In an age dominated by PCs and the internet, can people still be enthusiastic about pencils? Yes, they can: short, long, round, square, smooth, with an integrated sharpener and eraser - there are no limits to attractive innovations. The Grip 2001 is the only pencil of its kind in the world. The patented grip zone prevents fingers from slipping. The ergonomic triangular shape ensures fatigue-free writing. The surface coating is made from environmentally friendly water-based paint, a technology first introduced by Faber-Castell. The lead is completely encased in wood, making it particularly break-resistant.
