Faber-Castell Castell 9000 Graphite Pencil
Count Alexander von Faber-Castell launched the Castell 9000 in 1905, and it's still made in Germany in the same dark green hexagonal barrel.
The graphite lead is bonded to the wood along its full length — Faber-Castell calls this its SV process — so the lead is much less likely to break inside the pencil if it gets dropped. The finish is a water-based varnish. The line runs across 16 grades, and we carry four: HB for everyday writing, B and 2B for softer, darker notes and sketching, and 4B for shading and bold lines. There's no eraser on the end, just pencil.
