Castell 9000 - a genuinely classic pencil - was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Its quality and finely graduated degrees of hardness have made it a firm favorite with artists and illustrators.

The Perfect Pencil writes, sharpens, erases, protects and extends! It features particularly break-resistant lead due to SV bonding and has a water-based eco varnish finish. The protective cap in matching green, has a sturdy metal clip and an integrated sharpener. It acts as an extender as the pencil is sharpened and protects the tip when not in use.

The graphite pencil in degree of lead hardness B, is ideal for writing and includes a high-quality, PVC-free, smudge-free eraser.

Faber-Castell is the world's leading and oldest manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, making more than two billion per year! They believe that a respectful interaction with nature is key alongside sustainability, equal opportunities, equal treatment and the prohibition of child labour worldwide. Faber-Castell's forests in Southeast Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tonnes of CO2, neutralising the emissions of their production sites, and covers 82% of their global energy needs, using renewable sources. Furthermore, Faber-Castell continually works towards using more environmentally friendly products and packaging, from recycled plastic and cardboard to refillable and PVC-free products. Passionate, responsible and sustainable, Faber-Castell aims to unleash creative potential and inspire self-expression.
