PENTEL wooden triangular pencil 2B CB60T-2B — graphite 2B, ergonomic triangular barrel

PENTEL wooden triangular pencil CB60T-2B features a 2B graphite core housed in a three-sided ergonomic wooden barrel. Designed to combine familiar wooden construction with an improved grip profile, this pencil is suitable for everyday writing, sketching and general drawing tasks. The 2B graphite provides a balance of darkness and smoothness while remaining easy to sharpen and resilient under normal use.

Advantages

The triangular barrel reduces rolling on flat surfaces and promotes a stable, comfortable hold, helping to reduce hand fatigue during extended writing or drawing sessions. The 2B graphite offers visibly darker strokes than HB while maintaining reliable break resistance for routine use. Standard wooden casing allows for quick sharpening with most pencil sharpeners and provides a tactile, familiar feel preferred in classrooms and studios.

Suitable for

• Schoolwork and handwriting practice
• Sketching and shading in art classes
• Office note-taking and drafting
• Technical drawing where a softer lead is acceptable

Key specifications

• Lead grade: 2B (soft, darker line)
• Barrel shape: triangular ergonomic design
• Material: wooden casing with graphite core
• Usage type: writing, sketching, drawing
• Sharpening: compatible with standard pencil sharpeners

How to use

Hold the pencil between the thumb and first two fingers in a comfortable position along the triangular barrel to take advantage of the ergonomic grip. For general writing and note-taking apply moderate pressure; for darker shading or sketching, increase pressure or layer strokes. Sharpen using a manual or electric sharpener suitable for wooden pencils, removing only enough wood to expose the desired length of lead. Store in a dry place to prevent the wooden casing from warping.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged drawing sessions, rotate the pencil slightly in the fingers to distribute wear evenly along the lead. Use on paper with medium tooth for best shading results and avoid excessive pressure to minimize lead breakage.
