HOUSE OF GRAPHITE

Pelikan's combino learn-to-write pencil is a jumbo, ergonomically triangular wooden pencil aimed at children (roughly ages five to seven) who are beginning to write, with the three-sided barrel encouraging a correct grip. It uses a soft, break-resistant B graphite lead about 4 mm thick and carries a name field, with animal-motif barrels in pink or blue that coordinate with the wider combino range. The casing is FSC 100%-certified wood (species not stated) and the pencil is 175 mm long; it is not eraser-tipped, as the matching combino eraser is sold separately. This specimen: Learn-to-Write Pencil in grade B.
