## Summary description

Faber-Castell GRIP 2001 B is a graphite pencil with B hardness, grey finish and an ergonomically triangular shape for comfortable grip. Supplied as a single pencil, it is suitable for sketching, shading and general drawing tasks. The textured GRIP surface helps prevent slipping during extended use.

## Long description

Faber-Castell GRIP 2001 B is a graphite drawing pencil with B hardness, featuring a grey lacquer finish and an ergonomically triangular body designed for comfortable and controlled handling. The pencil is supplied as a single unit and combines a textured Soft-GRIP zone with triangle-shaped ergonomics to reduce finger fatigue and slippage during prolonged sketching, shading and everyday writing tasks. The lead is bonded to the wood casing for increased break resistance, and the surface coating uses a water-based paint developed for environmental safety.
Advantages
The triangular shape promotes a stable, relaxed grip while the Soft-GRIP textured zone prevents slipping. B-grade graphite produces soft, dark strokes well suited to shading and expressive sketching. SV bonding of the core to the wooden casing increases durability and reduces breakage during sharpening and use. The water-based lacquer finish provides a smooth feel and a neutral grey appearance while meeting higher environmental standards for coatings.
Suitable for
 Sketching and tonal shading in illustrations
 General drawing and quick studies
 Everyday writing and note-taking
 Schoolwork and art classes
 Detailing and preliminary layouts for design work
Key specifications
 Core hardness: B (soft, dark strokes)
 Shape: Ergonomic triangular barrel
 Grip: Textured Soft-GRIP zone for slip resistance
 Finish: Grey water-based lacquer
 Lead bonding: SV bonding for extra break resistance
 Pack size: Single pencil
How to use
Sharpen the pencil with a standard hand or mechanical sharpener appropriate for wood-cased pencils to obtain the desired point for fine lines or broader strokes. Use light pressure for delicate lines and increase pressure gradually for darker, bolder shading. The triangular shape encourages consistent finger placement; hold the pencil so that the Soft-GRIP zone rests against your fingertips for improved control. Store the pencil away from extreme heat and humidity to preserve the lacquer finish and core integrity.
Usage recommendations
For best results in sketching and shading, pair the B pencil with harder grades (H, HB) for outlines or with softer grades (2B) for deeper tonal values. Use a kneaded eraser for gentle highlights and a fine-point sharpener to maintain a precise tip without undue core breakage.
