Brought onto the market by Alexander Graf von Faber-Castell in 1905, the 9000 pencil's quality and finely graded hardnesses have made it a favourite tool for artists and draughtsmen. It is coated with environmentally compatible water-based paint, a technology which Faber-Castell was the first manufacturer to introduce. Its lead is completely glued together with the wooden shaft, making it especially resilient to breakage.
Available here individually in 16 grades from 8B to 6H, to suit all styles of drawing.
