Graphite Pencil Pelikan 817028 B 2 pc(s)

The Pelikan 817028 graphite pencil in B hardness is designed for general writing, sketching and shading tasks. It combines a 3.5 mm lead diameter with a triangular body to deliver a stable line and a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. Each pencil measures 140 mm in length and the pack contains two pencils in beige and grey finishes, offering a durable core suitable for repeated sharpening and varied pressure while drawing or taking notes.

Advantages

The B-grade graphite provides a balance between softness and control, producing darker strokes than standard HB pencils while remaining precise enough for detailed work. The 3.5 mm lead is thicker than typical school pencils, increasing break resistance and reducing the frequency of sharpening. The triangular barrel supports an ergonomic hold that helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The compact 140 mm length fits most pencil holders and cases.

Suitable for

• Sketching and shading in art studies
• General handwriting and note-taking
• Technical drawing where softer line variation is needed
• Students and hobbyists requiring durable, easy-to-hold pencils

How to use

Hold the triangular pencil between thumb, index and middle fingers to take advantage of the ergonomic shape.
