Key specifications

• Pointing: suitable for standard manual and mechanical sharpeners
• Intended use: writing and sketching

How to use

Sharpen the pencil with a standard handheld sharpener or a suitable mechanical sharpener to obtain the desired point. Apply moderate pressure during writing or sketching to maintain the integrity of the HB core; heavier pressure will produce darker lines but may wear the tip faster. For sketching, vary angle and pressure to achieve different textures and tones. Store in a dry place to preserve the wood and graphite quality.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use a sharp, well-maintained sharpener and replace the pencil when the core becomes too short for comfortable handling. Use an eraser rated for graphite to remove marks cleanly and avoid papers with rough surfaces that may accelerate wear.
