The 2.0-2.5 mm core is break-resistant, and the premium cedar-like wood ensures easy and even sharpening without damaging the pencil body.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these pencils pre-sharpened?

Yes, all pencils in the set are factory-sharpened and ready to use right out of the box.

What erasers work best with these pencils?

For soft pencils (B series), we recommend using a kneaded eraser, and for hard pencils (H series), a standard vinyl eraser is best.

Is the graphite smudge-proof?

B series (soft) pencils have high pigment content and can be intentionally blended or smudged for effect, though they may smudge accidentally. H series pencils are hard and virtually smudge-free.
