Faber Castell goldfaber pencil 2B

The Faber-Castell Goldfaber 2B is a high-quality graphite pencil designed for writing, drawing, and sketching, suitable for students and hobby artists.

Here are the key details about this pencil:

• Hardness Grade: 2B

• On the graphite scale, ‘B’ denotes blackness and softness. The ‘2’ indicates it is relatively soft and produces a dark, smooth, and easy-to-smudge line.

• Pencils in the B to 2B range are ideal for general drawing, shading, and expressive writing.

• Lead Material: Made from finely ground graphite and clay. The composition provides a smooth and consistent laydown.

• Break Resistance: Features Faber-Castell’s typical SV (Secural Bonding Process). This is a special process where the lead is fully glued to the wood casing, significantly increasing break resistance, even when dropped or sharpened.

• Barrel: Typically has a hexagonal shape for a comfortable and non-rolling grip. The barrel is often blue with golden stripes.

• Intended Use: Versatile and good for general writing, quick sketches, and developing tones in artwork.

• Sustainability: The wood is often sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forestry.
