pencil case
