8 Noteworthy Pencils - ✎W&G✎

[@xcforlife77]

I gasped out loud when I saw the Eberhard Blackwing - lucky you!

[@mourneswanderer1767]

Thanks for sharing some of your lovely old pencils. I adore pencils, both traditional, mechanical, and clutch varieties, also fountain and dip pens. I love to sketch in the Mountains here in Ireland. The mindfulness element is awesome!

[@jfcomics9466]

I haven't found anyone from NI who does this sort of thing, until this channel came up in my recommended

[@WoodGraphite]

Make weird esoteric videos about pencils?

[@Steve.Vaught]

Where I am Dixon Ticonderogas are every where. They're so common I find them on the ground all of the time. That's why I've had so many.

[@pushkar13_112]

Where are you?

[@thetr00per30]

I am surprised the new company that bought the Blackwing name has not bought these old ones to analyze the exact ratio and kind of the graphite and clay that made them so special

[@mugeisan]

I have a stupid-large collection of copying pencils and pencil leads. I'm not a toxicologist, but I am a physician and can assure you that unless you are sniffing the shavings or licking the tip (like they used to), you are fine. The transdermal/percutaneous absorption is very small. You wouldn't want to be stabbed by one, though - that requires surgical removal! Just don't try to reenact any movie scenes.

[@WoodGraphite]

This is fantastic advice! They still spook me a bit. Thanks for chiming in!

[@devlieg72]

There was a time in the U.S. when the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil (the yellow ones ranging from H to S) were good writing pencils. They all wrote very smooth. That was about 20 years ago. Draftsmen and engineers usually used Venus or Koh-A-Noor pencils pencils for some reason.

[@aussiegruber86]

1:28 I should get one of these for meetings at work

[@marleyjane5124]

I have 73 Ticonderogas. They really do seem to be the worlds best pencil.

[@theleoj91]

you should do a new edc video. i carried a fountain pen for many years and you inspired me to change to pencil. been carrying one for quiet a lot of time in fact. and paper of more quality too. i aint completly analog, but i like having the feel of a pencil a lot

[@WoodGraphite]

+theleoj91 I've got one in the works, wanted to really until my loadout had significantly changed. I'm very glad to hear you've made the leap to pencil, it's awesome. Keep on writing!

[@ashknoecklein]

Mongol 482 #3s are my ABSOLUTE holy-grail pencil. I have about 30 and I may not be able to bring myself to sharpen any more of them. I've been branching out into Asian pencils because I need a dark lead to be happy.

[@WoodGraphite]

+Ash Gilbert Try some of the Japanese leads, the calligraphic nature of kanji letterforms means they have a wide variety of Dark​ lead pencils (:

[@ashknoecklein]

Thanks!

[@hishaamkhan5563]

Here in South Africa the staedler pencil is used the most.

[@WoodGraphite]

That's really interesting, thanks!

[@1334cass]

What a fun video! Thanks 😊 I really enjoyed it!!

[@WoodGraphite]

+1334cass You are very welcome!

[@jehangamage1103]

I love your pencils you get 1000/1000

[@JadeSchafer]

Those are all pretty cool.

[@DarthDookie69]

I just got 8 of the Eberhard Faber Noblot 705 ink pencils for free and can barely find any information on them. Are they worth using? Anything special about them? They’re super expensive on eBay.

[@keithwixtrom6435]

One more awesome video! Thanks!

[@WoodGraphite]

+Keith Wixtrom Very welcome Keith!

[@PuppetMaster8707]

Man this guy is DEADLY serious about pencils!!! I just draw and write with them not collect them like this WOW

[@JacobA6464]

The Mongol sharpens very well

[@StopFear]

Has someone ever figured out what brand or pencil was used in the Dark Knight joker pencil trick?

[@19Jos88]

How long do you use your pencils?

[@raghavmangalapalli4742]

I need a good pencil to bubble those MCQ test sheets. Any good suggestions?

[@WoodGraphite]

+Raghav M Hmm, something dark but with decent point retention. Try a Japanese Tombow 8900 in 2B or an old favourite the Staedtler Noris in HB

[@raghavmangalapalli4742]

Wood & Graphite Thanks! I'm basically looking for something that's dark and doesn't smudge

[@WoodGraphite]

+Raghav M A difficult task

[@TelxGaming]

Nice video! I usually use my Blackwing 602s or my Ticonderoga's! Their great! I recently bought a clutch pencil. It's awesome, but the lead is very light. What kind of lead should I get? It's 2mm, I'm new to pencils.

[@WoodGraphite]

+TelxGaming Try a 2B, nice and dark and smooth (:

[@TelxGaming]

Wood & Graphite Thanks! I'll give them a try!

[@jerrymoore8580]

Well done video, thank you! Anyone here know where to find black eraser caps? I checked the usual sources, with no luck. I think they would pair well with my General's Cedar Pointe #333.

[@WoodGraphite]

Never seen any, but keep an eye out in big box stationery stores!

[@mugeisan]

Many black eyeliner pencils have a perfectly sized, black cap. Many of my wife's have gone missing. :o)

[@WoodGraphite]

Haha, another great tip. My fiance might be down several eyeliner caps...

[@cmcasadoiro]

Hi! Love your channel! :) Have you ever tried the Flying Tiger natural/black pencils? I believe they are manufactured by Zebra. I would love to know thoughts on them. Thank you!

[@WoodGraphite]

I have! They are quite nice for cheap stock pencils. Perhaps I'll do a video (:

[@sevkettamturk2732]

I am preparing for the exam, so I write a lot and I am solving tests. Which pen would you recommend? Pentel Smash 0.5 and Pentel Graph 1000 For Pro 0.5, which is better?

[@SykotikOne]

Where can I buy the giant dice?

Machine shop!

[@Hiro-yr9qt]

Wood & Graphite Thanks!

[@Hiro-yr9qt]

Wood & Graphite is there a website I can go to?

[@user-nw1wc1jo4l]

Why do some pencils have metal all over where the eraser is supposed to be?

[@WoodGraphite]

+No Name It's an end cap, it was a trend among professional pencils back on the day. I'm not sure it had any meaningful purpose, but it sure looks nice

[@metasprite5648]

Nice

Wood & Graphite good pencils my dude 👍😀👍

[@mourneswanderer1767]

I must pop into Tiger to see if i can find the 'giant mega pencil' for display in my 'den'

[@Papa-Anvil]

Please come back.

[@pueblodove]

I have more than one pencil smaller than that.

Pencil collecting?

[@faqlkire9533]

I found the “biggest” pencil in Typo.

[@jehangamage1103]

Your so lucky

[@almollitor]

I have a new Blackwing 602. It was pricey for a pencil (About $1.95 US, I think.), but not terribly expensive. It has a black eraser and says"Half the pressure, twice the speed" on the back. How does this differ from yours?

[@almollitor]

Oops. I see mine is a Palomino, not Eberhard Faber. Did you do a video on the history of this pencil?

[@WoodGraphite]

+Al Mollitor I haven't yet, that's a heck of a video! The difference is about 47 years and $58 dollars (: Try reading the 'Blackwing pages' website, a goldmine of information on the BW

[@lynnbrannan39]

we need a collaboration between you and field notes! i am emailing them.
