ARCHIVIST'S NOTES
The Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth 1538 is a flat, carpenter-style sketching pencil: a wide rectangular graphite lead (about 5.0 x 2.0 mm) set in a flat "natural wooden envelope" barrel, sold in three soft grades, 2B, 4B and 6B. The broad flat lead resists breakage and is shaped with a knife or chisel rather than a standard sharpener, while the oblong, non-cylindrical body sits stably on a bench without rolling. Designed for carpenters and joiners, it doubles as a drawing tool for broad strokes, shading, loose sketching and even calligraphy.
This specimen: Sketching Flat / Carpenter Pencil 1538 in grade 6B.
