The T’Gaal is named after TOGARU(尖る) which means to taper to a point in Japanese (it also means to 'look displeased'.. should you need to show off!)  A classic since 1993, the T'Gaal allows the user to select the optimal angle of the core tip by using a dial.  Use a low number for soft leads or colored pencils and a high number for hard leads that you'd like to sharpen to a long point.  Contoured body for comfortable use; shutter to prevent escaped shavings.  Boxed.
