The CASTELL 9000 is a genuinely classic pencil. It was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Its quality and finely graduated degrees of hardness have made it a firm favourite with artists and illustrators. Its lead is fully bonded with the wood surround and is therefore particularly break-resistant. The CASTELL 9000 is available in 16 different degrees of hardness, making it the ideal pencil for all technical and artistic applications, for example writing, drawing or sketching. It offers top-quality while applying.
Hold
Even the hold influences a drawing.
Held at the pencil’s end, the drawing’s

The further a pencil is held towards its tip,
the more specifically and exactly the lines
can be drawn.
