Castell 9000 - a true classic among pencils - was launched on the market in 1905 by Alexander Graf von Faber-Castell. Quality and the fine gradation of the hardness grades have made it the preferred tool of artists and draughtspeople alike. Its lead is fully glued with the wooden casing, providing effective protection from breaks. The Castell 9000 is available in 16 different hardness grades, making it the perfect pencil for all technical and artistic applications
