Can you still be excited about pencils in the age of PCs and the internet? Yes, you can: short, long, round, square, smooth, with an integrated sharpener and eraser – there are no limits to the attractive new designs. The world's only pencil of its kind: Grip 2001. The patented grip zone prevents fingers from slipping. The ergonomic triangular shape ensures fatigue-free writing. The surface coating is made from environmentally friendly water-based lacquer, a technology first introduced by Faber-Castell. The lead is fully bonded to the wooden casing, making it particularly break-resistant.
