Faber-Castell Castell 9000 Graphite Pencils are true classics, first introduced by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Renowned for their exceptional quality and precisely graded degrees of hardness, these pencils have long been a favourite among artists, designers, and illustrators. Each pencil features a fully bonded graphite core for superior break resistance, encased in sustainably sourced wood with an environmentally friendly, water-based varnish. H-grade Castell 9000 Graphite Pencils deliver crisp, light lines and high precision, making them ideal for technical drawing, drafting and detailed illustration.
