A writing instrument comprises a plurality of slots for holding writing implements such as colored leads, the slots being formed radially in the inner wall of a cylindrical body. The instrument comprises a guide tube mounted coaxially within the cylindrical body and having an opening which can be aligned any one of the slots, a cover plate provided at the opening of the guide tube and adapted to be tilted by the operation of a knock cap, and a chuck provided to the front end of the guide tube. A selected writing implement in the slot is allowed to drop by gravity into the guide tube from the tilted cover plate and then is clamped by the chuck.
