Swiss quality graphite pencils in an exceptional range

Our Graphite Line comes in 15 different lead graduations ranging from 9B to 4H, allowing you to explore different effects and drawing techniques, whether you want to work with a deep black or a very light grey. Their unique hexagonal shape provides excellent grip and, importantly, won't roll across the table whilst your drawing!
Manufactured in our Geneva workshops, all the pencils in the Graphite Line collection are made from FSC™ certified 1st choice cedar wood and a high-quality lead. You'll notice that the colour of each pencil's varnish impacts the intensity and gradation of its lead. This gives you plenty of choice when it comes to selecting the grade of your graphite pencil and how intense you want the black shade to be.
