Faber-Castell 9000 Perfect Pencil with Built-In Sharpener Cap

The Castell 9000 has been around since 1905, when Count Alexander von Faber-Castell first introduced it, and its dependable quality and carefully calibrated degrees of hardness have kept it a staple for artists and illustrators alike.

The pencil itself is a B grade, the perfect all-around choice for everyday writing. Faber-Castell’s SV bonding process makes the graphite especially resistant to breakage, and the wood is finished with an eco-friendly water-based varnish. On the other end, you’ll find a quality PVC-free eraser that lifts marks cleanly without smudging.

Green cap slides over the point to protect it when you toss your pencil in a pouch. It hides a built-in sharpener and features a sturdy metal clip. As the pencil gets shorter with every sharpen, flip the cap onto the end and it becomes an extender.

Includes 1 perfect pencil in a pillow case gift pouch. Refills available here.
