A round pencil with grip enhancements, this is Faber-Castell’s latest “design pencil”. We saw another version last year. It seems like an ongoing occasional series.
A winner of a “reddot design award”, it also comes in black, though I have just the white and silver versions. The white is “pearly”, while the silver has some sparkle – quite a bit when seen in natural light.
The grip, created by protruding swirls, will be a matter of preference. I neither loved nor hated it.
They lay down a nice firm dark line, similar to other Faber-Castell pencils in ‘B’.
After a couple of weeks, I’m not so enthused by the format, though I still like the predecessor very much.
Quite a departure from last year’s version. May I ask, did you purchase these locally?
Cool, I haven’t seen these before.
Yes, locally purchased!
No offense i’m just a bit curious,
:| Isn’t it a bit useless to have pencils that lack erasers?
personally, i PREFER them not to have erasers! most of the times they suck and sometimes when theyre rubber they go bad! so, no, its not useless. just my opinion.
Does anyone know where these can be bought online?
